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.

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.

Written findingsSame-week slotsNo pressure
Book an inspectionShared walls move bed bugs between units, so treating one apartment in isolation rarely holds. We coordinate with property managers on access, prep notices and adjoining units.

Wonderful that's wonderful because they should and i don't know what they do on cruise ships we've done everything but a cruise ship i think I don't know if they would actually take the chance to, you know, while the ship is in port, do a heat treatment or if they just spray. They probably just spray, thinking it will take care of the issue. And that is not the case.
Answered by Dori on a call,
Hi, how are you doing, Norma? This is Charles with Bed Bugs Exterminators. I'm just giving you a call just to confirm. I have read your message on Thumbtack and I do see a open available.
Answered by Chase on a call,
I was going to say if you don't need to replace it or, you know, living room furniture, things like that, a lot of people just start chucking things out the door, you know, and it's like we can save all that for you with a good heat treatment. You know, the heat treatment can save all your furniture. But if it's something that you've wanted to replace anyways, you go ahead and replace it. I do suggest waiting until after treatment, though. And that way, if you put it out by the side of the road and somebody takes it home with them, they're not taking bedbugs home.
Answered by Dori on a call,
Assault and battery, heat assault system, which is the latest state-of-the-art technology.
Answered by Dori on a call,
At 960 square footage, I can get you in for $1,800 and I can have you there.
Answered by Charles on a call,
That's why I told you Monday is the first day we can get to you.
Answered by Dori on a call,
This is our own crew, on recorded calls about jobs in Glades County and nearby. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
Want to vacuum anything and everything that cannot go in that high heat dryer. Okay. And then immediately after vacuuming, you want to use a grocery bag and bag that vacuum dirt up and get it out of your house as quickly as you can. Okay.
Need to be, again, if items are clean, they don't need to be washed. Just run through a high heat dryer. So what we do is a heat treatment, and that is what you need to get rid of all bedbugs and eggs in a one-day-and-done treatment, okay? So, I'm sorry?
Their calendar doesn't stay booked because they don't follow through we have had to do heat treatments for people that paid bed bugs froze a couple thousand dollars to do a heat treatment and when there was still an issue they tried to get them to come back out and fix it and they didn't Okay,
Their eggs too which is the most important thing because pesticides alone do not kill the eggs so the heat though will absolutely cook those eggs they'll be dead and there's almost no way they can survive that Uh, so, um, while we're doing that treatment, there cannot be any pets or people or plants inside the mobile home.
Know Tiffany I'm sorry so listen what you're going to want to do I would suggest stop spraying okay and putting powders down what you want to do is use your dryer and you want to use your vacuum cleaner okay you want to anything fabric the stuffed animals even run it through a washing machine for at least 40 minutes it will kill any bed bugs or eggs that are on those items and if you don't need them right now bag them up in brand new garbage bags
What we do here, we're not a general pest control company, so we are focused strictly on eliminating, eradicating bed bugs in their eggs. The way that we do that is with a combined treatment. We use a pesticide spray. We come to your house and we will spray the interior perimeter of your home. With a pesticide spray, we spray around the baseboards, around windowsills, door jams, inside closets.
We have to do the heat treatment now. In the United States, we almost had them totally eradicated about 30 years ago.
We are family-owned and operated business. So the way it works is if on day 62, let's say, you know, dad's experiencing bites, he's seeing evidence of bed bugs, we would still come out and treat at no cost to him. It's, you know, we have a 60-day guarantee because it is long enough to see evidence if you're still having issues, but it is also to where if somebody's reinfesting.
It could be, you know, it could be bed bugs, but also it is warming up and it's Florida. Everything wants to bite us in Florida. I've come to just the realization that everything wants to bite us or eat us. Okay.
Then we still go to 60 days because we want you to have the peace of mind we're not trying to get out of the street we want to take care of it and if it's 61 days we're not you know we're not treating We're not trying to rip anybody off.
You're you're a little jammed up and it's it's unfortunate but i mean Yeah, honestly, man, as I said, I don't think you have any choice but to treat your home because you need to give a letter to Airbnb to say that it was treated, that it's bed bug free and we guarantee our work and we have this letter already done because we've done it for Airbnb plenty of time. But yeah, I mean, the fact that you have a video of a bed bug crawling on your bed, that's as indisputable as it gets in the bed bug world.
That happens a lot, usually because when it depends on people's routines, sometimes they come home after work or traveling or wherever they've been, and their routine is to sit down on the couch, take their shoes off, drop their bag right there.
If the sprays, the sprays will only kill the ones it hits. And not all of them will be on the surface at the same time. Bed bugs hide nine times out of ten. They only come out when they want to feed. And that's every three to five days.
Hate to think that that happened to her, but if we're looking at it strategically and then when she comes home, she takes them off right there. So you destroyed the ones that came out of her shoes today.
That might be a problem then because if the air conditioning is on in the garage and it's attached to the house, that feeder may be fighting the air conditioner to heat the house up.
Could cause harm to your home. So we want those totally out of the house. You could put them in the garage. You could put them on the back porch. You can even put them in a box on the front porch, you know, just as long as they're out of the house.
It could be the bugs last year were something else and just now you're getting bed bugs because those things multiply fast. I mean, a year into it, you're talking nightmare material by then.
If they're exoskeletons, that means they've been there for a little while because it takes like two to three feedings for a bed bug to go from one size to another, and that's when they shed their exoskeletons.
It's possible the behavior you're describing sounds like it could be bedbugs. If those bites aren't coming a whole bunch at one time, but just a few at a time, that sounds like bedbugs.
Just going, you know, traveling out of the country and finding them. You can go to the doctor's office, the movie theater. You can take an Uber. A friend can come over and they not realize that that's what they're dealing with at home. Bedbugs are hitchhikers. They do not migrate from house to house. They hitchhike home with you. They cling on to clothing, shoes, backpacks. They don't. They don't care. And they don't care how you keep your home. Okay.
The problem with bed bugs is that they are some of the hardiest pests around. They can survive in high heat and humid conditions, which is why heat has to be held for as long as it is. They move through the smallest cracks and crevices and stick easily to furniture, luggage, and clothing. Given they are so small, we do not notice them until they are legion.
If you want to get rid of bed bugs in Glades County, you must pay close attention to where they appear. In a household, they could have been brought in by a visitor, by yourself when staying elsewhere, or made their way in through a connected property.
Bed bugs get around with consummate ease and breed at a dizzying rate, so a small collection can soon become an infestation occupying many or all of your rooms. For business owners, a guest could have brought them in, or a delivery shipment, or new furniture.
We often assume that bed bugs only stick to beds or old, smelly furniture. Bed bugs do not care whether furniture, bedding, or properties are clean or dirty. They are here for one thing only — blood. They are just as easily found in an immaculate five-star hotel as in an old, second-hand bed.
