Reaches into mattress seams, bed frames and wall voids a spray cannot. Kills every stage, eggs included.
Keeps working for weeks after we leave, so anything that survives or arrives later does not restart the problem.
Bed bugs die at 118°F held about 90 minutes; 122°F kills almost instantly. We hold lethal temperature throughout the home.
You get the prep list and an arrival window. Anything you are unsure about, we answer on the phone first.
Quoted over the phone before anything is booked, so there is no site visit and no surprise on the day.
A full heat cycle takes the whole home to lethal temperature, then a residual product goes down per its label.
Eight to eleven hours on site, depending on the size of the property and how much is in it.
We walk you through what we found and what to watch for, and the home is yours again the same day.
If bed bugs come back inside sixty days we return and treat again at no cost.
Why choose us
We kill bed bugs. Only bed bugs. One method, done right, in a single visit — heat and a residual product together, on every job we run.
Unmarked vehicles and personnel
No logos, and no mention of bed bugs on trucks, equipment or uniforms. Neighbours see a van; they do not see why it is there.
Total peace of mind
Sixty days of cover on every job. Should bed bugs survive the treatment, which is rare, we come back out and eliminate the problem for good at no cost.
No other pests, ever
One method, done right, in a single visit. It is the only approach we sell, which is the reason we are good at it.
Quoted as bed bug experts
Reporters do not find us in a directory; they come looking for someone who does this all day. CNN introduces Allan as the operations expert at Bed Bug Exterminator, and he has been quoted by name in thirty articles across fifteen national outlets.
Community-focused service
Seven offices across Florida and Maryland, each with its own locally staffed crew. The office that quotes your job is the one that turns up to it.
Affordable, high-quality heat solution
Priced by the size of the home rather than by the room, and quoted over the phone before anything is booked. No site visit, and no per-room upcharges.
Experienced, dedicated team
As Allan puts it: once we take on your project, your bed bug problem becomes my bed bug problem. If it turns out not to be bed bugs, we say so and cancel the contract. That has happened.
The single best solution — Heat Assault
Heat Assault reaches kill-zone temperature throughout the house and keeps climbing, which is what takes out the eggs as well as the adults. Paired with a residual spray on every job.

“My experience with BBE (Bed Bug Exterminator) was very smooth. Dori explained everything clearly on the phone and booked me quickly. The technician Chase came and did a full spray and heat treatment in one day, from morning to evening. The process was well organized and I felt relief after.”
“If you want your bed bugs gone CALL THEM!! Their team is top notch and truly care about what they do. Huge shout out to Dori and Victor, they took such great care of my home and killed every last bloodsucker! Thee best company for bed bug treatment hands down! Thanks”
“Kendall is extremely knowledgeable, professional and patient. She walked me through the process on the phone assessing for bed bugs as well as treatment options. She was interested in me FIRST and my needs, not just making a buck! The tech arrived on time and treated our entire home, 100% bed bug free for 3 months.”
“My experience with Bed Bug Exterminator was very positive. Chase handled the inspection professionally and didn’t miss any areas. Before that, Kendall had helped me book the appointment smoothly and answered all my questions. Everything felt organized and well-managed from start to finish.”
Heat only works if the whole structure gets past lethal temperature and stays there. That is a question of output, and output is a number.
| Heat only | Chemical | Combination | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kills eggs | Yes | Often misses | Yes |
| Residual protection | None | A few weeks | Weeks |
| Reaches hidden voids | Bugs flee deeper | Limited | Yes |
| Visits needed | 1 (with gaps) | 2–4 | Usually 1 |
| Guaranteed | — | — | Yes |
Bed bugs die at 118°F held around 90 minutes, and 122°F kills almost instantly. We hold lethal temperature throughout the home.

