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 |

Measured across 7 call-backs where a caller in Auburndale 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.
We guarantee our work for 60 days. You have a 60-day guarantee. If you see something after we do treatment, we come back out and we treat you and that is on us. Yeah, there's no additional charge.
Answered by Dori on a call,
We have a 60-day guarantee, so if you need us to come back out, we come back out. But if there's no need, then we're good. But when we come back out for the 60 days, there's no additional charge to you.
Answered by Dori on a call,
They should be. And what you need to find out from them, because they probably have somebody that they know that does pest control for the business when they need it.
Answered by Dori on a call,
I do. Yes, ma'am. Let me get to that screen. Just be with you in one moment here.
Answered by Mike on a call,
Now there's a lot of good information on the internet, but there is a lot of misleading information on the internet as well. Okay.
Answered by Dori on a call,
It is a 10 to 12 hour process.
Answered on a call,
This is our own crew, on recorded calls about jobs in Auburndale and nearby. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
We also bring a piece of commercial equipment. It's called a heat assault. It's a trailer. It's an unmarked black trailer specifically designed and built to do heat treatments for bedbugs. And it pushes out 600,000 BTUs of thermal energy.
Chemicals that only that licensed chemical licensed pest control companies have access to from not mistaken But more importantly, we bring in what's called a heat assault trailer. Now, this is a commercially designed piece of equipment that's built specifically to destroy bed bugs and their eggs. What this is, it's an unmarked black trailer, so it's very discreet. It'll push out about 600,000 BTUs of thermal energy into your house.
We have a one day and done treatment. Compared to our competitors, they might do it, they might spray your home periodically within weeks. We're in one day and you come back home and have your life back within that one day. So typically a day will start at 8 a.m. and you'll be back in your house around 8 p.m.
Absolutely. So once I know his game plan, what he's going to do. Then I can let you know, you know, he is, and I'm pretty sure he's definitely going to start with spraying and then setting up the heat treatment in 114 because that's going to take the longest. And then he'll probably want to spray 113 and 115 while he's up there and then come downstairs to do the two common areas. Now, 1.13 and 1.
If you do that and it is bedbugs, I'll just, you know, I'm giving you this crash course. Don't let somebody convince you to do a spray series because you're not going to get a guarantee.
We definitely need to do an inspection there. There were some spots that could be bed bug spotting, but from the pictures I couldn't tell.
A prep checklist now this is going to give you more detail about what to do to prepare for the technician but I will go ahead and say that if you have any laundry that has not been washed go ahead and do that any laundry that may
They automatically start dying off. And if one hasn't gone through any previous treatment, it takes them seven days to die. So when you get those, put it in a Ziploc baggie. See how long it takes to die. So if you've grabbed it, you put it in the baggie, let me know tomorrow if it's still kicking.
Just make sure you collect some of the bugs from like tabletops or whatever that it will have dropped from the ceiling in a bag along with some on the bed because we want to make sure that they have.
A general pest control company. The only thing we do is treat for bedbugs. Reason being that most pest control companies can't deal with bedbugs. Most of the treatment options that are out there are insufficient to get rid of bedbugs. So we developed a technique which we call a combined treatment. And we do a three-part pesticide spray on the perimeter of your home, door jams, window sills, floorboards, headboards, etc. And that also contains a residual spray that continues to work for about 30 to 35 days. Then we have a commercial piece of equipment. It's called Heat Assault. It's a trailer specifically built to do heat treatments for bedbugs.
It just depends on their property size, and I can get some information from you. If you want to give me your address, I can look that up, and then we can go over the treatment options, and then we can get into the price for it. What is your address, if you don't mind?
We ask that before our texts come out that you do clean up any clutter that you have, anything laying around the floor, or even if you just have, you know, laundry baskets with clean clothes or clothes that need to be washed, if you can just, you know, go ahead and wash everything.
Hi, this is Mike with Bed Bug Exterminator. I think we just missed your phone call a few minutes ago, so I was just grabbing you a call back.
They hitchhike, yeah, so they easily hitchhike on your clothes. And so you're, I think you said your mother, she just experienced that, right? So, and she walked into another room and she didn't notice it. Now they're in another room.
You can do it sooner if you want to, but I don't want you to be uncomfortable in your house while you're waiting for them. So you can do it sooner, although the technicians will always check to make sure that it's turned off. So if you forget to turn it off, don't worry, Victor will get it. He'll make sure that it's turned off.
With that, okay, we can do Tuesday and we would need someone to be able to let us in. We lock up afterwards unless he has a door code and then people just give us their door codes. We do a lot of Airbnb and things like that where they just give us door codes.
You're welcome. And the only one he told is the black cat that's in the house. Did you know there was a cat in the house? There's a black cat in the house. Did you know that?
That heat treatment plus the pesticide, we know after doing thousands of homes, that is extremely effective. It is very unusual for someone to call back and say that they are still getting bitten. I mean, it has happened in the past, but that was under the most extreme type of infestation. And if you've had an extreme infestation, there is no chance in, you know, that chase would have not seen that.
When we come out, we do the whole home because, like I said, they're hitchhikers. They're going to move from room to room, and other companies, they do the whole home.
The clothes that you left with that you're wearing when you come back I think it's good advice to just go ahead and wash and dry those clothes yes

Yes. Auburndale is inside our service area, worked out of our Tampa office, about a 59-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 Auburndale sits roughly 59 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.
