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.
It could potentially damage artwork. If you have oil paintings, those are the ones that we were most concerned about or that's the only ones that we're concerned about rather. If you have any oil paintings, we would recommend you take those off the wall and just place them into the garage while we're doing the heat treatment.
Answered by Mike on a call,
If you have three bedrooms, in order to make sure that we've gotten all the ones that you've seen so far and anywhere that they may have laid eggs, we do do a whole home treatment.
Answered on a call,
My goodness. Yes, things do happen. And again, I am so very sorry that they didn't notice it last year because you would have already been paid up and good and, you know. No.
Answered by Dori on a call,
We could get you in this Wednesday or this coming Saturday, this week. Those are only two appointments.
Answered by Dori on a call,
We have a 72-hour cancellation rescheduling policy. We are here over the weekend. So, you know, John just said.
Answered on a call,
I am actually in Seminole, Florida. I work remote. Our technicians come out of either Tampa Bay or Winter Garden.
Answered by Dori on a call,
This is our own crew, on recorded calls about jobs in Clarksburg and nearby. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
Don't leave it in the vacuum. Don't leave it in the indoor trash. Do not spray any chemicals. Don't put any chemical powders down or anything because you will spread the problem if you have a problem.
The treatment that we do is a combined treatment. We use a pesticide spray. We come into the apartment and we spray the interior perimeter of the apartment and closets and baseboards and door jams and windowsills. And then we use a heat treatment. We bring in an unmarked black trailer. It's a commercial piece of equipment that was designed specifically to eradicate bed bugs and their eggs. We run hoses and heaters and fans throughout the apartment to heat the apartment up to about 140 degrees.
Don't do the spray because it leaves people very frustrated and unhappy and after four or five sprays if they're still not gone you are very upset because you spent thousands of dollars so we do a one-day heat treatment guaranteed and I can give you a quote for that with your address and I'm going to but in the meantime be texting me this picture because if you don't have them How big is your house? I can just give you a range real quick.
It's, yeah, so if there has been an infestation in there. It's probably not best if it's within six months to have a canine dog. I think that's kind of throwing $400 to the wind because I believe the canine inspections are about $400.
Hotel room, hotel rooms do two things. If they're like a really big hotel that you can't run the heaters up that high because we use hoses, we would park it right in front like that. They might do preventative sprays where they just spray once a month. Or they might just block off that room.
One bed bug, if you're looking at one bed bug in your home, they bite every three to five days because once they drink our blood, it takes them three to five days to digest, and then as soon as they're digested, they come right back out, okay? So, and you said you saw the marks on...
People get bit. And then, of course, especially under their clothing, because the heat generates more, that will make the bites look worse because the heat is making them more sensitive as well.
If you need us, we are here for you before, during, and after treatment. So just give us a call. We're here seven days a week until 7 p.m.
They travel on us. So, you know, when we go from an infested room into a non-infested room, there's really good chance because they're so small that they're hitchhiking on us.
You brought your stuff in too. So it could have come in on your clothing. It could have come in on the kids clothing. It could have, they're so small, you know, I mean, it could have been around anyone. So right now, I would say you and your mom need to from top to bottom of that house, anything and everything that can be thrown in a high heat dryer for at least 40 minutes, do so.
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?
Daughter are right and your bites are from bed bugs that no one has seen yet, they will be multiplying and you will see them if you wait two more weeks.
That's what we do because bed bugs are hitchhikers. That's how they get into your home. They hitch on your clothing, shoes, bags. So once they get into your home, people usually don't realize they're dealing with bed bugs for a good month, sometimes longer. Within that time, there's a very high probability that they have hitchhiked into other areas. You just haven't realized it yet. So we do the whole home to make sure we get every single bed bug and egg in our one day and done treatment.
That is the heat treatment of Unit 114, the spraying of the Unit 113 and 115 and the two common areas sprayed.
Let me get with Victor and then I will get back with you and we'll figure out when we can get out and respray in the next couple of days. Okay.
Then, okay, that's just not going to work with my schedule because I have guests coming in on Friday. So it's like my window is from today till Thursday.
I hate to say it, but usually if you're seeing three, you're having them more, you know. You don't see them all at the same time. They hide until they're hungry. So that's when you see them or when they come out to bite you, you either see them coming to get you, biting you or leaving after biting you, you know, and they they love to hide in between times. So I just sent you a text saying you can send pictures here. So send me what you have.
Not a lot of people need us. So to spend money on broad advertising is kind of difficult. We do focus our advertising in the villages on the internet. And if you say, hey, I'm in the villages and I have bedbugs, our ads will show up and Okay. we do a pretty brisk business there.
On the client relations I'm the one that goes between the technicians and the customer and the technicians can take care of our customers if the technicians were always on the phone then nobody would get rid of their bed bugs okay so
To be at the Airbnb or at the property unless there's no way for them to get in. I mean, how do you let the renters get in?

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 Clarksburg 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. Clarksburg is inside our service area, worked out of our Bethesda office, about a 34-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 Clarksburg sits roughly 34 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 Clarksburg. 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.
