I hope you find this company sooner than I did. We are clean people, but someone stayed with us that did not know they had bed bugs and that’s how we got them. We literally had one of the big name pest control companies come out, they told us we had to spray 3 times and charged us $1500 for 3 sprays. We had to bag up clothes and food. And we still had bed bugs after that, and they wanted to charge us another $400 to come spray again. We couldn’t take it any more and learned then about heat treatment, they say it kills the eggs and bugs. It cost us $1800 and we really wish we’d done this first because they are finally gone. Bed Bug Exterminators seemed really smart and thorough, we had to be gone for a full day but did not have to bag up food or clothes, just put away candles and stuff. If you ever go through the nightmare that is bed bugs, go for the heat first, do not mess around.

I have to leave this review, one of the best experiences I’ve had with pest services. I don’t want to say what home, but I booked this company to treat a group residence. It was a massive production, 14 rooms, 2 stories. They brought out two trucks of gear, they’re professional and got the job done in our schedule. Highly recommend.

My landlord had me trapped in spray treatment hell, the staff at BBE insisted on speaking with my landlord and helped me get approval to get treatment. Yes they would not approve a heat treatment! The accomplished the tasks at hand and my bed bug problems are finaly OVER.

We ended up with a small infestation while vacationing in AMI. BBE was the only place open on Sunday. Kendall spoke to us on a threeway call with the rental company for 25-30 minutes and guided us on how to protect ourselves from bringing them home. Very professional, very accommodating, and very willing to help. Heaven forbid have another situation while vacationing. If we do, BBE will be our first choice!

When your fed-up and want the job done once and for all it's worth paying the price to get it done! The technicians are extremely professional, friendly, and helpful. They take the time to explain everything to you, and get the job done right! I was very pleased with their service, and I highly recommend.
Roosevelt Lyons

We had never experienced bed bugs before and was not sure who to call. We called a couple of places that were cheaper but they did not have a guarantee and did not use a heat treatment, we went with the combined treatment figuring doing both treatments at the same time would 100% get rid of these bed bugs, and it did!
Abril Ryan

We were worried about spending a large amount of money on this service but needed the problem taken care of after trying to fight it ourselves. After the service we were very satisfied with the process from start to finish with no regrets. Everyone was kind, informative and professional. They say one day treatment takes care of the problem and it did.They also guarantee their service just in case. I highly recommend this company.

One of the properties I manage had an unexpected visitor, bedbugs. UGH! This was the first time encountering this issue, so I wasn't exactly sure what the process entailed. I had the pleasure of speaking to John over the phone and he answered all of my questions and reassured me that the issue would be taken care of quickly and effectively. Bed Bug Exterminator St. Petersburg omits the harsh chemicals in their treatment which left my tenants feeling relieved especially since they have pets and children. Overall, a great experience!!

BED BUG HEAT TREATMENT

MOST POWERFUL BED BUG HEATING EQUIPMENT ON THE MARKET
HEAT ASSAULT THE SOLUTION FOR ANY INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AND CHEMICAL FREE

The first loop takes place inside the Heat Assault unit itself. First, the 100% environmentally-friendly heat transfer fluid (HTF) is drawn from the unit’s reservoir and pumped through dual coil heaters (rugged coil piping heated by oil fired burners) to a temperature of 205°F (96°C). Once the HTF is heated, it is returned to the 130 gallon (492 litre) reservoir where it is held prior to phase two of the process. This first loop results in a 600,000 BTU/Hr. generation of heat, making Heat Assault the most powerful bed bug heating equipment on the market. Period.

DO I HAVE BED BUGS?

Have Bed Bugs-Don’t Panic: A Guide to Handling Bed Bugs

Finding bed bugs can be distressing, but don’t freak out. Here’s what you can do to confirm their presence, choose the right
treatment, and effectively address the issue:

How to Identify a Bed Bug

Bed bugs have small, flat, oval-shaped bodies and are roughly the size of an apple seed. They are reddish-brown and can be squished fairly easily. Bed Bug Nymphs (babies that have not fed yet) are a lighter, more translucent yellow in color and are slightly smaller. If you find a bug, compare it to our pictures and when in doubt, find a pest control company using our postal/zip code lookup tool and they should be able to help you identify it.

