You wake up without itchy welts covering your arms and legs. Your kids sleep through the night without scratching. You stop checking every hotel room like a detective before unpacking.
The constant anxiety about those tiny bloodsuckers disappears. No more washing everything in hot water twice a week or sleeping on the couch because you’re afraid of your own bed.
Your guests actually want to visit again. You can focus on what matters instead of constantly wondering if those dark spots are bed bug feces or just regular dirt.
We’ve been protecting Milford families from bed bugs for nearly 20 years. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every job, understanding exactly what Michigan homeowners face with these persistent pests.
We’re one of fewer than 100 companies in the entire United States offering canine bed bug detection—giving Milford residents access to the most advanced pest detection available. Our specially trained dogs can identify bed bug infestations with over 95% accuracy, catching problems before they spread throughout your home.
Unlike national chains that rotate college students through your property, you get the same experienced technician year after year. Someone who knows your home, understands Milford’s unique pest challenges, and takes pride in keeping your family safe.
First, your dedicated technician conducts a thorough inspection of your property—not just the obvious spots, but every potential hiding place bed bugs use. We’re looking for live bugs, eggs, fecal stains, and blood spots that indicate active infestations.
If needed, we deploy our canine detection team to pinpoint exactly where bed bugs are hiding. These dogs can detect even a single live bug or viable egg, something visual inspections often miss completely.
Next, we develop your personalized treatment plan. This might involve heat treatment that raises temperatures to lethal levels, targeted chemical applications, or a combination approach based on your specific situation and infestation severity.
Treatment begins immediately, targeting both current infestations and preventing future problems. Your technician explains exactly what they’re doing and why, so you understand the process every step of the way. Follow-up visits ensure the treatment is working and make adjustments if needed.

Your bed bug control service includes comprehensive inspection, advanced canine detection when needed, and customized treatment plans that address your specific situation. We use integrated pest management techniques that prioritize the safest effective treatments for your family.
Milford’s location in Oakland County means dealing with specific challenges. The area’s mix of established neighborhoods and newer developments creates ideal conditions for bed bug hitchhiking from hotels, offices, and public transportation. Our treatments address these local risk factors with methods proven effective in Michigan’s climate.
We also understand Milford residents’ concerns about chemical exposure around families and pets. That’s why we offer both heat treatment options that use no chemicals whatsoever, and carefully targeted chemical applications when needed. Most treatments allow you and your pets to return to treated areas within hours.
Your service includes follow-up support, detailed prevention guidance, and our commitment to return at no charge if bed bugs break through between scheduled visits. We also offer discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders, plus price matching against reasonable competitor rates.
The most obvious signs are itchy, red welts that appear in lines or clusters on your skin, especially on areas exposed while sleeping like arms, shoulders, and neck. However, not everyone reacts to bed bug bites, so you might have an infestation without knowing it.
Look for small blood spots on your sheets, dark or rust-colored stains on mattress seams, and tiny black specks that could be bed bug fecal matter. You might also notice a sweet, musty odor in heavily infested rooms.
Our canine detection service eliminates the guesswork completely. These specially trained dogs can detect bed bugs with over 95% accuracy, even finding single bugs or eggs that visual inspections miss. This early detection saves you thousands in potential damage and replacement costs by catching infestations before they spread throughout your home.
Heat treatment raises the temperature of affected areas to 113-142°F, which kills bed bugs at all life stages—eggs, nymphs, and adults—in a single session. It’s chemical-free, eco-friendly, and typically takes 3-6 hours depending on your home’s size. Heat penetrates into furniture, walls, and cracks where bed bugs hide.
Chemical treatment uses targeted applications of EPA-approved pesticides and typically requires 2-3 treatments spaced two weeks apart. While more affordable upfront, it takes longer to achieve complete elimination and requires careful preparation like washing all bedding and clothing in hot water.
Heat treatment has a higher success rate (around 97%) but costs more initially. Chemical treatment is less expensive but may require multiple visits. The best choice depends on your specific situation, budget, and the severity of your infestation. Our technicians will recommend the most effective approach for your Milford home after completing the inspection.
Heat treatment typically takes 4-6 hours from start to finish, depending on your home’s size and infestation severity. You’ll need to vacate during treatment, but you can return the same day once temperatures return to normal levels. Most families are back home by evening.
Chemical treatment is faster per visit—usually 1-2 hours—but requires multiple appointments spaced 14 days apart. You can typically return within 2-4 hours after chemical application, once products have dried completely.
Both methods require some preparation beforehand, like washing clothes and bedding in hot water, removing heat-sensitive items during thermal treatment, or clearing clutter to ensure thorough coverage. Your technician provides detailed preparation instructions tailored to your chosen treatment method. The key is following these instructions completely to ensure maximum effectiveness and prevent reinfestation.
Yes, bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers and can spread throughout your home if not treated properly. They travel through wall voids, electrical outlets, and even on clothing or personal items. This is why professional treatment is crucial—DIY methods often miss satellite colonies that later reinfest treated areas.
Heat treatment eliminates bed bugs wherever they’re hiding during the session, but offers no residual protection. If new bed bugs are introduced from outside sources like hotels or visitors’ belongings, reinfestation is possible. Chemical treatment provides ongoing protection for weeks or months after application.
Our approach includes thorough inspection of your entire home, not just obvious problem areas. We identify and treat all potential hiding spots and provide detailed guidance on preventing reintroduction. If bed bugs return within our service guarantee period, we’ll retreat your home at no additional charge. The key is catching problems early through regular monitoring and maintaining vigilance when traveling or having guests stay overnight.
Treatment costs vary based on your home’s size, infestation severity, and chosen treatment method. Heat treatment typically ranges from $1,200-$2,500 for most Milford homes, while chemical treatment usually costs $300-$800 per visit with 2-3 visits needed.
While heat treatment costs more upfront, it often provides better value because it eliminates the problem in one session with higher success rates. Chemical treatment requires multiple visits and ongoing monitoring, which can add up over time.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges after inspection. We also offer discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders, and we’ll match reasonable competitor pricing. Payment plans are available for larger projects. Remember that professional treatment is an investment in your family’s health and your property’s value—the cost of not treating bed bugs properly includes ongoing sleep disruption, potential health issues, and expensive furniture replacement if infestations spread.
We’re one of fewer than 100 companies nationwide offering canine bed bug detection, giving you certainty about infestations that are notoriously difficult to locate. Our specially trained dogs can detect single bugs or viable eggs with over 95% accuracy—something visual inspections often miss completely.
