When the lights go out and youâre dreaming of peaceful rest⌠the real party starts.
While youâre snuggled under your blanket, bed bugs are clocking in for their night shift â not to pay rent, but to feed, breed, and make your life miserable. If youâve been waking up with mysterious red welts or itchy spots, congratulations â youâve been invited to their midnight buffet.
Bed bugs are nocturnal freeloaders. They donât 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 â mattresses, headboards, couches, and recliners â 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 â the same kind of spaces youâd 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 âRomanticâ Life of Bed Bugs
Once full, they head back to their hiding spots to rest, digest, and â believe it or not â 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 donât waste time swiping left â they get right to multiplying.
4. Youâre 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 thatâs not all â moving comforters and blankets from the bed to the couch gives them frequent-flyer miles. Each time you sit down, theyâre 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 â thatâs their GPS system.
You canât 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 â no repeated visits, no false promises. We save your furniture and your sanity, so you can finally sleep knowing no oneâs throwing a party under your blanket.

(Serving Livonia, Bloomfield Twp, Troy, Warren, Detroit, and all Southeastern Michigan)
When it comes to bed bugs, most homeowners accidentally become their best friends â not their worst enemies. Understanding what to do and what not to do can make the difference between a few itchy nights and a full-blown infestation that takes over your furniture, your sanity, and your guest list.
1. Wash your bedding regularly.
The average homeowner changes their bed clothes every three months (yes, really!). Unfortunately, that gives bed bugs plenty of time to feed, breed, and set up base camp. Wash your sheets, pillowcases, blankets, and comforters weekly in hot water and dry them on the highest heat setting.
2. Vacuum thoroughly and often.
2. Vacuum thoroughly and often. Bed bugs love clutter, carpets, and couch crevices. Vacuuming removes bed bug eggs and nymphs before they mature. Focus on mattress seams, box springs, couches, recliners, and along baseboards.
3. Bag and wash clothing immediately after travel or visits.
If youâve stayed in hotels, visited friends, or had company over, toss your clothing straight into the wash when you get home. Donât give hitchhikers a free ride to your couch.
4. Call a professional exterminator immediately.
Bed bugs are not a DIY project. One wrong move can send them scattering throughout your house. The experts at Hi-Tech Pest Control eliminate bed bugs in one guaranteed treatment without damaging your furniture or home.
đŤ The Donâts of Bed Bug Infestations
1. Donât use general-use insecticides or alcohol without vacuuming first.
Spraying without cleaning is a mistake. Youâll only drive the bed bugs deeper into your furniture, walls, and floors â and spread them faster than ever.
2. Donât move your bedding or comforters to the couch or recliner.
Bed bugs will follow your blankets to their new home â and now youâve given them a second home base.
3. Donât let visitors sit on your furniture if you have bed bugs.
They have a 12% chance of taking them home. Be honest â itâs better to warn them than to start an epidemic.
4. Donât sit on your furniture and then visit friends and relatives.
If youâve had bed bugs, donât share them. Advise your visitors to remove and wash their clothes before sitting or lying on beds and couches in their own homes.
5. Donât rely on foggers, âbed bug bombs,â or online miracle sprays.
Foggers and store-bought products donât reach the hidden nests in furniture or wall cracks. They simply make the infestation worse. Professionals use advanced, industrial-grade equipment to completely eliminate bed bugs in one treatment.
Pro Tip:
When bed bugs infest your furniture, theyâre not just biting â theyâre breeding. Each female lays 200â500 eggs in her lifetime. DIY methods may slow them down, but only professional extermination stops them for good.

Hi-Tech Pest Control â Michiganâs #1 Bed Bug Exterminator
If thereâs one pest thatâs humbled both homeowners and exterminators alike, itâs the bed bug. Letâs face it â bed bugs are among the most difficult pests in the world to eradicate, and unfortunately, thereâs a lot of misrepresentation online about what actually kills them.
Walk into any home improvement store and youâll find shelves full of sprays, foggers, and âbed bug killersâ promising miracles in a can. But hereâs the truth: Most of those DIY and over-the-counter products donât have the residual power, penetration, or impact needed to solve even a mild infestation â and in many cases, they make the problem worse.
When bed bugs are your opponent, youâre not in a fair fight. Letâs break down the biggest DIY myths â and why calling Hi-Tech Pest Control is your best option for one-treatment, complete eradication.
đ¨ #1: Foggers â The Worst Offense Against Bed Bugs
Weâll start with the most popular mistake: fogging.
Foggers and âbug bombsâ have been around forever, and while they may make you feel like youâre fighting back, theyâre one of the worst ways to handle a bed bug infestation.
Why? Because fogging only kills what it touches in open air â maybe a spider on a wall or a centipede on the floor â but bed bugs donât 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 â spreading them further and making eradication much more difficult.
Result: Youâve now successfully trained your bed bugs to hide better and resist future treatments.
If youâve already fogged, donât panic â but itâs time to bring in professionals who use industrial-grade equipment designed to reach those deep, hidden nesting sites.
đ Learn more about our Professional Bed Bug Treatments that completely eradicate infestations in just one visit.
â¨ď¸ #2: Steam â Good for Clothes, Bad for Bed Bugs
Steam is another popular âDIY fixâ youâll see recommended online. Sure, it kills some bed bugs on contact, but it also creates more moisture â and thatâs 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 bugsâ bodies until they dry out and die.
But if you raise humidity levels or steam furniture, youâre feeding them the very thing they need â water. Youâll kill a few, warm up the rest, and help the survivors thrive.
As we like to say around here:
âYouâll give them hot behinds but theyâll thank you later for the drink.â
So skip the steam and let the professionals use the proper balance of drying agents, precision insecticides, and controlled applications.
đ§ #3: Dusts, Sprays, and Aerosols â Little Impact, Big Problems
Thereâs no shortage of aerosol cans and dusts claiming to âkill bed bugs on contact.â But hereâs the truth â 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 donât reach eggs, nymphs, or hidden adults.
Even worse, bed bugs quickly develop resistance to common store-bought formulations. Once that happens, your next treatment â even a professional one â becomes more challenging.

