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.
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.”
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 Howard County combination treatmentA technician works the room the way the bugs do — seams, frames, outlet housings, the underside of baseboards. If there is nothing there, we put that in writing and you do not buy a treatment.
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.

Not really, sir. We've been doing this for quite some time, and that's really the rate that it costs to do the heat treatment, which is a whole day treatment. We could potentially put you on a payment plan, something like that, if it would be helpful.
Answered on a call,
The earliest we have, because we've had a crazy couple of days, the earliest appointment I have in your area is Friday the 10th right now.
Answered by Dori on a call,
I talked with Chase, and yes, yes. Yeah, I was on for Kendall. She was supposed to be kind of secondary on the phones today and take it easy. And I was so busy on the phones, Chase had to call her because he's like, man, I'm waiting to get this done. And I was just phone call after another. So, yeah, so Chase updated me. I do know that we're going on with treatment. So Chase is treating it. The house. And you are having a bat bug company or a bat company come in Monday.
Answered by Dori on a call,
Of course, that's okay. And my name's Dory, okay? Don't make me feel older than I already am.
Answered on a call,
They are rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. So if they're rechargeable, there's a good chance that they're lithium-ion.

Answered on a call,
This is our own crew, on recorded calls about jobs in Howard County and nearby. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
The reason why I ask all these weird questions is our heat treatment is our trailer. So we need to get our trailer as close to your unit as humanly possible, and then we run hoses in, and then we attach our heat fans onto the hoses in your apartment and take care of that apartment condo, whatever it may be.
Have a 60-day guarantee that goes with that and to actually do our one day and done treatment for your home of about 32-3300 square foot it is $3,850.
Then there are items that we know can be harmed by the heat. So that is why we send you a big pre-treatment checklist. It's long, so we always suggest if you have the ability to print it off and then just highlight those items that pertain to you, it becomes a much smaller list.
If you do have any questions, I am here 7.30 a.m. till 7 p.m., seven days a week. So you just give me a call or shoot me a quick text message, more than happy to help. Oh, strip your beds and throw the bedding in the wash the morning of the treatment, and that way our technician will spray the mattress really good underneath on the sides, things like that, the box. offspring and everything. Okay.
We have plenty of time in your 60-day guarantee. So when you come back. Um, you know, I tell you what, that'll be a really good sign when everybody gets back in the home after the cruise. Okay. If there are any bedbugs that are there, they're going to be really hungry when you come back. We're going to know. Okay.
Bugs are not industrious, okay? They're not going to go, okay, where was I when they get your garage? They're just going to bite the next available skin. So it is really, really hard unless we see that very distinctive zigzag pattern or linear pattern and it's re-bite. Everybody presents a little differently. Some people don't have reactions right away.
We treat the whole home because that is the only way to be sure that we've eliminated all bedbugs and eggs. Bedbugs find their way into your home by hitchhiking. So when they come into your home, there's a very high probability that they have hitchhiked into other areas, even though you might not realize they're there yet.
Now what happens with spray canning is that they're only going to kill the ones on the surface. And sadly, with all that spraying, the other bedbugs that are there are now in the walls, and they could easily go to the units on either side.
You definitely want to, I mean, at your leisure. It doesn't all have to be done now, but one bag a week or whatever. Make sure you take it to the laundromat.
John, I have Chrissy. Okay. He's giving you a call back. He's like, he did not see my message. So, okay. So I'm sending another message. Hopefully he'll see that. Okay. All right. So what we do is a one day and done treatment.
My goodness. Oh, my goodness. Well, I know as I get older, my voice keeps getting deeper and rougher, so I'm not surprised. I am not surprised. All right, so when you call them, just the first person you speak to, just let them know you're looking for financial assistance for a bed bug treatment, okay?
To remove. The others, your TVs, your laptops, your computers, computer monitors, gaming stations, they are built to withstand the heat.
We have heavy blackout curtains and a temporary rod that we hook up in your door frame. So we leave the front door open so the hoses can go right in.
If you've already confirmed that there's bedbugs there, then if you're looking just for an inspection, there really isn't any point to that, in my opinion. You've already confirmed that there are bedbugs there. Unfortunately, they're not going to go away. They just don't go away. You probably already have eggs and within a couple of weeks, I mean, I'm not trying to scare you or anything here, man. I'm just trying to just lay out some facts for you. You've already confirmed you've found some bed bugs.
It is bed bug season right now. So I know in the two, so in South Florida, there's a big problem right now. It's very busy.
I'm not sure because it's very very rare that we have to come out for bed bugs which is why we need those images just to confirm that that is what we're dealing with.
You saw it outside or near the door of your room, so that's likely, you know, that's likely where they're focused. And I guess just by coincidence, you and your wife just aren't, are the types that don't react to it, react to the bites because.
Send pictures i am going to send you a quick text that says you can send pictures here and then you can share them and that way I can see them and it'll fall right under your name so we keep those pictures you know on your account so I just sent that to you so you should be getting that.
Want to put away all laundry and linens. When I say laundry, you know, put it away, I mean make sure it's hanging up or folded and just put away in a closet or something somewhere.
Boots on the ground, so hopefully we can confirm for you pretty quickly if it is bed bugs you're dealing with.
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 Howard 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.
