Discreet bed bug inspection and treatment for Midlands homes, rentals and hospitality.
Thoroughness decides the outcome with this pest, because a single missed harborage point rebuilds the population.
Bed bugs hide in seams, screw holes, baseboards, outlet housings and furniture joints, places a surface treatment never reaches. Miss one harborage point and the population comes back from it.
They also have nothing to do with cleanliness. Bed bugs travel on luggage, used furniture, backpacks and shared walls. Spotless homes get them, and our technicians handle the work discreetly for exactly that reason.
Years of Local Service
local & Family-Owned Since 1955
Modern Exterminating has been the longest-standing, local and family-owned pest control company serving the area since 1955. Now in its third generation, the company runs by a simple standard, a PHD in customer care: professional, honest, and dependable, on every visit.
Confirm the infestation, map how far it has spread, treat the harborage directly, and come back for the eggs that hatch afterward.
We inspect the rooms where people sleep and the adjacent spaces, confirm the infestation, and map how far it has spread.

In multi-family buildings we assess whether neighboring units are involved, because that changes the plan.
3
Treatment applied directly to harborage points rather than sprayed across surfaces, by licensed technicians.
4
Follow-up is built in. Eggs resist treatment and hatch after the first application, so a second visit is planned.
Modern Exterminating stands behind every visit. If a problem returns within a reasonable time after treatment, we come back and address it at no extra charge.
Quick answers on how to tell it is bed bugs, where they actually hide, and how they got into the house in the first place.
Bites in lines or clusters noticed in the morning, rust-coloured spots on sheets, dark fecal spotting along mattress seams, and shed skins from molting.
Mattress and box spring seams, bed frame joints and screw holes, headboards, nightstand runners, baseboards, and behind outlet covers.
Luggage from travel, used furniture and mattresses, shared walls in apartments, guests' belongings, and secondhand clothing. Never from outside on their own.
Over-the-counter sprays do not reach harborage points and can scatter the population to other rooms. Bed bugs also survive months without feeding.
We handle bed bug work for Midlands homes, apartments, student housing and hospitality properties. Discretion matters in this work, and our technicians handle it accordingly.
Bites alone are not diagnostic. People react very differently and some do not react at all, which is why inspection confirms the infestation before treatment starts. In heavier infestations there is also a sweet, musty odour. What matters most is finding every harborage point, because partial treatment selects for the survivors.
We give you a preparation checklist before the appointment. It generally includes:
Do not move furniture or belongings to other rooms. That is the most common way a contained infestation spreads through a house.
No. Bed bugs are brought in on luggage, furniture and belongings. Cleanliness affects how easy they are to find and treat, not whether you get them.
Usually not. Eggs resist treatment and hatch afterward, so follow-up is built into the plan. Anyone promising one visit on bed bugs is overselling.
Appointment length depends on the treatment and property. Our team will explain what to expect, provide an arrival window, and call on the way.
Modern uses low-toxicity, professional products and follows service-specific safety requirements. Some treatments require people or pets to stay out of treated areas until the materials are dry or for a specified period.
