The Industry Secret

Why most pest treatments fail

We never spray blindly. We identify the specific species to ensure the right solution.

Total Transparency

We walk you through the 'why' and the 'how' so you're never in the dark.

Why Detroit Residents Choose Certified Pest Elimination

Licensed

Michigan-Certified Expertise

We don't hire "seasonal help" or entry level trainees. Our team consists of only state-certified professionals with rigorous ongoing training in pest control, entomology, and chemical safety.

Long-Term Results

Elimination vs "Control"

Many companies offer "pest control," which only manages the population. Our Elimination Guarantee means we target the source of the infestation to wipe it out entirely. If they come back, so do we, guaranteed.

Safe & Eco-Friendly

Family & Pet-Safe Protocols

We utilize Integrated Pest Management (IPM). This means we use the most effective, low-impact products available that are lethal to pests but safe for your children, pets, and the environment.

We Eliminate.

At Certified Pest Elimination, we believe every Michigan home and business owner deserves to feel safe in their own space. Since 2023, we’ve built our reputation on a simple promise: we don't just control your pest problems, we eliminate them.

"Darnell has been treating my home since March of this year (2025). 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. Especially we have a pool and that naturally attracts OrbWeaver Spiders. I trust Darnell in my home when I am not there."

"I was extremely pleased with the service I received from CPE. Darnell was prompt, professional and personable. He was very accommodating to my work schedule and explained to my comfort every step of the process and did a follow up to make sure I was no longer having issues or if I had any more questions or concerns. I highly recommend CPE to anyone having pest issues and would most definitely call on them in the future!"

FAQs

Have Questions About Our Pest Elimination Services?

Find quick answers to some of the most common pest elimination questions we receive.

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.

Your service schedule is tailored based on high-risk factors for pest infiltration, including spaces with high foot-traffic, food preparation areas, and frequent deliveries (shipping/receiving). We also consider the size and structural layout of your building.

No, that is not necessary. We maintain Pest Sighting Logs on-site. Please document sightings there; our technicians will review these logs and provide targeted attention during your scheduled maintenance visit.

We advise against using over-the-counter contact sprays. These often cause pests to scatter, making them harder to control, and they can drive insects away from pre-treated areas.

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.