Single family home — full heat cycle
Measured across 7 call-backs where a caller in Sun City Center did not reach us first time. Counts come from our own phone record. No caller is identified.
Every question below was asked by a real caller on a recorded call, and every answer is what one of our crew said back on the phone, word for word. We give the caller's first name, or their postcode where we do not have one, and never their surname, address or phone number.
The floor cushions, they can stay and they'll get a really good heat treatment just like any throw rugs, you know, any rugs that you have down, they can stay. They'll get a really good heat treatment and they need to. Okay, just like the floor cushions, you need to keep those there. That's important.
Answered by Dori on a call,
What we would do, okay, and I'm going to type this out for you. So our quote, whoops, if I can type and talk at the same time today, our quote is. $2,700 with payment plan $2,800. We divide that in half and do $1,400 upfront and $1,400 in equal monthly payments.
Answered by Dori on a call,
I don't see your address here on Villo. I'm trying to look up your address on Villo so I can see the square footage.
Answered by Charles on a call,
Because there are a lot of bugs that will find their way onto or into our bed. I mean, heck.
Answered on a call,
I knew they were right across from one another in two different buildings. Okay.
Answered by Dori on a call,
This is our own crew, on recorded calls about jobs in Sun City Center and nearby. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
I'm hoping that you'll be able to find one or two of them. Okay, and then you want to ask what kind of treatment they do, okay, because you want to make sure it's a heat treatment, and then you also want to ask what temperature they go up to. If they go up to 150, say no thank you because that can cause you home damage, okay? They should be able to stay at 140, no more than 145, and take care of your home.
With the heat treatment that's the one the one that's in 114 that's going to have to stay out longer we start at 8 a.m we have what we tell everyone is we have everyone back home no later than 8 p.
Any clothing that's laying around your son's room, any bedding, any soft fabric items, take them very carefully, run them through a high heat dryer for at least 40 minutes. It'll kill any bedbugs or eggs that are on them, okay? If he doesn't need those items right now.
We do get a lot of calls of people. I'm seeing that they've seen bed bugs and it's like they want us to treat other bugs while we're there and we don't have you know the proper equipment to treat other bugs we only specialize in bed bugs but with that being said we do do a combination process of spray and heat We'll come to your property and we'll spray the perimeter of your home, like your door jams, your windowsills, your floorboards.
Our base price is $1,800. It's a one day and done treatment. We start at 8 a.m. in the morning. We need all people and pets out of the home for the day. And we have everybody back in the home no later than 8 p.m. at night. And our heat treatment eliminates all bed bugs and eggs that day. And then we do a... barrier spray for you that lasts for well over a month as a second layer of protection. So what's your first name?
Last night. Okay. So if she doesn't get any bites, any more bites for three to five days, but then she gets some, which would be three bites or less, then yeah, there's probably one loose bed bug in there. Hopefully all the vacuuming and all the running all of these textile items through a high heat dryer will fix your problem and she won't get bit again.
Two bad town jobs. Okay. For us to do our one day and done teeth and spray treatment, it is an all day treatment. We arrive a little bit before 8 a.m. We need all people and pets out of the home all day. And we promise to have you back no later than 8 p.m. at night. For us to do our treatment on your home, it is $1,900.
Never ever in eight months you've never seen any bed bugs. You've never seen any like black spots on a mattress that's their feces. You've never seen any exoskeletons or anything.
If it was his kitchen and bathroom that were right there next to your living room, probably wouldn't be an issue. They would be, you know, from your apartment and just dug in.
We do many beds like that and don't have an issue. I'm just hoping that this takes care of your issue. If not, it's got to be something else other than bed bugs. What we're seeing from the pictures you gave us aren't bed bugs. And it doesn't look like, I mean, I am the bite.
Absolutely. And then Jacob, what you want to do, as I was telling Nelson, you don't want to spray any sprays or put any powders down. That will spread your issue. Those will only kill the ones that are on the surface and the ones that aren't on the surface will move away from the spray or the powder. Okay?
What you want to do is let them know you're looking for financial assistance for bed bug treatment. They will either screen themselves if they have money to help or they send you to another agency. Now those agencies pay us directly. So when you find an agency that says yes we can help, you want to get that agency name, the contact person and their email address. They're going to want seen estimates. So you give that information to us. We send them the estimate.
There's that. Also, with the dog, what happens is bedbugs are hitchhikers. That's how we get them in our home.
That is up to you if you want to come back the next day. Yes. And with our spray, once it's dry, it is non-harmful to people and pets. I've heard you had dogs as well. So we are all huge animal advocates. We all have animals and we would never do anything that would harm them.
Should be, that says to me, it's going to be contained to the apartment, to the one apartment.
It's going to be really hot um so i suggest the next day having your cleaning crew come in doing a really really good vacuuming taking all the linens and um throwing them through the washer and dryer as a matter of fact if they're coming in
All right, so these are definitely bedbugs. And, you know, just because their name says bed in it, they'll hang out in your recliner and couch. They don't care. They hang out wherever you hang out. And they could have been in the home or if you happen to bring used furniture in, they can come in that way as well. Bed bugs are hitchhikers. So all it takes is going to the wrong place at the wrong time.
Then text it to me Again, keep track of her bites. She wants to check what bites she has on her before she goes to bed and then check first thing to see if there's any new bites, okay?
At least to help with prep a little bit, you know, just make sure that you're taken care of properly.
I'm just trying to confirm because there are, I mean, it's summertime in Florida, you know, in March, that's when it started warming up for us. So all bugs are coming out of hibernation. They're having babies, everybody's hungry and everything in Florida wants to eat us. I mean, I just fully believe everything in Florida just wants to eat us, you know.

Yes. Sun City Center is inside our service area, worked out of our Tampa office, about a 35-minute drive away. We treat homes and businesses there, and the treatment is the same combination of Heat Assault thermal heat and a residual spray we run everywhere else.
Same-week appointments are usual. Because Sun City Center sits roughly 35 minutes from our Tampa office, a crew can normally be with you within a few days of the call, and the whole job is one visit rather than a course of return trips.
Treatment starts at an $1,800 minimum and is priced by the size of the home, with most homes landing between about $1,800 and $2,800. There are no per-room upcharges. We give you the exact number over the phone before anything is booked.
Almost never. Furniture is treated where it stands: heat reaches inside mattresses, frames and upholstery where a spray cannot, so it does not need to be discarded or replaced. We will tell you plainly if a piece is genuinely beyond saving.
