Bed Bug & Pest Inspection in Genesee County & Mid-Michigan
Brian Pratt personally provides comprehensive bed bug and pest inspections across Genesee, Oakland, Saginaw, and surrounding Michigan counties. With 16 years of commercial experience, Brian inspects every harborage point—mattress seams, box springs, headboards, and trim—to accurately confirm or rule out bed bugs with zero high-pressure sales tactics.
What Brian Checks During a Professional Inspection
Bed bugs are nocturnal, secretive insects measuring just 4 to 5 millimeters. In early-stage infestations, they do not roam in plain sight. They hide tightly in micro-crevices within 5 to 8 feet of sleeping areas.
Brian conducts a methodical physical search using specialized high-intensity inspection lights and magnification tools to identify live insects, shed skins (exuviae), fecal spotting, and viable pearl-white eggs.
Mattress & Bedding Seams
Piping, tags, corner guards, box spring undersides, and dust covers.
Bed Frames & Headboards
Screw holes, joints, slat holders, and wall mounting brackets.
Baseboards & Trim
Gaps between baseboard and flooring, carpet tack strips, and crown molding.
Upholstery & Nightstands
Recliners, couch cushions, drawer slides, and electrical faceplates.
Distinguishing Bed Bugs from Other Pests
A substantial percentage of our inspection calls turn out NOT to be bed bugs. Carpet beetle larvae, bat bugs, bird mites, booklice, and flea infestations are frequently misdiagnosed by homeowners and inexperienced exterminators.
Brian's Honest Diagnostic Promise
If you don't have bed bugs, Brian will tell you clearly and show you the evidence. We will never sell you an expensive bed bug treatment for a harmless carpet beetle or an unrelated skin irritation.
Real Estate & Rental Tenant Transitions
We frequently assist Michigan landlords, property managers, real estate investors, and tenants moving into rental homes across Flint, Grand Blanc, Rochester, and Saginaw. A proactive inspection provides documentary proof of pest-free status and prevents multi-unit cross contamination.
