Local record
Bed Bug Exterminator is active in Hollywood, with 1 completed job on the local record.
The page also includes 8 questions answered on recorded calls and 20 crew call excerpts.
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, 2 of them from Hollywood and the area we cover from here, 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.
You sure can, yeah, if one agency pledges because they're not associated with each other. The area agency on aging is kind of an umbrella. Okay.
Answered by Dori on a call,
It will automatically shoot right back to our system so our system knows that you've sent it and it won't harass you.
Answered by Dori on a call,
The box and things. They actually use risers and lift the mattresses and box springs up so that heat flows. thoroughly around the mattresses and box springs, we take the cushions off of your chairs and your couches and stand those up so the heat is going thoroughly around those. And we also, as I said, with our pesticide spray with growth inhibitor, we very carefully spray underneath and inside all furniture.
Answered by Dori on a call,
It's based on that and plus it's on the second floor, so we normally have to charge a little bit more for a unit that's on the second floor.
Answered by Mike on a call,
Our soonest availability would be on Tuesday at 8 a.m. Now it is like I said one and done so the home just has to be vacant for that 10 to 12 hours as to where if you would like a different route they usually have to come spray and then they'll spray again in two to three weeks and another two to three weeks they spray a third time and they're hoping to catch them on the hatching cycle so it's kind of a long drawn-out process ours is just one and done. so it would just have to be vacant on the day of treatment.
Answered on a call,
Certainly. What I can do is reach out to the owners to see if we can work out a payment plan.
Answered on a call,
What I'm asking, it was the next night that you got at least another good six bites.
Answered by Dori on a call,
Ma'am I'm not a I'm not a technician I'm just here on the call just get
Answered by Charles on a call,
This is our own crew, on recorded calls about jobs in Hollywood and nearby. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
We have treated people with other problems. I do just want to say being that we are bed bug exterminators, we only guarantee for the bed bugs. But when we come in and do a treatment, we wipe out pretty much everything that crawls on the floor back. But I do want to say we only guarantee our work for bed bugs.
Tuesday the 30th. Okay. Now, we do ask that there is some prep that customers do to their home to prepare for treatment. So let me ask you, do you have a lot of floor clutter, things on the floor piled up?
When our technicians are there, they are going to take our proprietary blend of pesticide spray and they're going to spray the perimeter of each and every single room, each and every single closet. They will spray very carefully and strategically underneath all furniture and inside of the furniture as well, very carefully.
We have a 60 day guarantee. Okay. And with that 60 day guarantee, what we do is ask to ask the customer if you see something to say something. Okay. I don't think you guys haven't been dealing with this for a while.
We price about the same. So with that, we raise the temperature up to 140 degrees, and we hold it there for hours in your home.
Now, what that would mean is that everyone would have to be out of the home for three hours while the spray dries. So today at one would be better if people can swing it.
With it being warm and summer warm, it's hot in Florida now, so all the bugs are out of hibernation. And it could be a chigger or a no-see-em or fleas, sand fleas. They bite very similar to bed bugs. So any evidence that you can get me, the pictures of your bite, the pictures of whatever it is you found and the staining, we can help determine for free over the phone if it's bed bugs or not. I mean, our inspections are $300.
That there's an encasement on the mattress that has been in place for a while, so he did not remove it to check the mattress.
Would have to check the calendar and your location where if we know it's bedbugs, we don't if we know it's a bedbug, we don't have to come out. We'll work on getting you treatment. But let's figure out if it's a bedbug first because nobody's getting bit. So let's just see what, you know, we'll be able to tell.
That comes with a 60-day guarantee we know if it's bed bugs and we can keep you Bed bugs free for 60 days, this infestation is over, but we do want to try and confirm if bed bugs is what you're dealing with. Mites are really bad right now.
We guarantee our heat and spray treatment. I would have to check with our owners. to see if we guaranteed without the spray. What the spray does is it creates a protective barrier around your home and lasts for well over a month. So if there is a wayward bed bug that maybe you bring back in within the 60 days, you know, something like that, then it crosses that growth inhibitor and it messes with their DNA. It stops them from feeding. And if they can't feed, they can't grow.
What I want you to do is call the ADRC hotline, the helpline, okay? Explain the whole situation to them and hopefully they will be able to help you. They could probably help you with a home health care worker that comes in to check on you, maybe even somewhere to go if you need to get your house treated again. I mean, so many different things, okay? So if you call and you leave a voicemail, then they will call you back, but sometimes it takes a while.
It's going to have to be Tuesday. I'm so sorry because he... One of the burners went out on one of our trailers, so we're now down a trailer. I know, I know. So I was hoping that I would hear really good news that they worked out the problem with the burner, but they're ordering another one and they probably won't have it until Monday. But Tuesday I have an available trailer whether that one's fixed or not. And that's our heat system. So, you know, we can't go without those.
There are so many elderly people, it breaks my heart, that they will not ask for help, and they will live with bedbugs for months, if not years, because they're too embarrassed.
Way that's ready to go. Before you put them in the carrier, then you'll just want to brush them really good. Bed bugs really don't want to feed on animals unless there's no humans around, but they are hitchhikers. They will cling onto the fur accidentally.
This is the best way that we know. Also, it wouldn't take long. We do a one-in-done day. So, literally, we'll start at 8 in the morning, and we'll finish around 5 or 6, and you're able to go back into your house around 8 that night compared to our competitors.
We saw the load of laundry. We saw the stuff. I mean, you saw the pictures. So we saw the stuff that was in her home. He took a lot of stuff out and did five loads of laundry. I'll be more than happy to call her and talk to her.
Not even just high risk areas. You know, it usually takes a good month, if not two months, for people to realize what they're dealing with. And bedbugs are hitchhikers. That's how they get into your home. And without knowing that's what they're dealing with, those bedbugs can easily hitchhike out of the home with them and go everywhere they go.
They'll be perfectly fine, you know, for the day because you'll be there that evening. Let me see. Your oven and your dishwasher are heat resistant. So small items. That could melt that you're trying to get out of the heat treatment area can easily go in the oven or the dishwasher. Just remember you're putting things in there. That could be, yeah, don't turn anything on. That could be loose. Free standing candlesticks. If they have candles in jars, not a big deal. The jar contains the melted wax, but if they're candlesticks, pillars, tapers, they will melt. Okay?
Also understand because it ultimately it's your property. You just want to make sure everything was done properly in the right way. And we always do tell them, you know, even on the contract, you have to notify the actual owner or management company if it's like an apartment home because that, you know, that is something that we do take seriously as well. So I definitely will.
Every Hollywood job we quote and complete is logged with a date, zip and crew note. The counts and notes below come from that record — this is the real work history for the city, not a claim.
Why choose us
We kill bed bugs. Only bed bugs. One method, done right, in a single visit — heat and a residual product together, on every job we run.
Unmarked vehicles and personnel
No logos, and no mention of bed bugs on trucks, equipment or uniforms. Neighbours see a van; they do not see why it is there.
Total peace of mind
Sixty days of cover on every job. Should bed bugs survive the treatment, which is rare, we come back out and eliminate the problem for good 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.”
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 Hollywood 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.
Driving distance from Hollywood. Routed by proximity — cities closer to another BBE office are served from there.
Outside these zips? Our Hollywood routes reach well past the city line — call anyway.

Yes. Hollywood is inside our service area, worked out of our Bradenton office, about a 250-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 Hollywood sits roughly 250 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 Hollywood. 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.
