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.
If you have excess and you're trying to declutter that space, then run them through a high heat dryer for at least 40 minutes, bag them up in a brand new garbage bag, tie them up, set them in the garage. Just make sure you're not putting it stacking things next to the next.
Answered by Dori on a call,
What I want you to do if your bed's already strict and you have everything in the dryer already, when you get home, I want you to take your cell phone, turn the flashlight on. You want to check every single side of your headboard.
Answered by Dori on a call,
I don't have a way to transfer you because I'm not using like a normal business phone, so I don't have a way to transfer you. But if you want to just give me your contact information, your name and number and the reason for the call, I'll pass it along to them.
Answered by Mike on a call,
I would suggest you need to get a cleaning crew in there or a cleaning person that can come in and help you.
Answered by Dori on a call,
Absolutely maybe we appreciate that okay let us know what you find as I said I'm here till seven so
Answered by Dori on a call,
It was the whole team, all of our technicians, you know, they all look at all of the pictures.
Answered by Dori on a call,
This is our own crew, on recorded calls about jobs in Bowling Green and nearby. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
Why step? we give you a 60-day guarantee so if after treatment you let us know and then we come back out and we spray.
If you're expecting that the heat is going to penetrate a bag full of clothes, which makes a very, very dense mass, and gets that 140 degrees in the very, very center, that's not going to happen. And in the very, very center there could be bedbugs or eggs.
I've got all of our technicians doing all day treatments. We start about 8 a.m. in the morning. We promise to have all people pets and plants back home no later than 8 p.m. at night. It's an all day treatment.
I'm going to share these slides with the team. Just get their thoughts. And then I can send you, you know, a message later as to what they think. So you get started on getting all the soft fabric items out of your room and running them through that high heat dryer and then see if you can find anything, good pictures to add to this and then vacuum, okay? And we'll go from there. Okay.
We will treat them. Definitely do not have to. Now, if you were getting rid of it anyway, this would be a great time to get rid of it. But no, so many people are like, I just bought a new mattress and I still have it. And it's so depressing to hear.
Can pick up anywhere you go. So I don't know. Tinting usually does a pretty good job. I don't know the circumstance. I don't know your home setup. But I can tell you if you have a lot of clutter in your home, that's probably the reason why they didn't get in everything.
Can't just spray. I know a lot of people say, well, I've been spraying my house with rubbing alcohol. Well, good. You're germ free. But the bedbugs don't care.
Sprays just prolong the agony. They really do. It just makes it a long, drawn-out process. Heat comes in and eliminates the bed bugs and eggs in a day.
If any of them have lithium ion batteries, you may want to move them out of the heat treatment area. We have never, ever, ever had an issue, but our sister company up in Michigan had an issue just this past week. It was an over 10-year-old computer, though, so I think it was kind of a bad battery, and I don't know if they had it plugged in or not, but they did have an issue, and it fried their computer. So just, you know, just saying that.
It's for the whole home treatment. So no, if you were to move, you know, we are guaranteeing the whole home treatment. We would not be, and it's a 60-day guarantee. So if you're planning on moving, that's something you need to think about. Do I want treatment before I move to make sure I go into the new home bed bug free or do I want to wait until I move and then get the treatment?
Any other items? I'm here for the next three hours, as you know, and I'm on early. I'm back on at 745. So take a look at the list, kind of plan your work, work your plan, and let me know if you have absolutely any questions on prep. Okay.
They can be anywhere because people don't realize that they're hitchhikers. So even after they realize they're dealing with bedbugs in their home, they don't.
Bed bugs are really bad in the United States. states right now so anyone can get them from anywhere it's just going to the wrong place at the wrong time and either standing still for too long or leaning on furniture or sitting on furniture in a high-risk area or where someone has been before you that had bed bugs and didn't realize they can bring them out of the home with them a lot of people just don't know So bed bugs are hitchhikers.
Then when our technicians first get there, they answer any questions that you have. And then once they send you people on your way for the day, we start at 8 a.m. We promise to have you back no later than 8 p.m. at night. It's usually about dinner time when you can come back home. Then they take our proprietary blend of pesticide spray with growth inhibitor and they will spray the perimeter of each and every single room and closet.
The lithium ion batteries, the ones that you find in our laptops and phones and tablets, those are a concern. We want to take those out of the house as well.
Absolutely. We have a 60 day guarantee that you won't find any live bed bugs.
Sends me pictures of your bite if you can and if you see any more of those I need you to capture them like in a ziplock baggie or a jar or something and take a really good good close-up picture so I can see what we're dealing with okay I am going to send you a text saying you can send pictures here And that way you know exactly where to send them from.
That is very, very interesting that he's painted over those, but the heat would get rid of those. The heat and salt technology would get rid of those for sure because that temperature, they won't be able to survive no matter if they've been painted over. Now, hopefully they suffocate it, but the heat would definitely take care of any ones that were still surviving underneath there.
All I heard, I mean, I knew the rhyme, you know, hey, don't let the bedbugs bite. And then of course, you know, every now and then you'd hear, because I'm older, every now and then you'd hear all dirty people. This is something that was whispered. No big stigma. And that is so wrong. If we do germaphobes homes where you can literally eat off the floor and it does still care, man, they are opportunistic.
They can be unless it's a newer infestation and to be honest the over-the-counter pesticides actually push them into uncommon places making them harder to eradicate they'll push them into the walls and outlets which you want to try to avoid. You can wash your linens and then spray yourself with deep spray before you go to bed to help deter them from biting but like even pesticides alone they don't kill the eggs or larvae of bed bugs.

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 Bowling Green 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. Bowling Green is inside our service area, worked out of our Bradenton office, about a 84-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 Bowling Green sits roughly 84 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 Bowling Green. 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.
