A: Those who witnessed intense reactions while young are more likely to develop the same fear response.

When the lights go out and youβre dreaming of peaceful restβ¦ the real party starts.
While youβre snuggled under your blanket, bed bugs are clocking in for their night shift β not to pay rent, but to feed, breed, and make your life miserable. If youβve been waking up with mysterious red welts or itchy spots, congratulations β youβve been invited to their midnight buffet.
Bed bugs are nocturnal freeloaders. They donβt punch a time clock, but most of them become active between 1 A.M. and 5 A.M., when body heat, carbon dioxide, and human odor reach peak levels. They sense warmth like radar-guided vampires and crawl out of their hiding spots β mattresses, headboards, couches, and recliners β to enjoy an all-you-can-eat blood meal.
2. Their Hiding Spots Are Closer Than You Think
By day, bed bugs stay undercover like secret agents. They hide in mattress seams, furniture joints, behind picture frames, and even in electrical outlets. They prefer tight, dark cracks β the same kind of spaces youβd never think to clean.
Think your couch is safe? Think again. Bed bugs love recliners and chairs because you sit still long enough for them to dine in peace.
3. The βRomanticβ Life of Bed Bugs
Once full, they head back to their hiding spots to rest, digest, and β believe it or not β reproduce. A single female bed bug can lay 200 to 500 eggs in her short lifetime. So if you saw one bug last month, you could easily have hundreds by now. Bed bugs donβt waste time swiping left β they get right to multiplying.
4. Youβre Helping the Party Without Knowing It
The average homeowner changes bed sheets every 3 months (yes, really!). Bed bugs love that. They thrive in warm, stable environments where humans provide consistent meals.
And thatβs not all β moving comforters and blankets from the bed to the couch gives them frequent-flyer miles. Each time you sit down, theyβre boarding a new flight to another room in your home.
5. Why Your Warmth Is a 5-Star Attraction
Turning on that heated blanket or thermostat when temperatures drop? You just made your bed a Michelin-rated destination. Bed bugs are drawn to warmth, carbon dioxide, and human scent β thatβs their GPS system.
You canβt outsmart them with store sprays, alcohol, or foggers. Bed bugs will simply relocate deeper into your furniture, walls, and baseboards. The only proven way to stop them is professional extermination by trained specialists.
At Hi-Tech Pest Control, we eliminate bed bugs completely in one guaranteed treatment β no repeated visits, no false promises. We save your furniture and your sanity, so you can finally sleep knowing no oneβs throwing a party under your blanket.

Hi-Tech Pest Control β Michiganβs #1 Bed Bug Exterminator
If thereβs one pest thatβs humbled both homeowners and exterminators alike, itβs the bed bug. Letβs face it β bed bugs are among the most difficult pests in the world to eradicate, and unfortunately, thereβs a lot of misrepresentation online about what actually kills them.
Walk into any home improvement store and youβll find shelves full of sprays, foggers, and βbed bug killersβ promising miracles in a can. But hereβs the truth: Most of those DIY and over-the-counter products donβt have the residual power, penetration, or impact needed to solve even a mild infestation β and in many cases, they make the problem worse.
When bed bugs are your opponent, youβre not in a fair fight. Letβs break down the biggest DIY myths β and why calling Hi-Tech Pest Control is your best option for one-treatment, complete eradication.
π¨ #1: Foggers β The Worst Offense Against Bed Bugs
Weβll start with the most popular mistake: fogging.
Foggers and βbug bombsβ have been around forever, and while they may make you feel like youβre fighting back, theyβre one of the worst ways to handle a bed bug infestation.
Why? Because fogging only kills what it touches in open air β maybe a spider on a wall or a centipede on the floor β but bed bugs donβt live in open air. They hide inside furniture joints, behind baseboards, under fabrics, inside couches, recliners, bed frames, and even inside electronics.
When a fogger goes off, the aerosolized insecticide creates pressure and drives the bed bugs deeper into hiding β spreading them further and making eradication much more difficult.
Result: Youβve now successfully trained your bed bugs to hide better and resist future treatments.
If youβve already fogged, donβt panic β but itβs time to bring in professionals who use industrial-grade equipment designed to reach those deep, hidden nesting sites.

β¨οΈ #2: Steam β Good for Clothes, Bad for Bed Bugs
Steam is another popular βDIY fixβ youβll see recommended online. Sure, it kills some bed bugs on contact, but it also creates more moisture β and thatβs the exact opposite of what you want.
Remember: everything that lives, including bed bugs, needs moisture to survive. One of the most effective supplemental treatments we use is a desiccant dust, which absorbs moisture from the bugsβ bodies until they dry out and die.
But if you raise humidity levels or steam furniture, youβre feeding them the very thing they need β water. Youβll kill a few, warm up the rest, and help the survivors thrive.
As we like to say around here:
βYouβll give them hot behinds but theyβll thank you later for the drink.β
So skip the steam and let the professionals use the proper balance of drying agents, precision insecticides, and controlled applications.
π§ #3: Dusts, Sprays, and Aerosols β Little Impact, Big Problems
Thereβs no shortage of aerosol cans and dusts claiming to βkill bed bugs on contact.β But hereβs the truth β they may kill a few on contact, but the rest of the colony will remain untouched.
Bed bugs nest in areas that are impossible for homeowners to reach, like:
Inside box spring seams
Under mattress ropes
Deep in recliners and couch joints
Behind wall plates and baseboards
Household dusts and sprays lack penetration power and residual effect, meaning they donβt reach eggs, nymphs, or hidden adults.
Even worse, bed bugs quickly develop resistance to common store-bought formulations. Once that happens, your next treatment β even a professional one β becomes more challenging.

