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.

|---|---|---|---|
| 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.

Measured across 44 call-backs where a caller in Largo did not reach us first time; nine in ten were returned within 40 minutes. Counts come from our own phone record. No caller is identified.
Every question below was asked by a real caller on a recorded call, 2 of them from Largo 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.
We start at 8 a.m. in the morning and we promise to have you back in the home no later than 8 p.m. that same day.
Answered by Dori on a call,
That's what's available right now. I don't know what a book and you will need to do a little bit of prep.
Answered by Julie on a call,
We can work, we can treat apartments and that's not a problem. As long as we are talking with the apartment owner or the managers that can give us approval, then that shouldn't be an issue.
Answered by Mike on a call,
Absolutely. And then all we need is somebody to let us in at 8 a.m. and then, yeah, 8 a.m. and then they're good to go on their day.
Answered by Dori on a call,
We've had a couple of, yeah, we've had, you know, several leads that I'm not sure if they've turned into a successful sale or not.
Answered by Mike on a call,
Absolutely, you let us know if you see. If you see any form, take good, clear, close-up pictures.
Answered by Dori on a call,
We do not. We deal strictly in bedbugs, so no termite work here.
Answered by Dori on a call,
I just want to say if she's coming back tonight, is anyone coming home with her?
Answered by Dori on a call,
This is our own crew, on recorded calls about jobs in Largo and nearby. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
We have an inspector come in and inspect thoroughly the bedrooms, the living rooms, family rooms and areas. But if found positive for bed bugs, that goes towards the treatment cost. Okay, that's credited.
The one thing that we can't do is going to be garages that are not finished, so they have to have A so for the heat treatment we can do a spray treatment for the garage for the like the
Anything that you do not need, immediately take it out of the dryer, bag it up in a brand new garbage bag, set it in the bathroom for right now. Get it out of your way, okay? If people have multiple pillows on the bed, one pillow per person right now. You need to have just what is needed out. Okay.
I know you've been in the hotel industry and you know bed bugs but everything that you've sent me pictures of Didn't have any bed bugs in it, so I need bed bug proof because we only guarantee for bed bugs, as I mentioned to you a couple times.
I would say if you need to go through those bags very carefully pull what you need out and then run those through the high heat dryer and then maybe put items that you don't need for a long time in one and then items that you need sooner in another and that way you can get to that sooner at your leisure with
Do okay okay okay so again shopping around you want to ask what kind of heat treatment the second question you want to ask is what is the highest temperature you go to if they do anything over 145 degrees that can cause you home damage We know with the heat assault and being able to heat up the home three times faster than anybody else, we do the same job at a lower temperature and no home damage and get all the bedbugs in it, okay? So be careful shopping around.
As I said, I might have this coming Sunday, June 31st, May 31st available, but I definitely have June 2nd available. It just depends on how much prep they have in their home. Okay.
I understand totally. Okay. So, all right. So, with prep, I will send you, hold on a second, let me get in here. And I just want to have both of. Your profile is open so I can get everything onto one. It just makes it easier, less confusion.
That way you've got it to protect yourself and we have a 60-day guarantee. So if anything should happen within that 60-day guarantee, if it's a cleaning crew, if it's a guest, tell them to get pictures, send it to us as quickly as possible and we will get out there and nip that very, very small little residual problem in the bud.
Carpet beetles. Now, carpet beetles do not bite us, but carpet beetle larva, they have very fine hairs all over the larva to protect them from predators. When they touch us, it looks like bites or small cluster rashes. So, you know, it could be many different things, okay? So we want to make sure what it is, and then we'll go from there.
The spray is not going to kill them. So you need to be really careful when you do dispose of it. Are you taking it directly to the dump or are you putting it for the outdoor trash?
That's wonderful. That's wonderful. Well, with bed bugs, please don't spray. Don't do any spray. Don't do any powder. You will spread the issue. Okay. And you'll only kill a few. and it prolongs the issue too. So, okay.
Where the... Well, sorry. Okay. All right. So if it is bedbugs, bedbugs feed every three to five days. Okay. So if, for example, you have one bedbug in your home. They would come out, if you didn't mess with them, they would come out, they would feed. It's usually in a three-bite pattern. They call it breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sometimes it's a zigzag pattern. Sometimes it's a straight line pattern. But other times if somebody moves throughout their sleep.
I didn't think so, I didn't think so. So you should be good to go as is and not have to do any trash on the room.
A lot of people are dealing with bed bugs. You know, they think, okay, let me get rid of the bed. Let me get rid of the mattress. But bed bugs hitchhike their way into their home, okay?
Even if you did it really, really lightly with bed bug feces, it would stain. I mean, it's already stained, you know, if they're leaving feces on your pillowcases or bed or mattress topper, you know, it would stain. So when you use the... The roller, it picks everything up, right?
What we usually recommend if it's so we just ask no piles of dirty laundry, but his clothing items and closets and dressers are fine to stay.
Ma'am. You don't need to do that. I mean, if you have any fruits and vegetables that are just like on the kitchen countertop, I Okay. would put those in the refrigerator.
Doing his treatment all night long, plus he had one yesterday as well. So he did a double. So he's done. But, you know.
On the books kind of penciled in for Saturday it might work really well that he gets in there and resprays and then just heads on up and takes care of our other clients so we have a couple different options

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.

Treatment is priced by the size of the home, starting at an $1,800 minimum, so most Largo homes run somewhere between about $1,800 and $2,800. There are no surprise per-room fees, and we go over the exact price with you by phone first. See the full pricing breakdown.
The reliable way to kill bed bugs at every life stage, including the eggs that store-bought sprays tend to miss, is our combination treatment. We pair Heat Assault thermal heat, which kills the bugs on contact, with a residual spray that keeps working for weeks afterward to catch anything that survives. You can see the temperatures that kill bed bugs in full.
While heat treatment will kill off bed bugs of all shapes and sizes, they are hardy creatures that can shrug off the heat of an ordinary hot day. Therefore, do not rely upon the warmth of a closed-up room: you need something that takes the heating level right up, which is what our professional Heat Assault equipment does.
No. This is the most common myth we hear. Bed bugs are drawn to warmth and the carbon dioxide we breathe out, not to dirt, so a spotless home is no guarantee against them. A tidy home simply has fewer places for them to hide.
More common than most people would guess. Largo is home to around 83,000 residents, and with roughly 38% of homes renter-occupied across Pinellas County, there are plenty of multi-unit buildings where bed bugs can spread from one home to the next.
Bed bugs are not a sign that a home is dirty. Most of the time they arrive by hitching a ride, whether on luggage, on secondhand furniture, or in a guest's bag, or they slip in through cracks and gaps from one unit to the next. Even spotless homes and brand-new builds around Pinellas County can end up with them. There is more in our comprehensive guide.
Unfortunately, no. If you have tried the usual DIY treatments, you are likely only killing a small handful of the adult populace, leaving the younglings to take their place. The infestation keeps recovering until it is treated properly at every life stage.
