“How Bad Are Bed Bugs… Really?”

Short answer: bad. Long answer:

grab some coffee. Bed bugs are having a global comeback tour—biting from Paris to Las Vegas to right here in Michigan. They don’t care about your ZIP code, your thread count, or your loyalty status. If there’s a warm human and a cozy seam, they’re RSVP’ing “yes.”

Where are bed bugs worst? In the U.S.

Every year, pest firms publish “worst cities” lists based on treatment data. In 2025, Chicago landed #1 again, followed by Cleveland and Detroit rounding out the top three. (We love you, Detroit—call us, we’ll help.)

Bonus: New York dropped to #15 in 2025—proof that aggressive inspection and prevention help. New York Post

Around the world

Paris had a headline-grabbing surge in 2023, with reports spanning homes, cinemas, and transit (right before the Olympics), and a national discussion about what to do next. London watched nervously, reported concerns on transit, and saw callouts rise—though not as much as the panic suggested. Australia documented a huge multi-year resurgence, too. PMC+5Reuters+5TIME+5

“What about big destinations—Disney World, Kalahari, Las Vegas?”

Large hospitality brands (theme parks, mega-resorts, indoor-waterpark hotels, Strip properties—you get the idea) typically follow hotel industry best practices called IPM (integrated pest management): frequent inspections (housekeeping checks seams & headboards), encasements, quick room-out-of-service protocols, and professional treatments. Those are the industry standards recommended by hotel associations and pest-management experts. Facilities Management Advisor+3AHLA+3National Pest Management Association+3

Do incidents still happen? Yes—anywhere humans travel. Las Vegas has even seen recent lawsuits tied to alleged hotel bed bugs; big tourist hubs deal with both pests and publicity. (This underscores why robust inspection programs matter.) SFGATE+2Fox News+2

Key point: There’s no single U.S. federal rule forcing hotels to publicly disclose bed bug cases; requirements vary by state and city, so most properties rely on internal protocols plus local regulations. Environmental Protection Agency+2Environmental Protection Agency+2

How long has this been a “crisis”?

After a mid-20th-century decline, bed bugs resurged in the late 1990s–2000s worldwide—driven by travel and resistance—and they’ve stayed stubborn ever since. Public-health and research groups have tracked this trend for decades. PMC+2BioMed Central+2

What actually works (and what doesn’t)

Works: Professional, evidence-based IPM: precise inspections, targeted treatments, follow-up verification, and customer education. That’s why hotels and smart homeowners use it. National Pest Management Association

Doesn’t (well): Random sprays, “miracle gadgets,” and wishful thinking. Resistance and hiding behavior mean you’ll miss the majority of the population. BioMed Central

😂 Tiny laughs, big truths

  • Bed bugs don’t care if your hotel has a lazy river or a monorail. They’re here for the all-you-can-eat human buffet.
  • They’re equal-opportunity hitchhikers: roller bags, purses, hoodies, and—yes—your favorite stadium blanket.
  • If you see one, there are probably more. They’re the cocktail party guests who arrive early, stay late, and invite friends.

Michigan & You: What to do right now

  1. Check seams on beds, couches, recliners, and headboards—look for live bugs, shed skins, tiny black fecal spots, or blood specks.
  2. After travel: keep luggage off beds, bag clothes, wash/dry on high heat.

3. Call professionals early. The earlier we act, the easier (and cheaper) the fix.

✅ Why Hi-Tech Pest Control

  • One-treatment eradication with furniture salvage (keep your beds, couches & recliners).
  • Same-day service across Livonia, Troy, Bloomfield Twp, Farmington Hills, Westland, Warren, Detroit & all SE Michigan.

❓ FAQ

Q: Are bed bugs only a U.S. problem?

A: No—there’s a global resurgence tied to travel and resistance. Paris, London, Australian cities, U.S. metros—you’ll find headlines everywhere. Reuters+2TIME+2

Q: Do “fancy” hotels or theme-park resorts avoid bed bugs?

A: They work hard to prevent them with daily inspections and rapid response, but zero risk isn’t realistic anywhere humans sleep. That’s why IPM is standard.

Q: How can a city drop in the rankings?

A: More inspections + prevention can reduce treatments counted by ranking lists. Example: NYC dropped to #15 in 2025. New York Post

Q: Is there a national rule forcing hotels to disclose bed bugs?