π§° The Truth: Professional Equipment and Experience Are Non-Negotiable
DIY treatments donβt fail because homeowners donβt try β they fail because bed bugs are survivors.
Theyβve evolved thicker exoskeletons, developed pesticide resistance, and found creative new ways to hide. Thatβs why industrial-grade equipment, proper formulations, and experienced application techniques are essential.
At Hi-Tech Pest Control, weβve spent over 40 years mastering bed bug eradication. Our technicians use:
Specialized injectors and nozzles for deep crevice penetration
Precision equipment that targets harborages, not open air
EPA-registered products with long residual protection
And unlike others who rely on repeat visits, we eliminate bed bugs in one treatment β guaranteed.
π Why One Treatment Matters
The entire world is struggling with bed bug reinfestations because of ineffective, repeat treatments that never fully solve the problem. When infestations linger, populations rebuild β and customers lose trust.
Hi-Tech Pest Controlβs mission is to change that β one successful, furniture-saving, one-treatment job at a time.
Our team is proud to say:
βWe donβt leave until the bed bugs do.β
If youβre tired of wasting money on sprays, foggers, and miracle promises β π Contact Hi-Tech Pest Control today and let Michiganβs #1 Bed Bug Exterminator solves it right the first time.
β Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Why donβt foggers work on bed bugs?
A: Foggers only kill pests exposed to the air. Bed bugs hide deep in furniture and walls, so foggers only drive them deeper β spreading the infestation.
Q2: Is steam an effective method for bed bugs?
A: No. Steam adds moisture, which helps bed bugs survive. Professional treatments use desiccant dusts that dry them out completely.
Q3: Are store-bought sprays safe to use?
A: Most are safe for humans but ineffective for bed bugs. They lack residual and donβt penetrate hiding spots.
Q4: Why is professional treatment necessary?
A: Industrial equipment, experience, and specialized products are the only reliable way to reach all life stages β from eggs to adults β in one treatment.
Q5: Will Hi-Techβs treatment really work in one visit?
A: Yes. Our proven methods and precision application eliminate bed bugs completely in a single treatment β guaranteed.

Where are bed bugs worst? In the U.S.
Every year, pest firms publish βworst citiesβ lists based on treatment data. In 2025, Chicago landed #1 again, followed by Cleveland and Detroit rounding out the top three. (We love you, Detroitβcall us, weβll help.)
Bonus: New York dropped to #15 in 2025βproof 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 riseβthough not as much as the panic suggested. Australia documented a huge multi-year resurgence, too. PMC+5Reuters+5TIME+5
βWhat about big destinationsβDisney World, Kalahari, Las Vegas?β
Large hospitality brands (theme parks, mega-resorts, indoor-waterpark hotels, Strip propertiesβyou 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? Yesβanywhere 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: Thereβs 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 βcrisisβ?
After a mid-20th-century decline, bed bugs resurged in the late 1990sβ2000s worldwideβdriven by travel and resistanceβand theyβve stayed stubborn ever since. Public-health and research groups have tracked this trend for decades. PMC+2BioMed Central+2
What actually works (and what doesnβt)
Works: Professional, evidence-based IPM: precise inspections, targeted treatments, follow-up verification, and customer education. Thatβs why hotels and smart homeowners use it. National Pest Management Association
Doesnβt (well): Random sprays, βmiracle gadgets,β and wishful thinking. Resistance and hiding behavior mean youβll miss the majority of the population. BioMed Central
π Tiny laughs, big truths
Bed bugs donβt care if your hotel has a lazy river or a monorail. Theyβre here for the all-you-can-eat human buffet.
A: Noβthereβs a global resurgence tied to travel and resistance. Paris, London, Australian cities, U.S. metrosβyouβll find headlines everywhere. Reuters+2TIME+2
Q: Do βfancyβ hotels or theme-park resorts avoid bed bugs?
A: They work hard to prevent them with daily inspections and rapid response, but zero risk isnβt realistic anywhere humans sleep. Thatβs 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 DIYΒ methods fail and spreads bugs further. Professional IPM hits all life stages and harborages. BioMed Central
Hi-Tech Pest Control β Michiganβs #1 Bed Bug Exterminator
Bed bugsare still on the rise in Farmington Hills, Michigan, creating havoc in apartments, condos, assisted living facilities, and single-family homes. These blood-feeding pests donβt discriminate β they infest anywhere humans live, sleep, or relax.
Most infestations go unchecked for months because of lack of knowledge and inability to identify early warning signs. By the time residents start seeing bed bugs or feeling bites, the infestation has already spread β often to friends, relatives, or other living spaces.
Bed bugs donβt just appear β they travel. One of the leading causes of new infestations is human movement and travel. Vacationers returning from Las Vegas, Disneyland, Paris, Kalahari Resorts, and even local hotels or motels unknowingly bring bed bugs home in luggage, purses, and clothing.
Unfortunately, many hotels and resorts no longer report infestations to bed bug registries, meaning travelers donβt receive warnings before they stay. This allows bed bugs to spread silently, increasing local infestations across Farmington Hills and Southeastern Michigan.
Early Detection Is Critical
The first sign of a bed bug problem is often bites on the upper body, arms, or neck. Bed bugs are attracted to body heat and carbon dioxide, feeding while you sleep.
If you wake up with itchy welts or see small blood spots on your sheets, take it seriously β early intervention is the key to avoiding a full-blown infestation.
Once bed bugs start reproducing, they spread quickly to:
Couches and recliners
Headboards and mattresses
Dining room chairs and carpet edges
Clothing, backpacks, and handbags
Even a small apartment or assisted living unit can support thousands of bed bugs if left untreated.
