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.
