I had a very good experience with Susan at NW K9 Bed Bug Detectives. I've never written a review before, but I was inspired after Susan helped me and my partner get rid of our bed bugs at our two different apartments. I was being bitten by horrible bed bugs that were really painful and I was super anxious. Now the bugs are gone and I am so grateful!! I highly recommend the K9 Detectives because they really care about fully solving the problem and they are warm, flexible, detail oriented, honest, and fair with the price. I left Susan a panicked voicemail and she called back promptly, on her day

NW K9 Bed Bug Detectives are great to work with! We slept in our basement bedroom during the three scorching days of the Seattle summer of 2021. My wife got three bits on the last night. Looked like bed bug bites to us, but no one had slept in the room in 3+ months and only 2 people in the last 7 months. We immediately washed all the bed cloths on a steam setting and throughly vacuumed the bed and bedroom and put the vacuum bag in a sealed plastic bag. Then I called NW K9 and spoke with Susan. She explained the inspection process and cost, treatment options if bed bugs were found and the training

NW K9 is beyond amazing! They are professional, patient, courteous, and manage freaked out clients (like us) w/remarkable grace. They respond nearly immediately to any questions and provide detailed information about bed bugs AND what exactly happens to get rid of them. Exactly. From the first encounter w/ Susan on the phone, to the 'paws up' from Pistol (the beagle, and his patient handler, Krystyna) assuring us that we are FREE of these beasts, the experience has exceeded our expectations. Once Pistol and Krystyna made the diagnosis that we had bed bugs, the infestation in our bedroom and another

If you found this search because you are dealing with bedbugs like we were I am so sorry! But you are in great hands!! I am writing this review 4 months after our personal bedbug nightmare, and we have not had any issues since. The entire team at Northwest K9 Bed Bug is incredibly professional, kind, and understanding. I am just so glad we found them!

Just had these guys out to spray for wasps on my triplex and they did a great job. They were in and out and explained the whole process. They were on time and called ahead to confirm.

Reasonably priced Peace Of Mind- worth every penny! I stayed with some family that had bedbugs and brought some home. We treated to get rid of them ourselves (instead of hiring a company) and stopped getting bites. But we hear horror stories on the web how they can just stop eating a couple months and come back even when you think you got rid of them. And so many sites say it's impossible to get rid of them unless you hire an exterminator. We were afraid they might be lurking around anyway.
Well, we had to move and we had a HUGE bedbug clause at our new place, making it clear that if we brought
