## The honest read

Debug Your Bed is a Brighton-based bed bug specialist run by a husband-and-wife team, Bryan and Monica, who say they got into the business after eliminating their own bed bug infestation with heat treatment when chemical treatments had failed them, then trained and certified in bed bug inspection and heat treatment in Arizona. The company says it's been doing this specific job — heat treatments, K9 inspections, DIY heater rentals — for about seven years.

The ten reviews on file run from 2021 through 2023, and the specifics repeat a clear pattern: get a canine inspection before paying for treatment, then treat only if bed bugs are actually confirmed. In a 2023 review, a customer described switching to Debug Your Bed after hiring Terminix "made my situation worse," and having a K9 inspection plus heat treatment completed within a week. In a 2021 review, a customer who suspected they'd brought bed bugs home from a trip called Bryan, who recommended a canine inspection first; the dog and handler arrived within 24 hours and found no bed bugs at all, sparing the cost of unnecessary treatment. Another 2021 review described Bryan suggesting cheaper steps to try before booking anything, only escalating once a bigger problem was confirmed. A 2022 review described a customer doing a DIY treatment on the owners' advice and having it work, without ever paying for a service call.

The written record is dated — the ten reviews on file run 2021 to 2023, with nothing newer on file — so treat this as an established but not recently updated track record rather than a current pulse.

For a suspected bed bug problem specifically, this reads like an option that leads with diagnosis before selling treatment, and one willing to point a customer toward a cheaper fix when that's genuinely enough. Worth confirming current availability and pricing directly given how much time has passed since the reviews on file.

**Strengths:**
- Diagnoses before selling — canine inspection first, sometimes finds no bed bugs at all
- Steers toward cheaper fixes — has pointed customers to a free DIY option first
- Fast turnaround — K9 check and heat treatment completed within a week
