Shields, MI's Discreet Bed Bug Elimination Team

K9 inspection or a trained visual inspection can distinguish bed bugs from carpet beetles or other look-alikes with high accuracy — bite marks alone aren't reliable confirmation.

Both methods work; the right choice depends on infestation size, budget, and whether you need same-day elimination.

Yes — bed bugs travel through wall voids, electrical conduits, and shared furniture, which is why multi-unit buildings need coordinated treatment.

Usually not — certified encasements combined with treatment can save a mattress rather than requiring replacement.

We can arrive in an unmarked vehicle and keep the visit low-profile on request, which matters for renters and multi-unit residents.

Verification isn't optional in our process — a follow-up check confirms elimination before we consider the job done. We always recommend a quick visual check of hotel luggage racks and secondhand furniture, since prevention is far easier than treatment.
