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.

No other pests, ever
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.

| Reaches hidden voids | Bugs flee deeper | Limited | Yes |

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.

We give the caller's first name, or their postcode where we do not have one, and never their surname, address or phone number.
Most pantry items are fine to stay right where they are. We suggest foods like chocolate. Put them in the fridge. Breads will get dry and hard. Put those in the fridge. Medicines in the fridge. So we give you a pre-treatment checklist and we go over the prep for you and with you.
Answered by Dori on a call,
We didn't refer anyone so I don't know where that information came from we don't have anyone we refer for that um but you or or Cory could do just or Cody excuse me could do just a google search and find someone in her area that does a canine inspection okay
Answered by Dori on a call,
Now, what will happen, as I said, we promise to have you back in the home before 8 p.m., but that is usually, you know, we say 8 p.m. just in case. Okay, goodness. Let me see if I can get this video now.
Answered on a call,
I can certainly take a look at your address to see if you're close by to one of our locations.
Answered on a call,
On you. Yeah, they normally feed on you and reproduce. That's pretty much how they survive.
Answered on a call,
We're doing, okay, just that next Friday. Absolutely, we can do that.
Answered by Dori on a call,
This is our own crew, on recorded calls about jobs in Hardee County and nearby. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
She can go inside her community. That's a good thing. Yes, because with our heat treatment and with our spray, she needs to be out of the home from 8 a.m. till about 6.30 p.m. It's an all-day treatment, and that's the only way you can get all the bedbugs and the eggs. Now, with the hoarding situation, the more...
Now, 18 and it is a one day and done treatment. We give you a 60 day guarantee. So if by chance we've missed something, which is extremely rare, then we come back out within those 60 days and we take care of it and there's no additional cost.
Now, the people that just say are going to say the heat is not effective. The people that just do heat are going to say the spray is not effective.
We but we also follow up with it's called a heat treatment we do this to the same day after we do the pesticide spray We bring it's a, how can I say this? It's like a commercially built piece of equipment. It's a trailer. It's designed specifically to eradicate bed bugs. Now this is Okay. an unmarked trailer. It's very discreet. So, you know, neighbors wouldn't know anything other than maybe we're just cleaning carpets.
Bedbugs will nest behind baseboards and in wall outlets where you can't see them. They don't just hang out on the bed. They'll be around living room furniture, you know, bedrooms, things like that. So that's why we treat the whole home so we don't have to show up once a week, you know, and chase those bedbugs around your house.
What we do is um what we do is we actually bring equipment to where we affix affix an ice pack and koozie on each of the sprinkler heads because we raise the temperature up to 140 degrees. The sprinkler system is all throughout the building as you know. If one sprinkler goes off they all go off throughout the whole building. So we have to prepare each sprinkler head individual.
On the morning of the treatment and In this case, it would probably start around 10 o'clock in the morning just because you guys are about an hour and a half away from our nearest team. So we would probably start around 10 o'clock in the morning. So you would pay the remainder then when the technician gets there.
It in a jar, put it in the Ziploc bag, something that you can have it there so you can get a really good, clear, close-up picture for us and send it to us, and we will confirm whether it's a bed bug or whether it's something else, and we will help you narrow it down, okay, what's going on in your home.
We do get a 60-day I don't know if we talked about that we get a 60-day guarantee okay so um I'm thinking this is an early infestation this is the first time you've heard about it right okay
Checking in on them. And yep, and we helped them out by drying up their homes after the hurricane. It helps with mold remediation and everything. It's powerful. And I guess we were. You know, even as a heat treatment price for bedbugs, it was a lot cheaper than having someone come out for mold remediation, and it was a company they already trusted, you know, they're home to, you know, so it was it was a perfect fit, we were happy to help. We were very happy to help.
This is a new infestation because if we treat it in September and we missed any at all, the second treatment even, you would have seen them way before now. They would be out of control. You would be seeing them by like, you know. I don't know, three months for sure, it would be like holy cow, yeah. You know within two or three weeks. So what you need to do is figure out how they're getting back in. Someone is bringing them back in.
I am sorry we could not take care of you with the heat treatment.
Doing my job on this side we can go in at the same time you can go in a little bit later today just again while it's fresh in your mind it's best to do it and that way you can go on with your life so Victor will be your technician he'll be there at 8 a.m.
I wasn't talking about the dog. I was talking about dinner time for more people, you know, average about 6, 6.30. We started 8 a.m. We say we will have you back home by 8 p.m. That's to give a window in case we're doing a large house and it takes a little bit longer. But your home is under 1,600 square foot, so you should be able to get back home about 6 or 6.30 in the evening. Excuse me.
What we would do if after that first week it continues we're coming back out okay now now good news with something like that it's not going to be an all-day treatment we just come out and respray and that usually just nips that last little problem in the bud and we're good to go okay so what is your first name
Can Friday. actually Wednesday is booked but I can get Chase out to do an inspection tomorrow If you want, I'll have to check with him. I know he's working on one of the trailers when I don't have a book for a job. He's, you know, working on our trailers, keeping our equipment in tip-top shape. So let me reach out to him and I can find out what time frame he would be available to do an inspection for you tomorrow.
Are $200. So if we can help you online and save you $200. To find out it's not a bed bug issue, we would rather do that for you than just take your money and then your negative for bed bugs, you know, and then it's $200 that you've just spent.
I would just have to check with the higher ups because it can be a system glitch. So if you don't mind, I will give you a call back in two minutes. I just want to talk to someone higher up just to make sure.
For the day on the back porch or drink it tonight, you know, while you're prepping the house.
I suggest you take a look at your home. Any floor clutter, we need to deal with it. If it needs to be thrown out, throw it out. Okay, if you've been wanting to throw it out and just have it yet, if it's something that someone else may want and will take it from the trash. break it. If it has upholstery on it, slash it. You know, we don't want to spread the bed bug love, 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 Hardee 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.
