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.
The type of treatment that we do is combination spray and heat treatment. Using heat is the only way to kill bedbugs and eggs. When you do a spray, it does not kill the eggs.
Answered by Julie on a call,
I would wait yes because he's going to spray in some of the same areas we are so you're good okay that is not only for bed bugs it pretty much takes out anything else that crawls in Florida okay so I say tell him don't even worry about coming this month maybe even next month as well and then start it again
Answered by Dori on a call,
Hopefully we'll still have it available for you. And if not, then hopefully we'll have the Friday available. So it just depends on how many calls come in in that area today, you know.
Answered by Dori on a call,
Usually within a couple days, I give you an idea. Let me just take a look real quick at the calendar.
Answered by John on a call,
Of, kind of, but that's okay. There's three buildings. We know there's a unit at each building. You will work it out.
Answered by Dori on a call,
Their eggs are unless you are very good at spotting bed bug eggs you probably won't see them and they're likely already there
Answered by Mike on a call,
This is our own crew, on recorded calls about jobs in Bonita Springs and nearby. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
Rugs defined today. Our heat, when we raise the temperature up quickly to 140 degrees, we hold it there all day long. So that heat will penetrate furniture.
He checks the heat around the mattress and it is fully at the heat it needs to be. So I know you want to, you know, you have logic as well. You're a smart person. You have an idea of how you wanted him to treat it.
I may be able to get someone out. Our inspections are $200. If you're found positive for bed bugs, that $200 is credited to your account and goes towards treatment costs. Honestly, though, because all this just started happening. for us to find something that would be incredibly low.
We use, we combine both a pesticide spray along with the heat treatments. The pesticide spray, we spray the interior of the home, all the rooms around baseboards, doorjams, windowsills. We spray the backs of furniture. We strategically spray around the beds, but we don't spray anything that will have continuous human contact. And then after that, we start with the heat treatment. We have, you know, we bring a black.
Used to seeing it okay well what we would need to do is know for sure because with that if it's a freestanding townhome and it's not attached to any other townhome not so much of an issue but if they're attached Then that fire suppression system runs through the whole building. So we have to manually prepare all those sprinkler heads so they don't go off during the heat treatment, so they don't soak everybody, you know.
You wouldn't have to get rid of your furniture. So what we do here at Bed Bug Exterminator, we are not a general pest control company.
Especially if you've only just gotten there and you realize as you moved in with them you know or they I don't know if it's a male or female or a group of them um so what I suggest you do all of your clothing put it in a garbage bag take it to a laundromat run it through a high heat dryer for at least 40 minutes okay bring a new garbage bag with you
We just want to make sure that everyone is prepared and ready to go. That way when Victor gets there, there's no delay because it's a big property, man.
They have to feed like every three days. So, you know. They can die from not feeding too. They don't just sit there and just say, hey, we're going to be alive and not feed. So you would have to eventually see them or feel another bite. But it's rare for them to be in a closet.
Especially if they've got backpacks, anything like that. You'll want to make sure that those are... thoroughly checked, maybe vacuumed if the backpacks can go through a high heat dryer for at least 40 minutes to do so and that way know that these guys are leaving totally bed bug free so they can come back in totally bed bug free and don't reinfect the unit.
I would suggest, yeah, usually it's kind of all or nothing with command strips. I would suggest just taking them down, laying them on like your kitchen counter, kitchen table, they're fine. They're not going to get hurt by the heat treatment, but those command strips could soften up. And that's what we worry about. If it's any kind of a weighty picture, it's going to drop. So we don't want, you know, we don't want them broken.
If they showed up at one time and there are multiple bites, probably not bed bugs, but we still have to do due diligence for you to make sure that you don't taken off Airbnb.
As soon as I hear word back, though, honey, I will let you know. I've just been waiting. I did call Richard earlier and he was like, I'm underneath the trailer, but I promise I will be giving you an update this evening as soon as I get home. And I said, okay.
Adult male and female are the size of an apple seed, okay? The adult female, that's what we hope we don't find because an adult female, once she's bred once, is laying five eggs a day every single day. The top row is the life cycle of the male.
Using a high heat dryer, you may not need a professional at all.
In the tiniest of little places in and around your bed and around your living room, things like that, baseboards, wall outlets. And then once that blood is digested in three to five days, here they come again. So if it's just one bed bug in your home, three bites every three to five days. If you moved into a home that had bed bugs.
Send me those pictures, and then I will let you know if I can't identify, I will send it to our team of technicians as well, okay? And we'll figure out what the heck's going on.
An extra lookout because we know a lot of Airbnb owners can't get in there before we get in there and they look for extinguishers aerosols and move them for the treatment and then put them back now I just sent you the pre-treatment checklist That way you can send that on to your cleaners so if there is anything you're worried about you can have them kind of remove them from the home if you have a garage. Perfect place to put things. We will spray the garage for you.
You really don't know how bedbugs function and act until you deal with it yourself and then you learn because you're either studying online or somebody like me is telling you and we just don't know until we have to know, you know.
Not once the treatment starts, like once that heat starts, they never to come out. Now, maybe.

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 Bonita Springs 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.

Yes. Bonita Springs is inside our service area, worked out of our Bradenton office, about a 127-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 Bonita Springs sits roughly 127 minutes from our Bradenton 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 Bonita Springs. 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.
