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.
We do ask that clothing be hung up in the closet or folded up in the dressers. Now, that being said, if they have a lot of excess, and I'm not just talking clothing, but any kind of fabric items that are laying around, it is always best to take those and run them through a high heat dryer for at least 40 minutes.
Answered by Dori on a call,
We have to do the heat treatment now. In the United States, we almost had them totally eradicated about 30 years ago. And then I think because international travel got really popular again and then couch surfing and of course you have hotels and then Airbnbs and Virbos now you know there's so many more people traveling but you don't have to travel you can go to your church you can go to work and if someone is dealing with bed bugs and is not educated about them knowing that they will cling cling on to their clothing and go with them anywhere they go that these people spread them they don't realize that they are spreading bed bugs you know wherever they go and you know then we sit down in an area and sadly bring them home with us you know easy to do right now it's very sad that it's you know that easy Hopefully we're trying to eradicate America. We're trying to kill them one house at a time.
Answered by Dori on a call,
I don't know where you're looking, but we have tons of five-star reviews, but we have our own marketing company, so thank you for your concern,
Answered on a call,
You can just call the same number that you did, the same number that you sent those pictures to.
Answered by Mike on a call,
I don't have any ODP with you, which is our management service.
Answered by Victor on a call,
What other phone number do you use, though? I'll pull up your other account.
Answered by Dori on a call,
This is our own crew, on recorded calls about jobs in Jessup and nearby. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
I'll talk to Chase, I'll get with our owners, but they're going to say after this long, you need another heat treatment. And yes, my bad that I didn't push another heat treatment on you a couple of months ago after our guarantee was over, but we were hoping another respray would fix you on us for free.
We will heat treat the furniture. It is strong enough to penetrate mattresses, even walls and outlets, any clothing items, things like that. So you don't have to get rid of the mattresses.
Then, because if, and what you'll also want to do is concentrate on where her luggage is, where she set her luggage down to unpack. Okay. If she put clean clothes right back into the closet or right back into the dresser, that makes a little more work because everything should really come out of the closet or the dresser that she put clothes in and run those all through the high heat dryer, vacuum the dressers and the closets out really well. And then...
We know that 60-day guarantee is going to make sure that we have taken care of this whole infestation. And yeah, with the... Go ahead. Go ahead.
Be able to treat you for another seven days after that because legally with pesticide companies you are not supposed to go in and treat at least seven to ten days after someone has been treated we couldn't even come back in if we came in Monday we would have to wait to come back in and retreat you because
Temperature is going to get really, really, really hot in there. We want you to take plants and pets out of the house. We don't want to leave any pets or any plants inside the house. If you have any plants, you can just take them out and put them on a porch or a backyard or in a porch.
A good idea, you continue with the vacuuming, okay? What I was going to have you do first is really check out the headboard, the mattress, the box springs.
We do a combined pesticide and a heat treatment. Generally speaking, the cost is about, and it usually lands somewhere between $1,600 and $2,400.
It and he's like, it's just not heating up back there, then we'll just have to spray it. But it's going to get sprayed either way. If it's just regular windows, it should be fine.
You can. Okay. If it's clean, and as a matter of fact, because you know there's bed bugs and eggs on it, right now I would just throw it into a high heat dryer. Don't stuff the dryer full. You need those clothes to aerate. Okay. In that dryer, you put it on a high heat dryer for at least 40 minutes. It's going to kill the bed bugs and eggs.
Definitely. If you have any other questions between now and then, don't hesitate to either text that number or give us a call. And then when you're calling around, that's certainly, you know, something that we understand. Just make sure to tell you if they're going to do a spray versus heat and then what type of heat that is, you know, because I think there's only one other company that does heat assault and the price is probably relatively the same. But yeah.
I'll send you a really quick link. It's Bed Bug Exterminator. And I will just send that to you right now. And let me see.
You Chuck nope it's all right it's all right thank you we were prepared we knew we were walking into a clean home you know and this is probably not the worst we've seen okay so all right absolutely I'll talk to you later
Now, when you get that far and you find something disruptive enough that you don't notice that you did, you come back to me, we finish filling out your profile, you make sure you have the contact name and email address, and I will create a formal quote for you and we'll go back to them because they'll approve it. Okay.
You're just going to know because you're getting the new bites and then we don't have to inspect then you know so I would just play the waiting game if that's my advice I just somebody else
Certainly. Can you send us pictures of the bites that you have? Because that would help us be able to identify if those are bed bug bites. You can send them to this number here.
I'm not sure what happened there. I was saying that they should be able to do that the same day. Yes. So while your home is heating up, once they run the hoses in, they should be able to do that at the same time.
If so, we would just ask you to call them and put it in test mode for the day so, you know, we don't drive your neighbors crazy when the alarms go off.
We don't have a big dancing bed bug, anything on the truck, you know, and neighbors will not know what's going on in your home. When our technician first arrives, he'll answer any questions that you have, and then he'll get started work at 8 a.m. It is an all-day treatment, so we need all people, all pets out of the home from 8 a.m. to no later than 8 p.m. We usually have you back. back home about 6, 630, okay?
There are some things that it can damage. So with regards to like pictures, or actually it's paintings. So original oil paintings, those would, when it gets hot, that paint can tend to run or at least can get messy. And so we would want to remove original oil paintings from the property, okay?

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 Jessup 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 Jessup. Routed by proximity — cities closer to another BBE office are served from there.

Yes. Jessup is inside our service area, worked out of our Bethesda office, about a 38-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 Jessup sits roughly 38 minutes from our Bethesda 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 Jessup. 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.