What Does a Bed Bug Bite Look Like?

Short answer: it varies a lot by person and some people have a very minimal visible reaction. Your body might take 2-3 days to react fully to a bed bug bite. Some things to look for:
1. Usually groups of small red bite marks
2. Itchiness/irritation on exposed areas of skin (e.g. hands, neck, legs, arms)
3. Zig-zag patterns

What Signs of Bed Bugs Should I Look For?

Bed bugs typically stay out of the light which means they can be difficult to find. Lift up the seams of your mattress, between the mattress and box spring, and behind the headboard. Look closely in any crevasses this is where you most likely find them if you have them. Look for reddish-brown stains on your mattress around where you sleep as well as old exoskeleton shells. Since bed bugs are fairly soft, you might squish some rolling around at night. Bed bugs often will leave tiny brown or black spots (excrement) in the areas where they feed. This could be on your mattress or around the seams.

How Do I Kill Them?

There are a number of different treatment options available, however the only sure-fire way is to find a pest control company that uses the Heat Assault system.

Basic Info

WHAT TREATMENT OPTION IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

Primary Treatment Options :

Can I Kill Bed Bugs on my Own?

While there are a lot of websites out there saying you can take care of a bed bug infestation on your own, it is very unlikely that you will succeed. Even many pest control companies have difficulty eliminating bed bugs after several visits to your home. The most effective proven way to kill bed bugs is with heat.

There are three main options for bed bug treatment: electric or propane powered heating units, chemicals and Heat Assault.

Primary Treatment Options :

01.

Chemicals

Chemicals are toxic substances and traps that are sprayed or set in your home, which kill bed bugs that are exposed. Chemicals do not kill dormant eggs and only kill bed bugs that are exposed to the toxins. Since eggs are not killed by chemicals, pest management professionals must return to the property many times to repeat the insecticide treatment. Recent academic studies have proven that bed bugs are becoming resistant to pesticides, meaning that more chemicals are required to be sprayed in a treatment to have the same effectiveness as they used to. There are also safety concerns regarding the use of these chemicals in a home setting.

02.

Electric

Electric heating equipment runs inside the residence off of their designated heat source. Electric heaters are somewhat under powered and usually cap out at around 130°F. This temperature may not be hot enough to permeate through walls and kill the bed bugs that are hiding in hard to reach places. Electric heat often takes too long to reach the “kill zone” temperatures which gives bed bugs time to escape.

Heat Assault

Heat Assault is a machine that uses a completely safe food-grade thermal fluid, which is heated in a machine outside of the dwelling. The heated fluid then runs through industrial hoses to unit heaters, which transform the heated fluid into hot air. Strong heat is an extremely efficient way of killing bed bugs. Bed bugs and bed bug eggs are killed immediately when exposed to the kill zone temperature of 122°F. Heat Assault is 100% people and pet friendly and is capable of reaching fully controllable temperatures of 140°F if required, making it the most powerful and effective bed bug heating equipment on the market. This type of power ensures that there is only one treatment required.

PREPARING YOUR HOME FOR HEAT ASSAULT

Preparing your home for a Heat Assault treatment is simple. You may have read that you should dry your clothes on high heat and pack them into bags? This is not necessary with Heat Assault:

Remove all animals and plants

Remove materials that are flammable or pressurized

Remove make-up, prescriptions and fine art (smaller items can be placed in ovens or in the fridge)

Unplug all electronics

Eliminate clutter to make room for hoses/manifolds

Vacuum the dwelling fully to remove any bed bugs/eggs living in the carpeting

WHAT ABOUT MY CLOTHES AND BEDDING?

Heat Assault has the least pre-treatment preparation required of any bed bug extermination method due to the power of the system. Follow these simple steps to ensure that the heat penetrates your clothing!

Clothing/Bedding should remain loose to allow for heat to penetrate easily.

For any items of clothing in closets, make sure to loosely hang items and ensure that there is adequate space in between garments.

For clothing in dressers, open the drawers so that they are exposed to heat. If possible, unpack clothing slightly to expose all items to the most direct heat.

Bedding can remain on the bed.
