We eliminate bed bugs in 1 day — guaranteed. Our Tampa office (918 E St Clair St) pairs a proprietary spray with Heat Assault thermal heat to wipe out bed bugs and their eggs in a single visit. Honest square-foot pricing and free quotes. Call (727) 594-8862 to schedule.
How we do it: We use a combination treatment — a proprietary residual spray plus our Heat Assault thermal heat. The heat kills bed bugs and their eggs on contact at every life stage, and the spray keeps working for weeks to stop survivors and re-infestation. It's the two-pronged method entomology researchers at Purdue University found most effective, and it's guaranteed.
The temperatures that matter: Bed bugs die at 118°F held for about 90 minutes, and 122°F kills them almost instantly. Eggs are the toughest stage, so we hold lethal temperatures throughout the home and back the heat with residual spray. See the full heat and time chart.
What it costs in Tampa: Treatment starts at $1,800 and is priced by home size — most homes run $1,800–$2,800. That's the affordable end of the national $1,500–$5,000 range. Estimate your price.
Local factors in Tampa: Tampa is home to about 393,000 residents, and roughly 50% of homes are renter-occupied — and rentals and multi-unit buildings tend to see more bed bug activity. The median Tampa home was built around 1985, which means more cracks and crevices where bed bugs can hide. Tampa also ranks among the Top 50 cities on Orkin’s annual U.S. Bed Bug Cities list.

Signs you have bed bugs: adults are reddish-brown and about the size of an apple seed. Look for rusty blood stains and tiny black fecal spots (they smear reddish-brown on a damp tissue) on mattress seams, pinhead-sized pale eggs and shed skins, and a sweet musty odor. Around 85% of bed bugs are found in or near the bed.

I contacted Bed Bug Exterminator (BBE) after struggling for weeks. Kendall on the phone was very patient and understanding, which already reduced my stress. Later, Victor came for the inspection and handled everything professionally. He… More didn’t rush and made sure every corner was checked properly. The service really gave me peace of mind.
I cannot say enough good things about this company. I found myself in an extremely difficult and stressful situation, and from the very beginning, the entire team treated me with honesty, professionalism, compassion, and genuine care.A… More special thank you to Dori, who was absolutely incredible throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond to help me navigate what felt like an overwhelming situation. Her patience, knowledge, responsiveness, and dedication made all the difference. I honestly do not know how I would have gotten through this without her support and guidance.One thing that truly stood out was how accommodating they were with my schedule. I had a lot of moving pieces happening at once and was juggling multiple deadlines and responsibilities. The timing of when my home would be ready for treatment was uncertain, and as soon as I was finally able to confirm everything, they worked incredibly hard to fit me into their schedule as quickly as possible. They understood how important my deadline was and did everything they could to help make it happen. That level of flexibility and commitment meant more than I can express.What impressed me most was the company's integrity. They were straightforward, transparent, and took the time to explain everything clearly. At no point did I feel pressured or misled. Instead, I felt supported by people who genuinely cared about helping me solve the problem.The service itself was thorough, efficient, and highly professional. Just as importantly, the quality of the work was performed to the highest standards. Every step of the process was handled with care, attention to detail, and a level of expertise that gave me complete confidence that the job was being done right. Thanks to their knowledge, professionalism, and commitment to excellence, I was able to achieve a positive outcome and regain peace of mind.If you're facing a bed bug issue and want a company you can trust, I wholeheartedly recommend them. The office staff is outstanding, the technicians are professional, and Dori is truly one of a kind. Thank you all for helping me through one of the most challenging situations I've ever faced.
I made a down payment and signed an agreement to have bed bugs removed from bedroom. Was guided through the prep steps and was prepared for the procedure. When technician came he inspected bed room and declared I had an ant issue, and… More no bed bugs present. All personnel were exsteemly friendly and kind. The technician advised me to get an ant exterminator service at a much cheaper price, and then for the unbelievable part they canceled my contract and no payment was required. Such honesty, friendly, quick, and respectful service is rare in the world today, and this company needs recognized for it. Thanks so much.

I contacted several companies, but Bed Bug Exterminator stood out because of clear communication. From scheduling to post-treatment advice, everything felt organized. The team explained how to prevent future issues, which gave me confidence… More long after the job was done.
As someone who values cleanliness, finding bed bugs felt embarrassing. Bed Bug Exterminator handled everything discreetly and professionally. No judgment, just solutions. The process was smooth, and the results were exactly what I hoped… More for. I haven’t seen a single sign since the service.
Moving into a new apartment should have been exciting but discovering bed bugs changed everything. Bed Bug Exterminator responded quickly and treated the situation seriously.

They took all my worries & troubles away with the bugs!They will always be welcomed into my facility, we ended the day like we were family! Service is 10/10 all around! & their office has amazing customer service! Thank you !!
I truly can’t say enough good things about this company. We live in a Bradenton and our neighbors had a bad infestation that went on for years. We hired them to do a heat treatment for us and our neighbor and all the bugs were completely… More killed after the first attempt. I’m so happy we found them. They really took their time to assess the problem and didn’t overcharge us either. They even offered multiple discounts to us for getting the neighbor to agree to the treatment as well. I don’t know where we would be if we didn’t find this company.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does your bed bug treatment work?
We use a combination treatment: a proprietary residual spray plus Heat Assault thermal heat. The heat raises the whole structure to a lethal temperature, killing bed bugs and eggs at every life stage, while the spray adds lasting protection against survivors and re-introduction — often in a single visit.
How long does a bed bug heat treatment take?
Most homes are treated in a single day — that's our "1 Day & Done" approach. We bring the structure up to a lethal temperature, hold it for several hours to penetrate every harborage, then verify with temperature monitors before finishing.
How much does bed bug treatment cost?
Treatment starts at an $1,800 minimum and is priced by home size — so most homes fall between roughly $1,800 and $2,800. Larger homes are priced by square footage, and a few factors — extra stories, distance, sprinkler systems, or heavy infestations — can affect the quote. We give you a firm, all-in quote up front.
Is the treatment safe for my family, pets, and belongings?
Yes. Our combination treatment is performed by trained technicians who follow all product-label safety guidance. We provide a prep checklist covering pets, children, and heat-sensitive items, plus clear direction on how to prepare and when it's safe to return home.
Why combine a spray with heat instead of using just one?
Heat penetrates wall voids, furniture, and bedding to kill bed bugs and eggs on contact, while our proprietary spray adds residual protection against any survivors or re-introduction. Used together, they're more thorough than either method alone — which is why we use both.
Are your bed bug treatments guaranteed?
Yes. Our heat treatments are backed by a warranty — if bed bugs return within the covered period, we come back. See our warranty page for full details on coverage.
How should I prepare for a bed bug heat treatment?
Preparation is minimal. You'll remove a short list of heat-sensitive items — aerosols, certain medications, pets, live plants, and a few specific valuables. We provide a complete prep checklist when you book so your treatment goes smoothly.