A: No single federal rule. Requirements vary by state/city; many properties follow internal protocols and industry guidance. Environmental Protection Agency+1

Q: Why not just spray everything myself?

A: Resistance + hiding behavior often makes DIY  methods fail and spreads bugs further. Professional IPM hits all life stages and harborages. BioMed Central

Where do Bed Bugs Hide?

Hi-Tech Pest Control • Michigan’s #1 Bed Bug Exterminator

If you’ve ever asked yourself “where do bed bugs hide?”, you’re not alone. Bed bugs are expert hiders that thrive in cracks, seams, and everyday furniture. Knowing their hiding spots is the first step to protecting your home and stopping infestations before they get out of control.

🔎 Top Places Bed Bugs Hide in Your Home

Bed bugs aren’t limited to just beds. They move easily and settle anywhere close to their human food source. Common hiding places include:

Mattress Seams & Box Springs –

  • The #1 hiding place. Bed bugs nest close to sleeping humans for easy meals.

Bed Frames & Headboards –

  • Cracks, joints, and behind headboards are perfect for bed bugs.

Couches & Recliners

  • Living rooms are hotspots. Bed bugs hide in cushions, recliner mechanisms, and fabric folds.

Dining Room Chairs

  • Bed bugs don’t just live in bedrooms. They often spread to dining chairs where people sit daily.

Nightstands & Dressers

  • Small cracks in wooden furniture make ideal nests.

Electrical Outlets & Baseboards –

  • Bed bugs crawl into walls, outlets, and floor moldings to spread from room to room.

Curtains & Drapes

  • Bed bugs climb and hide in folds of fabric near beds and windows.

Clothing, Bags, & Luggage

  • A favorite hitchhiking method — bed bugs spread when you travel or visit others.

Why Hiding Places Matter

Every time a bed bug feeds, it matures. The more hiding spots, the faster infestations multiply. All of the hiding spots may become very difficult to find when homeowners force them into tertiary areas by spraying general use insecticides and alcohol. DIY sprays often fail — they only hit visible bugs while hundreds remain hidden nearby and others run for higher ground.

At Hi-Tech Pest Control, our inspections target all hiding places: beds, recliners, couches, chairs, outlets, and more. We don’t just kill visible bugs — we stop the infestation at its source. Remove and create environments that they cannot live in. One treatment with us is all you will need to live pest free tomorrow.

One-Application Bed Bug Eradication — Bite-free the first night

Bed Bugs Are Back 2025 – News Update

Hi-Tech Pest Control • Michigan’s Bed Bug Specialists

You thought bed bugs were a 2020 problem, right? Wrong. 2025 is shaping up to be one of the busiest years ever for bed bug infestations in Detroit, Livonia, Troy, Warren, Sterling Heights, Bloomfield Twp, and Ann Arbor.

And no — you’re not imagining it. Bed bugs are back in a big way, and they’re practically laughing at weak treatments, poor hotel housekeeping, and DIY sprays that just chase them deeper into the walls.

Let’s break down why bed bugs are having their best year ever — and why Hi-Tech Pest Control is still their worst nightmare.

Reason #1: Warmer Temperatures

Michigan winters aren’t what they used to be. Warmer weather = bed bugs survive longer outdoors and stay active indoors year-round. Translation: they never really take a break anymore.

Reason #2: Poor Hotel Housekeeping

 

Hotel rooms are getting cleaned faster (translation: cut corners). Guests are checking out, beds barely stripped, and boom — you bring home a “free” souvenir in your suitcase.

Reason #3: Ineffective Treatments & Inexperienced Techs

With 94% of pest techs having less than 4 months of experience, many treatments fail. Customers get excuses (“it’s your clutter,” “someone brought them back”) instead of results.

Reason #4: Increased Travel

More people are on the move in 2025 — which means more bed bugs catching rides on luggage, clothing, and even pets.

Reason #5: Overpopulated Homes & Apartments

Shared housing, crowded apartments, and multi-family units are perfect for bed bug superhighways — they travel through walls, ceilings, and outlets into neighboring units.

Reason #6: Lack of Knowledge & Prevention

People still think bed bugs are caused by dirt or clutter. They wait too long, try DIY sprays, and let infestations mature before calling a professional.

