The page also includes 5 questions answered on recorded calls and 20 crew call excerpts.
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.
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.
Can do it two ways. We can have him come out and do an inspection. It makes me a little nervous that you already had an inspection that didn't find it.
Answered by Julie on a call,
Unless they are, if they are incredibly bad in the home, there's always a chance they could be anywhere, okay, if it's a really bad infestation.
Answered by Dori on a call,
We base it off a couple of factors, the first thing being the size of the house. You said it's 1,800 square feet.
Answered by Mike on a call,
We just don't want to, you know, erase some of that residue that we left behind because that helps kill the adults.
Answered by Charles on a call,
If you can, I would say the concert t-shirts hang up in the closet.
Answered by Dori on a call,
This is our own crew, on recorded calls about jobs in Rockville and nearby. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
You can leave your sheets how they are and then they'll heat treat them or if you have time you can also launder those on the hottest hot water setting and put them in the dryer and just leave them in the dryer.
Just fold those up next to the items on the dining room table. When Victor gets there, he'll probably ask you about them and you say they've already been heat treated.
Vacuum anything and everything that cannot go into that high heat dryer and then immediately throw that vacuum dirt out. I am hoping being that she seems like she kind of had a delayed reaction to the bite.
Know how little ones are. They have their favorite stuffies. They have their favorite blankies. Run those through the dryer to get those back. Any of the excess stuffies, any of the excess blankets, pillows, anything like that. We'll run them through that high heat dryer for at least 40 minutes and get them the heck out of Dodge.
After you got, well, when you got dressed, did you run everything through a high heat dryer to make sure there were no bed bugs on anything that you put on that day?
Do not do tenting. Right. Our company doesn't tent. We come in, we bring things into your home. Our heat assault system doesn't tent your home. We run our hoses into your home and we heat it up from the inside out. So I think it was just a miscommunication.
Those covers are not going to prevent you from getting a bed bug infestation. All those covers will do is prevent the bed bugs from getting inside and touching the mattress.
It's a heavy duty piece of equipment and it brings the temperature up to about 140 degrees in your house. We leave it there for about five, six, seven hours, depending on what the size of the house is. And then that is going to cause the exoskeletons of these bedbugs to completely collapse. They'll be devastated. But more importantly, it destroys their eggs, which is something that pesticides alone can't do. So if you have a bed bug infestation, you have eggs there as well.
When you get home, all you need to do is crack open some windows, maybe open the back and the front door, let some of that hot air exhaust because it's going to be hot and miserable inside the home. But just open up some windows, exhaust that hot air, turn the air conditioning back on, and that'll get the, you know, your house back down to a comfortable temperature. That heat is really the most effective way.
I do want to say, if it isn't bedbugs and the issue, I mean, we are bedbug exterminators, so we guarantee you for bedbugs. If it is something else, most of the time our treatment will handle any other kind of bug too. But on the off chance, if they're just having an allergic reaction or something like that and their problems continue and we don't know for sure it's bed bugs.
Of days, yeah, if every couple of days you can like schedule one of them, I hate to use them, but why not, you could schedule that, they can kind of keep an idea of, yes, you know, no, we're still not seeing anything. And then the next couple of days later, you know, another pest control company comes in for a free inspection.
Dead bugs are that bad in the United States right now. We've been doing it, oh gosh, for well over five years here. Our sister company for close to 15 years of initiative because dead bugs are so bad in the United States right now.
We have one of our technicians in Pinellas Park doing a heat treatment right now.
Any suitcases, anything like that. You want to take your vacuum. You want to vacuum them thoroughly on the outside, on the inside, roll back the seams, lift up the zipper flaps, everything, okay? Vacuum very slowly, vacuum very thoroughly. Also, you want to vacuum the whole area where you put all of your bags and suitcases, okay? Just in case there were any cleaners and if you put them back in your closet. They could be anywhere. Okay. Okay. You also want to, yeah, yeah.
Before after treatment cleaning avoid wiping down headboards window sills door jams and baseboards for at least three to four weeks.
Twice a week. Okay. Okay, yeah, so I would think it's not too long, but sometimes people don't even realize, you know, they're dealing with bed bugs for a good month or two before they actually see evidence of or the actual bugs because they're notorious for hiding. They only come out when they want to feed and then they're hiding again.
We are here happy to help support, so just leave it undisturbed. Keep in contact with us. Just let us know what's going on, like if you are getting bitten, especially your neck, back, face, torso. Usually bed bugs don't really bite too much on like ankles, feet that's more like related to like certain types of larva or mites.
They're usually more than one, but for the most part, they hide. They only come out once every three to five days to feed. That's why they're so difficult to find and see. Now, did you happen to keep the bug or get a good, clear, close-up picture of it?
Regular closets clothes on shelves blankets on shelves towels that's all fine you standard amount but if you have piles of clothes that you can't put away do you We have a situation
That being said, bedbugs are the most googled bug right now. So with Google and their algorithms, a lot of the times when you say bug or put a picture in Google Lens, because I've tested Google Lens myself, it is going to automatically come up with bed bugs. It might not be.

