One-Day Bed Bug Treatment in Anna Maria Island

It's a little bit, getting rid of bedbugs is a little tricky. We do what we call a combined treatment. We do a pesticide spray on the perimeter of the condo. Then we use a trailer called Heat Assault. We run a hose to your condo. We heat it up to 140 degrees. We keep it there for about six or seven hours.

Pesticides do not typically kill or they just don't kill the eggs and the larvae. And if you just use like a spray treatment or a chemical treatment, you have to have multiple treatments.

Lighter infestation homes that might have a little bit of floor clutter, you know, living, you know, you never have to see us again afterwards. We give you a 60-day guarantee on our work and we price by square footage. So let's talk about your home. Is it a house, apartment?

It doesn't help it with the heat treatment either but it makes it really difficult with the spray but I will do the best I can to hopefully get him treated if he wants to go with another company I understand because he might just want to start over you know Um,

Couple of weeks, somebody be out to spray and months down the road, they'd still probably need to come out and spray and you'd be spending three, four times as much as you would for a heat treatment. Okay. So the heat treatment is really what you want to focus on and there are three different kinds. So there's the heat assault system like we use.

When we do hold buildings, we either tell the property manager that, listen, it's going to be this much more because of the manual labor that it takes to prep each and every one of those sprinkler heads throughout the whole building. Or we say, hey, listen, maybe you want to contact your fire suppression company.

Getting really close to two months right there before we went out and did another respray. We can come out and we can nip a small problem in the bug with a respray, but when it goes that long, then it starts to become a larger problem and resprays don't cut it anymore. That's why you were told the last time that it's got to be another heat treatment.

Also want to say if you want, many people are just overwhelmed with the bedbugs and overwhelmed with clutter and just don't know where to start.

A bin of clothing, a basket of clothing, the laundry hamper, we cannot have that. We can't have piles like that. It has to be spread out because the heat needs to run through that house and run through every inch of those clothes.

When you walk out your front door of the apartment, are you walking into an interior hallway or are you walking into an exterior hallway where you can see the outside? Okay. Exterior hallway. Okay, perfect. And the parking lot right down below.

Chances are, again, it was just a couple that were lingering after the treatment, you know, they came out from hiding and they're still going to be, you know, dead a couple days anyway if they're not already. And they, because again, it's not likely that it is bed bugs because that treatment is just so effective.

All of that stuff you were asking me about getting rid of stuff you don't have to we'll go through the prep with you but it's pretty basic you and your electronics are all fine you can leave all that it's not a big deal oh

What she doesn't realize is that they are hitchhikers. So while people have been in the house moving around cleaning crew guests, they can easily strike onto clothing, shoes and go into other parts of the home.

Try and get me whatever pictures you can, and we'll at least try and narrow it down for you, whether it's bed bugs or something else. If it's something else, then a general pest control company can help you.

I said, we do this long distance bit a lot, so I know what to warn you about. We're going to get all the bugs for that $2,000, okay, all the bed bugs. There's times when it's a bad infestation that the first treatment requires a second respray, which would, if that happens, if they still see bed bugs, we would have to come back out on our dime.

Then the discount that we offer for our veterans is a 100 off of their service I mean, in this case, I think we could offer $100 off and do it for $2,500. Now, the scheduling is going to be a little bit tricky because you are kind of far away from – we have two offices. We have one in Orlando, one near Tampa. So you are kind of far away, but that doesn't mean that we can't do the treatment.

It so far. Okay. So you can kind of get an idea that way. If you're waking up covered in bites, that is not bed bugs unless it is really, really, really bad. Okay.

You're not going to fix your own problem. It's already in two rooms, and for right now you don't know where else it is. Bedbugs are hitchhikers. They hitchhiked into your home before you discovered them under that mattress topper. They could have easily been clinging on to anyone's clothes in the house going into other areas of your house. And that's when you need a professional.

You'll have a little bit less time to actually work on the prep work, but I don't think you had much to do.

I would suggest having somebody stay in, maybe somebody you don't like very well, stay in the same room that those people stayed in, kind of that sacrificial goat tied to the stake.
