Michigan’s Unparalleled Bed Bug & Pest Control — Hi-Tech Pest Control
Cold weather may chase us indoors, but it doesn’t slow bed bugs—if anything, it helps them. Movie nights on the couch, WFH on the recliner, and that toasty electric blanket all add up to more feeding opportunities. Across Livonia, Bloomfield Twp, Troy, Warren, Detroit, Sterling Heights, and Ann Arbor, winter is prime time for bed bug flare-ups.
Electric Blankets: The Bed Bug Beacon
Electric blankets don’t “cause” bed bugs, but the extra warmth makes you easier to find. Add heavier bedding and layered pajamas, and you’ve created the coziest signal a hungry bed bug could ask for.
When Winter Makes Bed Bugs Happy
We spend more time on recliners, couches, dining chairs, and beds during the cold months. Bed bugs cue to body heat and CO₂, so longer sit-times = easier meals. Populations grow, and what starts in one room can spread fast.
Why Waiting Makes It Worse
Give an infestation 2–3 months and it matures—more bites, more eggs, more rooms. Bed bugs can reach another room in about a week, especially in connected living spaces.
What You Can Do Right Now (Fast Action Plan)
- Launder & dry on high heat: Wash at ~140°F and dry 30–60 minutes.
- Vacuum deliberately: Mattresses, couch seams, recliners, baseboards; discard vacuum bags outdoors.
- Declutter: Fewer hiding places = better results.
• • Skip scatter tactics: Random sprays and foggers push bugs deeper into walls and outlets.
Do bed bugs get worse in the winter?
Yes. Heated homes keep them active, and we spend more time seated or in bed—so they feed more often and populations rise.
Can I get rid of bed bugs myself?
DIY sprays and foggers usually scatter bugs into walls and other rooms. Professional whole-home treatment is the fastest, most reliable solution.