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.

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.

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.”
Over the years, we have developed a clear process and plan that works no matter the scale of infestation. As time has passed and our team has worked together more, we have focused on delivering treatment and solutions for bed bugs that are proven to work. To do this, we follow a strict five-step process that helps us to prepare any property in Rockville and beyond for the removal of bed bugs:
This five-step process means that we can, more often than not, eradicate all bed bugs present in your building in one visit. Instead of a course of return trips, you get a solution that is covered for a minimum of sixty days. Plan on the crew being with you for most of a working day: a full heat cycle plus the spray usually runs somewhere between eight and eleven hours, depending on the size of the property and how much is in it.
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.
Older housing stock means more cracks and crevices for bed bugs to harbour in. Rentals turn over faster than owner-occupied homes, and turnover is how an infestation arrives.

In Rockville, our heat treatment starts at an $1,800 minimum and is priced by square footage rather than by the room, so most homes land somewhere between about $1,800 and $2,800. We confirm the exact figure by phone before we begin, with no per-room upcharges and no surprises. You can estimate yours on the cost and pricing page.
The reliable way to kill bed bugs at every life stage, including the eggs that store-bought sprays tend to miss, is our combination treatment. We pair Heat Assault thermal heat, which kills the bugs on contact, with a residual spray that keeps working for weeks afterward to catch anything that survives. You can see the temperatures that kill bed bugs in full.
While heat treatment will kill off bed bugs of all shapes and sizes, they are hardy creatures that can shrug off the heat of an ordinary hot day. Therefore, do not rely upon the warmth of a closed-up room: you need something that takes the heating level right up, which is what our professional Heat Assault equipment does.
Not at all. Even spotless, five-star hotels and brand-new homes can suffer from bed bugs. If they are brought in from another location, bed bugs will find a place to live in almost any Rockville property, clean or not.
They could have arrived by someone bringing them into your Rockville home unknowingly, or through cracks and gaps from one property to the next. What draws them in is body heat and the carbon dioxide we breathe out, and not clutter, though clutter does give them more places to hide. Our bed bug FAQ covers more.
Unfortunately, no. If you have tried the usual DIY treatments, you are likely only killing a small handful of the adult populace, leaving the younglings to take their place. The infestation keeps recovering until it is treated properly at every life stage.
In most cases the whole job is finished in a single day. You and any pets do need to be out of the home while the heat runs, and for roughly two hours afterward while it cools, but there are no repeat visits to schedule the way chemical-only plans usually require.
Clearly, you are dealing with an infestation of bed bugs in Rockville. Some of the most common signs that we recommend you look out for when dealing with bed bugs include, but are not limited to:
Unfortunately, these signs prompt that you are dealing with a bed bug problem. With that being the case, taking action as soon as possible would be wise. If you spot even one of these signs, it is probably a clear indication that you have bed bugs loitering around your home or business.
