Bed Bugs Undercover and Pest Detectives are the same team under two names.
Bed Bugs Undercover and Pest Detectives are the same team under two names.
In 2022, James and Heather Brashears expanded the business to cover general pest control through a sister brand called Pest Detectives. The same technicians who treat bed bug infestations for Bed Bugs Undercover handle every general pest control job through Pest Detectives. The same ACE-certified leadership. The same Integrated Pest Management approach. The same locally owned accountability.
The two-brand structure exists for a specific reason. Our service vehicles carry no bed bug branding. When our team arrives at a home for bed bug work, neighbors see a general pest control company. That discretion is built into everything we do.
For general pest control, Pest Detectives handles the job directly. You can call us at (423) 534-9771 or visit yourpestdetectives.com to learn more.
Every pest problem across Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.
Our team inspects inside and out, identifies the species, and builds a treatment plan around what your property actually needs. Serving the Tri-Cities area through our Pest Detectives division.
01
Ant Control
Ant trails on counters or patios mean there is a colony nearby. Our team identifies the species, uses baits that reach the nest, and treats entry points around your foundation to eliminate the entire colony, not just the ants you can see.
Bed bugs hide in mattresses, furniture, and wall cracks. Our team inspects every affected room, uses targeted treatments, and returns for follow-up visits to eliminate bed bugs at every life stage. For full details on all five treatment options, visit our Bed Bug Services page.
When bees nest too close to your home or family, they become a genuine risk, especially for anyone with allergies. Our team assesses the situation, prioritizes humane removal where possible, and seals entry points to prevent future nesting.
Cockroaches spread bacteria, trigger allergies, and multiply fast. Our team targets the cracks, crevices, and hidden nesting spots they use to thrive using professional baits and residual treatments. German and American cockroach infestations treated across the Tri-Cities.
Fleas and mites spread through carpets, furniture, and pet areas, causing itchy bites that are difficult to trace back to the source. Our team treats high-activity spots and provides follow-up steps to break the infestation cycle.
Rats chew wiring, contaminate food, and spread disease. Our team inspects attics, crawl spaces, and exterior areas to track activity, then uses trapping, baiting, and exclusion to remove them and block re-entry. Serving Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, and surrounding areas.
Mice squeeze in through tiny gaps, nest out of sight, and return every season if entry points stay open. Our team finds the activity, removes mice with professional trapping and baiting, and seals entry points for longer-lasting control across Northeast Tennessee attics and walls.
Spiders in corners, basements, and bathrooms grow in number when their insect prey is present indoors. Our team inspects inside and out, treats webs, nests, and entry points, and creates a barrier around the home. Common Northeast Tennessee species treated include wolf spiders and black widows.
Termites damage wood, floors, and framing silently for years before any visible sign appears. Our team performs a detailed inspection, then designs a treatment plan using liquid barriers, bait systems, or both to eliminate the colony. Ongoing monitoring protects your home from future termite activity.
Wasps and hornets turn porches, decks, and yards into no-go zones. Our team locates nests, removes them safely with the right protective equipment, and treats the area to stop rebuilding. Yellow jackets, paper wasps, and bald-faced hornets all treated across the Tri-Cities.
Eliminating a pest is only half the job. Our team identifies and seals the entry points, gaps, and structural vulnerabilities that allowed pests in. Exclusion work is the step that stops the same infestation from returning season after season.