Reason #7: Resistance to Common Products

Today’s bed bugs laugh at many over-the-counter sprays. The ban on DDT and old-school sulphur candles means fewer quick fixes — which is good for safety but bad if you’re looking for a “cheap and easy” solution.

The Bottom Line

Bed bugs are smarter, tougher, and busier than ever. But Hi-Tech Pest Control has 40+ years of experience, advanced equipment, and a proven one-application eradication program that ends infestations immediately — without excuses, furniture loss, or endless callbacks.

Q1: Are bed bugs actually getting worse in Michigan?

A: Yes — warmer temperatures, more travel, and resistant strains mean higher activity every year.

Q2: Do I have to throw away my furniture if I have bed bugs?

A: No! We treat, clean, and salvage all furniture so you don’t have to spend thousands replacing couches, beds, and recliners.

Q3: Why didn’t my last pest control company solve the problem?

A: Many companies use inexperienced technicians or ineffective products. We use proven methods with a 100% guarantee.

✅ What You Can Do

  • Inspect beds, couches, and recliners regularly for signs of activity.
  • Stop spraying DIY products — they scatter bed bugs, making things worse.
  • Call Hi-Tech Pest Control at the first sign of bites. The sooner we treat, the easier and cheaper it is to solve the problem.

📞 Call 248-569-8001 today — same-day service across Southeastern Michigan.

Q4: Can I get rid of bed bugs with store-bought sprays?

A: No. Most sprays just scatter them and make infestations worse. Professional treatment is the only reliable solution.

Q5: How fast can you get rid of them?

A: Our program eliminates bed bugs in one visit — you’ll be bite-free the same night.

Stop the Excuses: The Truth About Bed Bug Treatments That Don’t Work

“We called a company, they sprayed, we still got bitten.
They sprayed again, we still got bitten.
They said it’s because we had a chicken bone under the couch…”

Wait — what?

Hi-Tech Pest Control • Michigan’s Unparalleled Bed Bug Experts

If you’ve been fighting bed bugs for months and feel like you’re living in a nightmare sitcom, you’re not alone. Customers across Detroit, Livonia, Troy, Warren, Bloomfield Twp, Sterling Heights, and Ann Arbor tell us the same story:

The Excuses Are the Same Everywhere

Most customers experience this endless loop:

  • The technician says the problem is “clutter.”
  • You throw away a chair — still bites.
  • You throw away the couch — still bites.
  • Next thing you know, you’re sleeping on the floor or in the bathroom just to avoid bites.

Meanwhile, friends and relatives keep sitting on your “treated” couch… and keep getting bitten.

The Excuses Are the Same Everywhere

Here’s a scary truth: 94% of bed bug technicians have been in the industry less than 4 months.
Most are handed a script, told what to say, and have never completely eradicated bed bugs in their life.

Bed bugs are one of the hardest pests in the world to eliminate — it takes skill, knowledge, and experience. It’s not about “spraying something.” It’s about:

  • Inspecting every couch, recliner, bed, and room.
  • Knowing how far the bugs have spread.
  • Identifying the population size and how long they’ve been there.
  • Understanding if DIY sprays have already scattered them into walls.

Price Shopping Won’t Save You

We get it — nobody wants to overpay. But bed bug eradication isn’t like buying Farmer John’s chocolate milk at the grocery store where the cheaper carton is exactly the same as the expensive one.

Bed bug treatment is a service, not a product — and experience is what you’re really paying for.

Beware of marketing gimmicks, too-good-to-be-true “low-price specials,” and anyone promising magic sprays. If the explanation doesn’t make sense, or sounds like an excuse, it probably is.

Be Kind to Your Technician

Good technicians are under a lot of stress — driving all over Michigan, dealing with heavy infestations, and trying to save your furniture. A respectful approach can even help you work together on a excellent price.

How to Choose a Real Professional

  • Ask who will treat your home: Do they have years of experience?
  • Ask about results: Do they have a history of solving 100% of infestations?
  • Ask for clear steps: The process should make sense, not just sound like a sales pitch.

Look for integrity: Good communication, professional explanations, and honest expectations.

