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, 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.
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,
Ma'am, we sure don't. We are in Florida, but our sister company handles Michigan and some areas of Indiana and Ohio. I wish I knew somebody up in Virginia that could take care of you.
Answered by Dori 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,
The size of truck, now I can't do Monday, but I do have Tuesday available.
Answered by Dori on a call,
Hi, this is Victoria with Bed Bug Exterminator. I was calling to speak with James.
Answered on a call,
This is our own crew, on recorded calls about jobs in Homestead and nearby. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
We do a combination heat and spray treatment. So the heat nails the bedbugs and the eggs in a one-day and done treatment, and the spray that we use leaves a protective barrier around your home, okay, for at least a good month.
You don't have to get rid of your mattress. You can keep them. The actual, the heat will kill any bugs that are on the mattress. You'd probably want to like maybe vacuum the mattress. I would do that after the bed bug, like after we treat.
Do the treatment. So don't sit on the couch. Okay. Make sure you're really vacuuming that couch really, really well. And if there is any furniture close to the couch, I would say don't. If you have a family room.
That's gonna qualify for the minimum. All right, so what we do is a heat treatment. I don't know if you know anything about treating bedbugs yet, depends on how far into this you are.
About like treatment options, really there's only one like guaranteed solution to get rid of them and it's a heat treatment. But we actually combine a pesticide treatment along with the heat treatment. So we come into the house and we spray a pesticide barrier around the interior perimeter of the home and then we follow up with a heat treatment. And so that heat treatment. We bring a, it's a commercially built trailer.
If you just go in and spray Even if it's a professional company, even if we went in and just sprayed for you We could not guarantee you get all of them, you know, and we could force them into another room So that's a perfect
Everybody knows heat rises first. So all the ceilings, all the tops of your closets, the tops of your shelves are going to get that solid heat first. They're going to get a really, really good.
You don't need to bag up your clothes. You don't need to take anything out. As a matter of fact, we don't want you taking anything out of the house because you could be potentially bringing bedbugs back if you take anything out of the house.
Then give us that information and then I will do a nice formal quote for them and email it out to them. Now those agencies pay us directly. When they do pledge, they usually pledge 50% of a heat treatment. So if you're given two, three phone numbers, call them all. Because depending on, you know, if you're lucky enough to get two agencies that pledge 50%, you've got a bed bug treatment for zero dollars.
I'll say this, you know, based on my experience with the bedbugs, you would normally see evidence of bedbugs within a few weeks of the heat treatment, like if it was not successful. And I think that you said that we went out there and we sprayed again, but normally you would see within a couple of weeks, it wouldn't take a few months before you'd start seeing them again. Because that's just how their eggs will hatch within six to ten days after being laid.
Of your bedding any clothes that are laying around run them through a high heat dryer for at least 40 minutes and
I believe Richard. I'm sorry. It's Richard that's doing your treatment. He'll Okay. take really good care of your home. Yeah, he will.
I was just going to say sometimes we can tell if it's bed bug bites. Most of the time we can't, but hey, at least we can give it a try.
That is a decision I can't make for you because we only treat bed bugs. So if you're seeing any other bugs, I would say call him.
Because we would need an exact count. on those sprinkler heads. We can't, a lot of the times it's too expensive to have the company come out and turn off that sprinkler system. So it is easier for us to manually prepare them so they can go through the heat treatment and not soak everything in your home, you know, so they don't get turned off. Okay, so what is the actual address, Alejandro?
We're going to spray the baseboards and all around the perimeter of the home so the windowsills and close to the walls so make sure that there's nothing right up against the wall you want to pull everything out as much as you can it doesn't have to all be pulled out because they have long the wands that they use to administer the spray they're pretty long and they'll be able to reach behind whatever they need to reach behind as long as there's nothing very secure.
It is a reflection on how you keep home, okay? No reflection on your cleanliness or anything like that. Bedbugs are opportunists. They are hitchhikers. And if they can come home and set up house with you, they will do so.
Your 60-day guarantee is up, okay? So what I want you to do is just stay vigilant.
They do love soft cushy fabrics, stuffed animals, blankets, bedding, clothing, you know, but they will find themselves in hard items as well. Bed bugs are opportunistic. They really are. They're opportunistic hitchhikers. They don't migrate from house to house. You actually have to go somewhere.
I will touch base with him. I will ask, where did he get the laundry? Was it the one, the big.

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.

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 Homestead 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.
Rentals turn over faster than owner-occupied homes, and turnover is how an infestation arrives.
Driving distance from Homestead. Routed by proximity — cities closer to another BBE office are served from there.
Outside these zips? Our Homestead routes reach well past the city line — call anyway.

Yes. Homestead is inside our service area, worked out of our Bradenton office, about a 289-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 Homestead sits roughly 289 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 Homestead. 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.
