How we do it: We use a combination treatment — a proprietary residual spray plus our Heat Assault thermal heat. The heat kills bed bugs and their eggs on contact at every life stage, and the spray keeps working for weeks to stop survivors and re-infestation. It's the two-pronged method Purdue and University of Florida research found most effective, and it's guaranteed.
The temperatures that matter: Bed bugs die at 118°F held for about 90 minutes, and 122°F kills them almost instantly. Eggs are the toughest stage, so we hold lethal temperatures throughout the home and back the heat with residual spray.
What it costs in Citrus County: Treatment starts at $1,800 and is priced by home size — most homes run $1,800–$2,800. That's the affordable end of the national $1,500–$5,000 range. Estimate your price.

Signs you have bed bugs: adults are reddish-brown and about the size of an apple seed. Look for rusty blood stains and tiny black fecal spots (they smear reddish-brown on a damp tissue) on mattress seams, pinhead-sized pale eggs and shed skins, and a sweet musty odor. Around 85% of bed bugs are found in or near the bed.

Our Combination Treatment System in Action
When bed bugs turn up in Citrus County, it can feel like you are out of options. These parasitic pests multiply fast, hide in the smallest cracks, and rarely go away with store-bought sprays or DIY remedies. What you need is a proven, professional treatment — and that is exactly what Bed Bug Exterminator delivers across Citrus County and the surrounding Citrus County area.
To eliminate bed bugs in Citrus County, we use a combination treatment: a proprietary residual spray paired with our Heat Assault thermal heat system. The heat raises your whole home to a lethal temperature, killing bed bugs and their eggs on contact at every life stage, while the spray keeps working for weeks to stop survivors and re-infestation. It is the two-pronged approach that researchers at Purdue and the University of Florida have found most effective — and it usually works in a single visit, fully guaranteed.

Bed bugs are easily mistaken for other pests. Look for small reddish-brown insects about the size of an apple seed, rusty blood stains and tiny black fecal spots on mattress seams, pinhead-sized pale eggs, and itchy bites in lines or clusters. Around 85% of bed bugs are found in or near the bed.
Florida’s warm, humid climate lets bed bugs breed year-round, and Citrus County’s travel and rental activity means they are easily carried in on luggage, clothing, and secondhand furniture. It has nothing to do with how clean your home is.
Spotting any of these signs is, unfortunately, a pretty clear indication that you now have a problem with bed bugs. Luckily, with our support, there is no reason why this cannot be cleared up.
Usually not. Bed bugs do not permanently damage furniture, and our heat treatment penetrates mattresses, couches, and frames to kill bed bugs and eggs inside. After treatment, a deep clean removes any staining.
Bed bugs usually find their way into your property either on a person or from a nearby property. They can fit through the smallest, most minuscule of gaps. They also have no problem making their way into specific areas through floorboards, cracks in baseboards, and other gaps you might not even see. Bed bugs can also find their way in from other properties, which is why they are so common in apartments and stores.
The positive is that bed bugs do not carry disease, but their bites can be very painful and also run the risk of hurting your quality of sleep. This makes you feel more tired and lethargic. Regular bites will lead to consistent interruption when sleeping, which brings issues for you. In general, bed bugs are not a danger to your life – but they can be an indirect danger to your quality of life due to the loss of sleep quality.
Extremely – the average female bed bug can lay as many as five eggs in a single day. This means that for every bed bug you squash, potentially five more have been laid in that same day. As such, this is why bed bug extermination services are required to get rid of the problem.
Bed bugs are common in many forms, but across Florida, we typically deal with the tropical bed bug. These are brought over from South America and Asia, in the main, and tend to be very annoying to deal with. They are resistant to conventional bed bug treatment, for a start, but they love the heat and humidity of Florida. They also breed at a faster rate than most other species, accelerating their numbers.
Chemical treatments are sometimes preferred as they leave residual chemicals behind that can help to prevent future infestations—at least to some extent. However, those residual chemicals could have negative effects on people and pets alike. Also, chemicals are not good for the environment, and chemicals often need to be used more than once to have the same impact as heat treatment.
No, furniture impacted by bed bugs does not have to be thrown out or discarded. After you have had heat treatment for bed bugs in Citrus County carried out, have it cleaned with steam or by an upholstery cleaning specialist? This will ensure the furniture is safe to keep for the future.
Make no mistake about it: having bed bugs lingering around your property is a horrible experience. Bed bugs can be damaging to our quality of life, but they can also be an issue for your reputation. If you run a business in the hospitality sector, for example, having a reputation for having bed bugs is not a good thing at all. You should, therefore, look to contact a bed bug heat treatment specialist who can help you out.
That specialist is us. At BBE, we can ensure that you get all of the help and support you need to eradicate bed bugs for a minimum of 60 days. While infestations can always reoccur, we use treatment that kills off the entire current infestation. We also provide you with advice on the best ways to limit the risk of a new infestation starting again in the future. Contacting us for specialist support is highly recommended.
We will begin by inspecting your property and searching for bed bugs. As soon as we find proof of their presence, we will get to work on removing all of the bugs. This leaves you with complete peace of mind that the bed bugs have been exterminated, and you can get back to enjoying the quality of life—or business—that you had before the bed bugs made their presence known.