𧰠The Truth: Professional Equipment and Experience Are Non-Negotiable
DIY treatments donât fail because homeowners donât try â they fail because bed bugs are survivors.
Theyâve evolved thicker exoskeletons, developed pesticide resistance, and found creative new ways to hide. Thatâs why industrial-grade equipment, proper formulations, and experienced application techniques are essential.
At Hi-Tech Pest Control, weâve 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 â guaranteed.
đ 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 â and customers lose trust.
Hi-Tech Pest Controlâs mission is to change that â one successful, furniture-saving, one-treatment job at a time.
Our team is proud to say:
âWe donât leave until the bed bugs do.â
If youâre tired of wasting money on sprays, foggers, and miracle promises â đ Contact Hi-Tech Pest Control today and let Michiganâs #1 Bed Bug Exterminator solves it right the first time.
â Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Why donât 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 â 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 donât 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 â from eggs to adults â in one treatment.
Q5: Will Hi-Techâs treatment really work in one visit?
A: Yes. Our proven methods and precision application eliminate bed bugs completely in a single treatment â guaranteed.
Letâs be honest â talking about bed bugs isnât anyoneâs favorite conversation. But when you finally decide to call Hi-Tech Pest Control, honesty isnât just the best policy â itâs the only policy that guarantees your home will be pest-free and your sanity restored.
Communication, after all, is one of mankindâs greatest inventions. But it only works if we both use it correctly. That means talking and listening. So when your inspector asks a few questions about where youâve seen bed bugs, how long itâs been happening, and how severe things might be â thatâs not small talk. Thatâs the key to solving the problem quickly, efficiently, and in one treatment.
đŁď¸ Talk Straight â Bed Bugs Canât Be Fooled
Hereâs the truth: sitting on a couch covered with bed bugs and saying, âTheyâre only in one room,â doesnât fool the professionals⌠or the bugs. Weâve seen it all â the âjust one roomâ story, the âthey just started last weekâ story, even the âtheyâre probably gone by nowâ story. But guess what? Bed Bugs donât lie, and they definitely donât leave politely.
Being honest about whatâs happening doesnât raise your price â it raises our efficiency. We donât judge, we donât criticize â we solve problems. Whether the infestation started two weeks ago or two years ago, our goal is to eliminate every last one.
Honesty Helps the Process Move Faster
When you share all the details â how often youâre getting bites, where youâve seen them, if youâve sprayed anything, or if you sometimes fall asleep in your office chair â it helps us zero in on the true hotspots.
Our bed bug inspectors are trained to forage like the bugs themselves â checking secondary and tertiary hiding places. If youâve been using alcohol, foggers, or diatomaceous earth, let us know! That information tells us that the bed bugs have probably scattered into deep cracks, furniture joints, or baseboard gaps.
Don’t worry regardless we will have you pest free in one treatment. Hiding the severity only slows us down â and the bed bugs love it. Donât let them laugh at us (or you).
đ Donât Be Shy â Weâve Seen It All
Youâd be surprised how many people whisper about their âlittle problemâ like theyâre confessing to a crime. Trust us â nothing shocks us anymore.
Weâve treated homes, businesses, hotels, movie theaters, and even a limousine (yes, really). Bed bugs donât discriminate â they follow humans, not habits. So thereâs no reason to feel embarrassed or hide information.
We can only eliminate what we know about. Be open, be honest, and watch us do what we do best â kill every bed bug in one visit.
Why Honesty Doesnât Affect Pricing
At Hi-Tech Pest Control, we donât base our prices on:
How clean or cluttered your house is
What kind of car you drive
Or how you sound on the phone
We base our pricing on facts:
How many beds, couches, and recliners you have
How many humans live in the home (bed bugs always eat where people are)
The size and layout of the home
The population level of the infestation
In other words â the more we know upfront, the faster and more affordable your treatment can be.
đŹ Communication Is Key
Our team takes every inspection seriously. When we ask, âHow long have you noticed bites?â or âHave you treated anything yet?â weâre not trying to upsell you â weâre trying to understand the full picture.
Even if youâve been battling bed bugs for months with sprays, powders, or general-use products, tell us. That history helps us know how far theyâve traveled and what kind of population weâre dealing with.
Remember: communication isnât just talking â itâs listening, too. If we ask questions, itâs because every detail helps ensure your home is bed bug-free the first time.
Hi-Techâs Promise
Our inspectors and technicians are not there to judge your home â theyâre there to end your infestation. We treat every customer with respect, professionalism, and understanding. Weâve built our reputation over 40 years by being honest, thorough, and dedicated to results â not repeat visits.

â Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Will being honest about my infestation raise my price?
A: Absolutely not. The more we know, the faster we can solve your problem â and possibly save you money by avoiding unnecessary treatments.
Q2: Should I tell the inspector if Iâve already sprayed or used powders?
A: Yes! That information helps us find where the bed bugs migrated and ensures your treatment is customized for success.
Q3: Can bed bugs hide in office chairs and recliners?
A: Definitely. If you sometimes sleep or sit in those areas, tell us â it helps us target secondary hiding spots.
Q4: What happens if Iâm not honest during the inspection?
A: Bed bugs will win â temporarily. Withholding information only delays results and may require extra time to locate all infestations.
Q5: How long does it take to get rid of them?
A: With Hi-Techâs one-treatment system, most infestations are eliminated the same day â no repeat visits, no guesswork, no excuses.
Hi-Tech Pest Control â Michiganâs #1 Bed Bug Exterminator
When you think of bed bugs, you probably picture fully grown adults crawling across a mattress. But the real danger is often hidden just beneath the surface â literally. Bed bug nymphs, the immature stages of these pests, are smaller, lighter in color, and masters at squeezing through and under the cloth seams of older mattresses, recliners, pillows, and upholstered chairs.
They donât just hide â they mature beneath the fabric, making them harder to detect, remove, and eradicate. By the time most homeowners notice bites, dozens or even hundreds of nymphs have already hatched and fed multiple times.
If youâre waking up with unexplained bites, learn how to identify early signs on our Bed Bug Identification Guide.
Many homeowners donât realize that recliners, couches, and cloth chairs are often the true source of recurring infestations. Nymphs hide under the upholstery, inside seams, around frames, and in zipper folds.
And one material in particular is a favorite: Herculon fabric â commonly used in recliners and couches for its durability.
Why Herculon Makes Things Worse
Its porous weave allows tiny nymphs to pass through the fibers and live between the fabric and padding.
It provides warm, dark crevices ideal for bed bug development.
Nymphs and adults leave behind fecal deposits that cause visible stains and discoloration, a tell-tale sign of infestation.
If your furniture shows dark stains or has been dismissed as âunsalvageableâ by others, call us first â we specialize in Furniture Salvage Bed Bug Treatments.
The Secret Life of Bed Bug Nymphs
Bed bug nymphs are translucent beige, nearly invisible against light fabrics. They molt five times before reaching adulthood, needing a blood meal between each stage.
During that time, theyâll:
Crawl beneath the fabric surface of old mattresses, pillows, and recliners.
Hide under tufted seams, loose stitching, or holes and tears in furniture.
Feed and mature unseen for weeks.
Learn more about our Bed Bug Treatment Process and how we stop every life stage from egg to adult.
Donât Throw Everything Away â Wash It Right
Panic is common when homeowners realize they have bed bugs â but donât start dragging furniture to the curb. Most items can be salvaged with proper cleaning and professional treatment.
For linens, comforters, blankets, and pillows:
Wash in hot water (minimum 120°F / 49°C).
Dry on the highest heat setting for at least 30â45 minutes.
Avoid âdry onlyâ cycles â heat + agitation are what kill all life stages.
Read our Bed Bug Preparation Guide for more cleaning and prevention tips.
Why DIY Doesnât Work
General-use insecticides and alcohol sprays rarely penetrate hidden layers or seams. They may kill exposed bugs but drive survivors deeper into furniture. Meanwhile, the nymphs keep feeding and maturing below the surface.
Thatâs why so many people say, âI thought I got rid of them â and they came back.â They didnât come back. You just never reached them.
See our blog: Why DIY Bed Bug Treatments Fail to learn why one wrong product can make the infestation worse.

â Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can bed bugs live inside mattresses and couches?
A: Yes. Especially older furniture, where seams are loose or torn. Bed bug nymphs often live under the fabric itself, feeding and maturing undetected. Learn more on our Bed Bug FAQ page.
Q2: What is Herculon material, and why is it a problem?
A: Herculon is a woven synthetic fabric used in recliners and couches. Its porous fibers let nymphs pass through and hide beneath the surface â perfect for infestation.
Q3: Should I throw away my furniture?
A: No. Hi-Tech Pest Control salvages furniture safely. We eliminate bed bugs from inside recliners, couches, and mattresses with one professional treatment.
Q4: Does washing bedding really help?
A: Absolutely â if you wash and dry on high heat. Drying alone isnât enough. Use hot water first, then heat dry for at least 30 minutes.
Q5: Why canât sprays or foggers fix the problem?
A: They only kill what they touch. Bed bug nymphs under fabric layers and in crevices survive and keep multiplying. See Why DIY Fails.