Bottom Line

If just anyone could do this, the entire country wouldn’t still be infested with bed bugs — and you wouldn’t have to check your hotel mattress every time you travel.

💡 Moral of the story:
Don’t settle for excuses. Don’t settle for half-measures.
Call the experts who actually eradicate bed bugs — once and for all.

Why DIY Bed Bug Removal Fails — And Why You Need a Professional Michigan’s #1 Bed Bug Exterminator | Hi-Tech Pest Control

Why DIY Bed Bug Removal Fails — And Why You Need a Professional Michigan’s #1 Bed Bug Exterminator | Hi-Tech Pest Control

Livonia mi Bed Bug Removal

Think You Can Solve Bed Bugs Yourself? Think Again.

Bed bug infestations are some of the most misunderstood and mishandled pest problems homeowners face. Most people assume that if bed bugs are isolated to one room—or just a mattress—they can solve the problem themselves with sprays, essential oils, or mattress covers.

But here’s the truth:
Even minor infestations are rarely just one-room problems, and the longer you wait or rely on DIY methods, the harder—and more expensive—the infestation becomes to eliminate.

At Hi-Tech Pest Control, we’ve seen it all—and we’re here to explain why DIY bed bug control almost always fails, and how professional inspections and treatments are the only true solution.

Why Are Bed Bugs So Hard to Get Rid Of?

1. The First Stage Is Deceptive

When you first notice bed bugs—maybe a few bites or a bug sighting in one room—it’s natural to think:

“Okay, they’re just in this room.”

But that’s a costly assumption.
By the time you spot live bed bugs, they’ve already spread to other rooms, especially if:

  • You sleep in different rooms
  • You’ve moved laundry, pillows, or furniture
  • Guests or pets have moved through the house

The “first stage” is usually already past containment.

2. DIY Sprays and Foggers Make It Worse

Over-the-counter sprays may kill a few surface bugs—but most bed bugs hide:

  • Inside wall voids
  • Under carpet edges
  • In electrical outlets
  • In seams of furniture and mattresses

DIY products are repellent-based, which means they push bugs deeper into your home—and make professional treatment more difficult.

Foggers (“bug bombs”) are completely ineffective and dangerous indoors.

3. You Don’t See the Full Infestation

Bed bugs hide 95% of the time.
So when a homeowner sees a couple bugs, there could be hundreds or thousands lurking where you can’t look:

  • Behind baseboards
  • Inside furniture joints
  • Beneath loose wallpaper
  • Under mattress tags

Without professional inspection, you’re only treating symptoms—not the source.

4. Furniture Type and Layout Matter

Certain types of furniture provide more harborage areas for bed bugs:

  • Tufted couches and chairs
  • Platform beds and wooden frames
  • Recliners, foldouts, futons, and sectionals

That’s why the best pest control companies conduct a full inspection to determine:

  • How many beds and sofas are in the home
  • What types of furniture are present
  • How many humans are available as food sources

This information determines the scope, severity, and custom treatment plan. Hi-Tech Pest Control Operators can solve them all.

5. There Are Levels of Infestation

Most people don’t know there are levels of bed bug infestations:

Stage

Description

Beginning Stage

Hard to detect, low activity, high potential to spread. Usually misdiagnosed or ignored.

Unhealthy Stage

High population, multiple rooms involved, severe bite reactions, property damage, and sleep disruption.

By the time most homeowners realize they have an infestation, they’re in the unhealthy stage—and DIY won’t work.

FAQ – DIY Bed Bug Control vs. Professional Treatment

Q: I’ve only seen a couple bugs—can I treat it myself?
A: Bed bugs hide well. Seeing a few usually means many more are present. DIY may suppress them temporarily, but it rarely eliminates them.

Q: What’s the danger of doing it myself?
A: Repellent sprays can scatter bugs into walls and furniture, making the infestation worse and harder to treat later.

Q: Can I use foggers or bombs?
A: No. Bed bug foggers are ineffective and often dangerous indoors. Professionals never use them.

Q: Why does furniture type matter?
A: Some furniture has deep seams, hollow legs, or tight fabric folds where bed bugs can hide. These need specialized treatments.

Q: Do you inspect everything before treating?
A: Yes. We inspect all rooms, furniture, and sleeping areas to understand the infestation’s true scale and tailor the treatment plan.
