Hear from Our Customers
You wake up without new bite marks. Your kids sleep through the night without scratching. You stop checking every shadow and crevice before bed.
That’s life after professional bed bug control. No more jumping at every sound in the walls. No more wondering if you’re bringing these pests to work or friends’ homes. No more avoiding your own bedroom.
With effective treatment, your home becomes yours again. Your family relaxes, your property stays protected, and you focus on what actually matters in your life.
We’ve served New Lothrop and Shiawassee County since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every job, not just book knowledge.
We’ve earned awards from Angie’s List and Home Advisor because we do things differently. You get the same trained technician every visit – not a rotating cast of part-time college students who don’t know your property.
Our integrated pest management training and specialized services set us apart. We’re one of fewer than 100 companies nationwide offering canine bed bug detection, bringing big-city expertise to small-town service.
First, we conduct a thorough inspection using our trained detection dogs. These canines detect live bed bugs and viable eggs with 95% accuracy – far superior to visual inspection alone, which only catches about 30% of infestations.
Next, we implement targeted treatment based on the infestation’s extent and location. This might include heat treatment, chemical applications, or combination approaches that eliminate bed bugs at all life stages – adults, nymphs, and eggs.
Finally, we monitor and follow up. Bed bug control isn’t one-and-done. We return to verify elimination and provide additional treatment if needed, all covered under our satisfaction guarantee.

Your service includes professional canine detection, targeted treatment for all bed bug life stages, and ongoing monitoring to prevent re-infestation. We handle residential and commercial properties throughout New Lothrop.
Michigan’s climate creates ideal conditions for bed bugs year-round. Unlike outdoor pests that die in winter, bed bugs thrive in heated homes and businesses. They can survive without feeding for up to a year and reproduce rapidly once established.
New Lothrop’s small-town setting doesn’t protect against bed bugs – they travel in luggage, furniture, and clothing from anywhere. Whether you picked them up during travel, from used furniture, or through visitors, we eliminate them completely and discreetly.
Look for small, reddish-brown insects about the size of an apple seed, typically hiding in mattress seams, bed frames, and furniture crevices. You might notice bite marks appearing in lines or clusters on exposed skin, blood spots on sheets, or dark fecal spots around sleeping areas.
Many people also report a sweet, musty smell in heavily infested rooms. However, bed bugs are expert hiders and early infestations often go undetected by visual inspection alone.
Our trained detection dogs can find bed bugs at all life stages with 95% accuracy, even single eggs hidden in cracks as thin as a credit card. This early detection saves you time, money, and prevents the psychological stress of a major infestation.
Trained bed bug detection dogs have over 220 million olfactory receptors compared to humans’ 6 million. They can detect the specific pheromones that live bed bugs and viable eggs produce, even in concentrations humans cannot smell.
Visual inspection alone only catches about 30% of bed bug infestations because these pests hide in incredibly small spaces during daylight hours. Dogs can inspect an entire room in minutes and alert to areas that would take human technicians hours to examine thoroughly.
Our canine detection service puts us among fewer than 100 companies nationwide with this capability. The dogs undergo the same rigorous training as bomb-detection canines and maintain continuous training to keep their skills sharp.
Most customers see significant reduction in bed bug activity within 24-48 hours of treatment. Complete elimination typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on the infestation’s severity and the treatment method used.
Heat treatment can eliminate bed bugs in a single day by raising room temperatures to levels that kill all life stages instantly. Chemical treatments may require follow-up applications 10-14 days later to catch newly hatched nymphs.
We monitor your situation closely and return for additional treatment if needed at no extra charge. Our goal is complete elimination, not just temporary reduction. You shouldn’t see any live bed bug activity within 60 days of treatment completion.
Professional treatment eliminates existing bed bug populations, but you can get new infestations if bed bugs are reintroduced to your home. This typically happens through travel, used furniture, or visitors who unknowingly carry bed bugs.
The good news is that early detection and treatment are much easier and less expensive than dealing with established infestations. Our canine detection service can identify new activity before it becomes a major problem.
We provide guidance on prevention strategies, including travel precautions and inspection techniques for used furniture. Many customers schedule periodic inspections, especially after travel or major events where many people visit their homes.
Bed bugs do not transmit diseases, but their bites can cause allergic reactions, secondary infections from scratching, and significant psychological distress. Some people develop severe anxiety, insomnia, and social isolation due to bed bug infestations.
The itchy, red welts from bed bug bites often appear in lines or clusters and can take days to develop. Not everyone reacts to bed bug bites, so you might have an infestation without visible bite marks.
The psychological impact often proves more challenging than physical symptoms. Many people report feeling violated, embarrassed, and unable to sleep peacefully. Professional elimination restores your peace of mind and allows your family to feel comfortable in their own home again.
Treatment costs vary based on your home’s size, infestation severity, and treatment method required. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden charges, so you know exactly what to expect before we begin work.
Our price matching policy ensures you get fair rates without sacrificing the quality and expertise that comes with 20+ years of experience. We also offer discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders as our way of supporting those who serve our community.
Most customers find professional treatment costs less than the ongoing expense of DIY attempts, replacement furniture, and potential property damage from untreated infestations. We provide free estimates and work with you to find an approach that fits your budget while eliminating the problem completely.
