Bed bugs are more than just a nuisance—they are one of the fastest-spreading pests in Michigan homes and businesses. These tiny, blood-feeding insects hide in beds, couches, furniture, and baseboards and can cause sleepless nights, itchy bites, and serious infestations if not treated properly.

At Hi-Tech Pest Control, we’ve been protecting families and businesses across Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb Counties for over 40 years. Our proven treatments completely eliminate bed bugs—fast, safe, and discreet.

Fascinating (and Frightening) Bed Bug Facts

Bed Bugs Spread Quickly: Within just two weeks, bed bugs can move from a single couch into dining chairs, bedrooms, and even appliances.
Heat & Carbon Dioxide Attraction: Bed bugs are drawn to your body heat and exhaled CO₂, making your bed the perfect target.
They Don’t Disappear on Their Own: Without professional treatment, bed bugs can survive for months without feeding—waiting in cracks, crevices, and hidden areas.
DIY Treatments Backfire: Using sprays, alcohol, or store-bought products often drives bed bugs deeper into walls, outlets, and furniture—making infestations worse.
Bites Are Only the Beginning: If you’re seeing itchy bites, you already have a growing infestation. Sightings mean the problem is advanced.

Do bed bugs spread disease?

While bed bugs are not known to transmit diseases, their bites can cause allergic reactions, skin irritation, and secondary infections from scratching. The biggest impact is psychological—loss of sleep, anxiety, and embarrassment.
