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.
We know that with our heat treatment and with our perimeter spray that we leave you with as a second layer of protection, that we will get rid of this infestation for you. Now, that being said, Billy, especially with what you guys do, you're volunteering, there is a chance this is not going to make you not have bedbugs for the rest of your life.
Answered by Dori on a call,
We aren't located in Port St. Lucie. We have our primary location in Tampa Bay, our secondary location in Central Florida, and our technicians do all of Florida except for the Panhandle and the Keys out of those two locations. We treat Port St. Lucie, okay?
Answered by Dori on a call,
Not at all. No paper might fly around. So any loose paper, we'd want to make sure there's a paperweight on it or in a drawer. The only drawers will open are the dresser drawers with clothing in it, closets, of course, but we do use the fans in there. So if it's loose, it'll fly.
Answered by Dori on a call,
We'll keep the price the same. Our prices have gone up a little bit, but we will keep the price the same for you.
Answered by Dori on a call,
This is a one-and-done day treatment, so if we get in there.
Answered on a call,
Eight to eight at the very latest now if Victor finishes up before he will let you know and that way you know exactly when you can get back into the home because there's that two-hour cool-down period that's part of that 10 to 12 hours Ryan
Answered on a call,
This is our own crew, on recorded calls about jobs in Aspen Hill and nearby. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
Had us set up our heat fans in there so what we do is a one day and done heat and spray treatment we use the latest state-of-the-art technology in our heat assault system it's the only system that was ever specifically created to eliminate the bugs and eggs And it's powerful. It's over 600,000 BTUs of power, runs on its own generators.
If you speak with your landlord, let him know how long it's been since you've been in the car and that you're deciding whether you want that treated or not, because as it's getting hotter, you know, it's going to kill the bedbugs, that heat that's in the car naturally.
Would there be any way to bring in, because we have to run hoses from the back of the trailer into the unit to use the heat assaults. Yeah, just trying to figure out first.
We don't use a powder. We use a pesticide spray and we spray around the baseboards of your entire apartment and that creates a barrier that if any bugs cross that barrier, they're going to be, you know, they'll be dead.
Just a regular driveway, all that, none of that affects the pricing. Okay, so this hits at our minimum, which is $1,800. And what we do, yep, what we do, I don't know, it sounds like you've done a little bit of research already, but we do a combination spray and heat treatment. The heat is really what kills the bugs and the eggs at one time.
Be able to get him an inspection. We have. Oh, one technician is having an emergency in the middle of the night, so he's out for the next few days.
Are even heat fans that pump that heat all over the place. So if you put loose papers in that house, those papers would just be flying all over the place because the heat fans really push that heat where it needs to go.
Hang out in the baseboards, in the wall outlets, wherever they can find those dark little spaces and they'll wait until that spray dissipates a little bit and while they're doing that, they're not twiddling their bed bug thumbs, they're breeding. They're creating more population. So, and those eggs, once they're laid, take about 14 days to develop.
Remember, with small items, your oven and your dishwasher are also heat resistant. Okay, now I wouldn't suggest putting firearms or ammunition in them. Most of the heat will stay off those items, so items like freestanding candles.
Our heat assault, it raises it very, very quickly in the home so that heat kind of sneaks up on them before they have a chance to get away. And holding it there for hours, especially at this time of year because it's so hot on the outside of the home, we don't have a problem nailing all the bedbugs and eggs in a one day and done treatment.
He's 21. But then again, I mean, with it being warmer in Florida, everything wants to bite us, you know, over the summertime. And now with it being warmer and they're coming back out because we're warming up a little bit, then, you know, I've seen mosquitoes and, you know, everybody's coming back out. So he could have thought that it was something else.
While I'm waiting for confirmation, let me just ask you a few questions just so I can have you on my system just to be prepared just in case they are. I do have your first name. What's your last name?
If you have any room in the closets to hang stuff up, just as long as you're not shoving them so tight in the closet hanging up that there's no airflow, I would say hang them up. Just get more hangers and get everything hung up if you've got room for it. That's the easiest way to do it.
She set you up for a respray and said we would contact you by end of day to narrow down the time, okay? Now, with a respray, you need to be out of the house for three hours while it dries, okay? And I'm sure Julie explained that to you. Now, we can do...
Once you get back home, it's going Yeah. to be quite warm. So go ahead and open your front door and back door, maybe a couple of windows, and that hot air will escape pretty quickly. So about 15 minutes after you've exhausted the air, then go ahead and turn your air conditioner back on, and that way you can cool down to a comfortable temperature.
I have good news for you. It's been a juggle, juggling, you know, technicians and stuff, but we can be out there tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. to do a respray for you.
Think you'll be fine with that because if you're doing it outside, then they're not going to get back in, okay, if there's any in there. What you do is just have a big garbage bag that, you know, you have right there just in case. And if you find anything with bedbugs on it, shake it off into the bag. The bugs will go into the bag, then you throw them out into an outdoor garbage can.
If he could, of course, you know, we know there's going to be the cockroaches and I knew that it was going to bring that population down quite a bit, but it might not take care of it. What I need is if he sees a bed bug.
Anything like that, the tote bags that like are more canvas or, you know, vinyl, something like that, then you just vacuum really well. Vacuum them out inside and out really well.
Spotting is what we call it. It's bed bug feces, okay, and you will find it on sheets or mattresses, sometimes on headboards, curtains, depending on wherever they're kind of hanging out, okay? It looks like somebody took a ballpoint.

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.”
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 Aspen Hill 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.

Yes. Aspen Hill is inside our service area, worked out of our Bethesda office, about a 18-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 Aspen Hill sits roughly 18 minutes from our Bethesda 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.
Clearly, you are dealing with an infestation of bed bugs in Aspen Hill. 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.
