Bed Bug Identification

Early Bed-Bug Detection is Essential

Not sure if it's bed bugs? Because they are nocturnal and elusive, they often go unseen until the infestation has grown. Our licensed team specializes in bed bug detection, elimination, and prevention for homes and businesses throughout Metro Detroit.

Don't Wait.

Bed bugs can lay up to 5 eggs per day. A small problem today can become a crisis in just two weeks.

Signs You May Have Bed Bugs

Look for these three primary indicators


  • Bite Patterns: Small, red, itchy welts often appearing in a straight line or "zigzag" pattern on arms, legs, or back.
  • Spotting: Tiny dark brown or black spots located on mattress seams, headboards, or baseboards.
  • Physical Evidence: Translucent shed skins or the bugs themselves (roughly the size and shape of an apple seed).
Most bed bug infestations are misidentified by homeowners. A professional inspection is the only way to be 100% sure.

"Darnell was very knowledgeable and explained the process and how long it would take to see progress. He did point out key areas to stop the mice infestation and where they were nest at. We sealed off the areas decluttered where he suggested and we haven't seen anything in over six months. The monthly package is money well spent. Bye bye mice and spiders. 10/10 highly recommend."

"We’ve used several pest control companies over the years, but Darnell with Certified Pest Elimination is the one we keep coming back to. Living on the water, spiders basically make our house their summer home, and we were constantly battling them. Since Darnell started treating our home, we haven’t had a single spider inside! Not only are his treatments incredibly effective, but Darnell is also friendly, professional, reliable, and genuinely cares about doing a great job. It’s such a relief knowing our home is protected, especially during spider season. If you’re looking for a pest control company that actually delivers results, I highly recommend Certified Pest Elimination. Five stars all the way!"

"We called Certified Pest Elimination Company after trying a few store bought solutions that did nothing. They inspected the house, found where the insects were coming from, and treated both inside and outside. The technician was very thorough and took his time to make sure everything was covered. We haven’t seen any insects since. The service was professional, affordable, and definitely worth it. Great company to work with!"

I can say with confidence that I am the only one on my street that doesn't have giant spiders in every corner of my garage, front porch or back patio.

"So a customer of mine recommended a very brand new company that deals with any type of Pest Control. After being taken advantage of and used for the money, my owner of the restaurant provided with other companies they never kept their promise once they had their money they stopped coming and fix the issue. Mine gave me a card of a friend of a friend and we hired him and within less than a month our issues was taken care of plus he’s promised if the entire issue was not gone within 12 months then he will make sure it’s taken care of past our contact Promise. Which we don’t have to worry about that because the issue has been solved. I gives this Entrepreneur at such a young age 5 stars!!! Thank you Darnell for everything at our restaurant and at my personal home!!"

"After some recent trouble getting one of the larger pest control companies to come out, or even call us back, we called CPE. Darnell was able to fit us in quickly, and came out the same day. He was on time, and very professional. His efforts to explain our situation, and the proposed solution, were much appreciated. We have had other companies spray in the past, but he recommended baiting, and his explanation of why made a lot of sense. Shortly after baiting the kitchen, he was able to show me that the ants were already feasting on it. We expected that to start showing results within a few days. Surprisingly, the next morning, we were already seeing dead ants in the areas of the bait. It's taking a little longer in the bathroom, but the ants are definitely taking the bait. I expect we'll see similar results there soon. It was clear that Darnell cared about resolving our problem, and that he has a deep knowledge of his trade. He's also fun to talk to. If you want good service, and honesty about your situation, call CPE. You won't be disappointed."

I even got to watch as the ants immediately grabbed the bait taking it into their nests to their own demise!!! Darnell is professional and a great person. He teaches his clients about the nature of the pests, why they’re in your home, and most importantly how to get rid of them in an environmentally safe manner. Overall, A+++ Thank you so much for removing the ants and spiders. I highly recommend Darnell!"

FAQs

Common Questions About Bed Bug Treatment

Everything you need to know about our Detroit bed bug elimination services.

You may see bed bugs for up to 10 - 14 days after treatment.  This is normal and will be addressed during the follow-up.

ALL clothing that has been placed within a clear bag MUST BE EITHER DRIED ON SITE, TAKEN TO A CLEANERS, OR LAUNDRY MAT for drying purposes at a high temperature for at least 35 - 40 minutes. This will kill any and all stages of bed bugs that may be on the clothing.

ALL items of concern have either been placed within a clear plastic bag or inside a clear tote. Because the UNIT is being prepped that means it will be rearranged. So, when returning to your residence make sure you inspect every tote and clear trash bag before a complaint of theft is submitted.

* We take pictures before and after all preparation/treatment services to ensure the safety of your items.

After treatment it is the responsibility of the tenant to put their unit back after treatment has been rendered.  In cases where the tenant is unable to put their unit back together, we will come out to assist at no extra cost.

YES, we only ask that you keep the lid on after retrieving your item(s).

The Totes have been treated and keeping it closed will help kill any bed bugs that may have been packed away unnoticed!

Yes. Our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach utilizes advanced baiting systems that are virtually odorless, have low toxicity to non-targeted animals, and produce no airborne particles.

For the vast majority of our services (Ants, Spiders, Rodents, Wasps), you do not need to leave your home. You can simply hang out in a different room while we work. The only exceptions are specialized treatments like full-home Bed Bug Heat Remediation or certain heavy-infestation Roach clean-outs, where we will provide you with a clear schedule in advance.

We pride ourselves on fast local response times. Most standard service requests are fulfilled within 24–48 hours. For urgent issues like an active hornet’s nest near an entrance or a sudden bed bug discovery, we offer emergency same-day or next-day priority scheduling.

If you are not completely satisfied with a regular treatment, we will return to re-treat the area at no additional cost. Should issues persist, we will continue to work until resolved, or refund your last monthly payment, provided that established maintenance and sanitation requirements are met.

Invoices are sent on the first of each month and are due upon receipt.
