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, 1 of them from Lehigh Acres 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're going to hold six hours and then the total time that you need to be out of the home is about 10 hours.
Answered on a call,
It's a one day treatment. We can actually get rid of them in one day, which is kind of special. And we guarantee our work. When you pay us, the bed bug problem becomes our bed bug problem.
Answered on a call,
I can hear it now. Yeah, I was just acting up for a second there. Yeah, I think that's what the issue is. I was just on the wrong.
Answered by Mike on a call,
Not once the treatment starts, like once that heat starts, they never to come out. Now, maybe.
Answered by Julie on a call,
I have no technicians available for a free estimate today, but I can give you an estimate for our services over the phone.
Answered by Dori on a call,
Can you repeat that for me? I'm not understanding what was left in your car.
Answered by Charles on a call,
Because it's within that 72 hours uh i think we're going to have to increase the price by 200
Answered by Mike on a call,
This is our own crew, on recorded calls about jobs in Lehigh Acres and nearby. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
You feel more comfortable in your home. So your best weapons right now to make you feel empowered and to keep you comfortable while we're waiting for treatment, your dryer and your vacuum cleaner. When you vacuum, you want to vacuum slowly, thoroughly, and then immediately throw that vacuum dirt into an outdoor trash can. Okay.
The spray is a second layer of protection. It's a proprietary blend of pesticide spray with growth inhibitor. Once it dries, it is non-harmful to people and pets. But we put that down as a second layer of protection for you. It's a full protective barrier around your home. And we spray that first and then we do the heat treatment so it's thoroughly dry. Okay. And then. And then we break out the big guns. Our trailer is our heat system. It's called the heat assault system.
Any of them are so dug deep in the wall or if things have been taken out and not thoroughly checked and brought back in after the treatment, then that second layer of protection, that pesticide spray we put down is going to be really important to make sure it stays.
We bring a, it's a. commercially designed trailer built specifically to destroy bed bugs and their eggs. This trailer, it's an unmarked black trailer, so it's very discreet. Neighbors won't know anything other than maybe you're just cleaning carpets or something. This trailer will push out about 600,000 BTUs of thermal energy into your house. We raise the temperature of the house up pretty rapidly to about 140 degrees.
He said it may be a roach nymph, which is like just the baby ones, and maybe they've started breeding. And in my opinion, I think also because you mentioned about that cat and the fleas, that's probably where the bites are coming from.
Those are great questions. So what we do here at Bedbug Exterminator is we are not a – the first thing is we're not a general pest control company. We are strictly focused on eradicating bedbugs and their eggs wherever they might. They might be at, okay? So what we do is we have a combined treatment. And what I mean by that is we use a pesticide spray to lay down a barrier against the baseboards and door jams and windowsills and inside closets.
The things that I point out are those half inch or quarter inch vinyl blinds. Those will warp. The horizontal ones, they're thin, they're flimsy, they will warp in the heat. We suggest those are pulled up tight, popped off their hooks and laid flat on a bathroom floor and they're fine when they're flat.
Bed bugs are different than mites. Our treatment of barely pretty much anything that crawls in Florida, but we only guarantee for bed bugs.
Absolutely, absolutely. And just in case they have been that heat, for one, when we can get that high heat in every single room, it helps the ground zero room, okay? When we are dealing with... maybe a cluttered room in the middle of the house, that kind of shuts down the heat too and doesn't allow that to really get in.
Leave the temperature at about 140 degrees for about five or six hours. During that time, what will happen is once the temperature gets to about 122 degrees, the exoskeletons on these bugs are going to collapse. They're going to be completely devastated and their eggs will be destroyed. And this is an important part of this. It's very important because pesticides alone do not kill the eggs.
Hopefully, being the kind of landlord, you know, depending on your policy, depending on your lease, I should say, you know, a lot of landlords will pay for the treatment and be done with it. A lot of landlords will pay for the treatment up front and then break it down into really easy payments and add it to your rent so it's easier for you. And then others will say, sorry, you're on your own. You know, it really just depends on your landlord.
A very rare occasion, only in the worst possible scenarios, worst infestations that we had to go back and treat again.
I am going to send you a quick text saying you can send pictures here, and that way I can confirm if they're bedbugs or not.
What we do is we do a combined process of the spray and heat.
Spray penetrates everything and kills the bed bugs and the eggs where they're nesting and hiding. And then the spray that you do leaves a protective barrier inside your home that lasts for well over a month. So that's a second layer of protection for you. So do you know the square footage of your home?
We're going to heat up your home to 140 degrees. You would not be able to survive.
More over, okay? So, you know, it behooves you, it saves you a lot of money if you declutter and it is so less stressful when you have a decluttered house. It really is. It's easier on the mind.
The issue of because when she gets them, right, a lot of times it's very hard, like, especially if, you know, people are disabled or things like that, depending on if you have a lot of clutter in the house, like it depends on where you bring that clutter. You have to be extra cautious in those situations just because a lot of times like you might be bringing them out in your purse or something. You might be, they might be in your.
What do the bedbugs use? They will typically leave when they bite people. The bites generally look like they're like in a triangle or a zigzag shape. Does it appear, do the bites on her body appear to be like in a triangle or zigzag shape?
Absolutely. Speak to your wife. If you have any questions about anything, we're here till 7 p.m. We work seven days a week. We'll be more than happy to answer your phone calls or you can also text this. I'll be sending you a text message and then. You can always reply to those text messages. The whole team sees those messages. And I'm sorry, I forgot, I didn't get your name.

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 Lehigh Acres 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.

Yes. Lehigh Acres is inside our service area, worked out of our Bradenton office, about a 119-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 Lehigh Acres sits roughly 119 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 Lehigh Acres. 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.
