How we do it: We use a combination treatment — a proprietary residual spray plus our Heat Assault thermal heat. The heat kills bed bugs and their eggs on contact at every life stage, and the spray keeps working for weeks to stop survivors and re-infestation. It's the two-pronged method entomology researchers at Purdue University found most effective, and it's guaranteed.
The temperatures that matter: Bed bugs die at 118°F held for about 90 minutes, and 122°F kills them almost instantly. Eggs are the toughest stage, so we hold lethal temperatures throughout the home and back the heat with residual spray. See the full heat and time chart.
What it costs in Miami: Treatment starts at $1,800 and is priced by home size — most homes run $1,800–$2,800. That's the affordable end of the national $1,500–$5,000 range. Estimate your price.
Local factors in Miami: Miami is home to about 460,000 residents, and roughly 70% of homes are renter-occupied — and rentals and multi-unit buildings tend to see more bed bug activity. The median Miami home was built around 1979, which means more cracks and crevices where bed bugs can hide. Miami also ranks among the Top 50 cities on Orkin’s annual U.S. Bed Bug Cities list.

Signs you have bed bugs: adults are reddish-brown and about the size of an apple seed. Look for rusty blood stains and tiny black fecal spots (they smear reddish-brown on a damp tissue) on mattress seams, pinhead-sized pale eggs and shed skins, and a sweet musty odor. Around 85% of bed bugs are found in or near the bed.

Our Combination Treatment System in Action
Whether you own a condo in Brickell, rent an apartment in Little Havana, or manage a short-term rental over on Miami Beach, you have undoubtedly heard of bed bugs. Frustrating and annoying, bed bugs can represent one of the most common issues we can face as property owners. Needless to say, getting rid of all bed bugs on your property should be a priority. Our crews work bed bug jobs right across Miami and Miami-Dade County, from the high-rises of Edgewater and Sunny Isles to the older homes in Coconut Grove and the apartments through Allapattah, and we can usually reach a Miami address within a day of the first call.
Many companies mention heat treatment or thermal treatment without specifying the equipment they use, often because they rely on inferior systems. We use the Heat Assault system paired with a residual spray, so the heat kills bed bugs and their eggs at every life stage in a single visit while the spray keeps working for weeks. Rather than repeat the full science on every city page, we have put the temperatures, the timings, and the comparison with chemical-only treatments in one place, in our heat treatment guide and our treatment cost guide.
If you are wondering what makes us the right choice for bed bugs in Miami, here is what sets our service apart. Our combination treatment is designed to end the infestation for good rather than knocking it back for a few weeks.
In a city where roughly seven in ten homes are rented, the question of who pays for treatment comes up more than almost anywhere, and Florida law is clearer on it than most people expect. There is one statute that decides most of it, Florida Statute 83.51, and bed bugs are actually named in it; a landlord of an apartment building, a leased condominium, or a divided duplex must make reasonable provision for exterminating them. Do not assume the cost of treatment is automatically yours as a renter; in most Miami apartment and condominium buildings, it is not. A single-family rental is the exception, where the obligation can fall to the tenant unless the lease says otherwise, so check what yours says before anyone pays for anything. Just be warned: in a high-rise, treating one unit while the units around it go untreated is not guaranteed to deliver results, and handling the affected units together is usually what finally ends it. If a landlord or an association will not act, the Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County takes sanitary-nuisance complaints. We are not attorneys, and this is not legal advice, but we are happy to walk an association board or a property manager through what a proper treatment involves.
To understand why bed bugs spread so easily in a city like Miami, it helps to know how they travel. Bed bugs are small, wingless insects that feed on blood, and they are a public health issue, bringing significant physiological and psychological problems to those whose homes and beds are infested. They move by being carried, in luggage, in secondhand furniture, and in the belongings of someone moving between homes, and Miami gives them more of that movement than almost anywhere. It is one of the densest cities in the country, and the towers of Brickell, Edgewater, and Sunny Isles stack thousands of units behind shared walls. Roughly seven in ten Miami homes are rented, often by students near the University of Miami and FIU or by the many people who arrive from elsewhere each year, and multi-unit buildings let an infestation travel along a shared wall from one apartment to the next. Bed bugs are most commonly found in family homes but are also regularly found in hotels, and South Beach fills and empties with visitors through the season and around events like Art Basel, keeping the hotels and rentals turning over constantly. That mix of density, renters, and tourism is exactly why treating a single unit on its own so often fails in a Miami building; the neighbours end up sharing more than a wall. So, let us take a closer look at where bed bugs turn up in Miami, and who is responsible for treating them when they do.
Bed bugs are easily mistaken for other pests. Look for small reddish-brown insects about the size of an apple seed. Other signs include rusty blood stains and tiny black fecal spots on mattress seams, along with pinhead-sized pale eggs and itchy bites in lines or clusters. Around 85% of bed bugs are found in or near the bed.
Florida’s warm, humid climate lets bed bugs breed year-round, and Miami’s travel and rental activity means they are easily carried in on luggage, clothing, and secondhand furniture. It has nothing to do with how clean your home is.
You can lower the risk by inspecting luggage and secondhand furniture, using mattress encasements, and reducing clutter, but no home is fully bed-bug-proof. If they do get in, professional treatment is the reliable way to eliminate them.
Bed bug bites are not generally dangerous, but they can itch, become inflamed, and disrupt sleep. Scratching can lead to infection, so it is best to eliminate the infestation quickly.
No, bed bug infestations stick around so long as there is a human host to suck blood from. You would need to move out and leave your property abandoned for months on end. In the right conditions, a bed bug can go months without feeding. So, you would need to abandon your building for a pretty long period to get rid of their numbers. This rarely, if ever, gets the job done as you would want.
Our advice? Act as soon as you spot the one bed bug. Even a single bug is a surefire sign that more are present. Avoid hoping that they will move on. Once they are in situ, bed bugs stick around until we kill them off!
Chemicals, once the gold standard for treating bed bugs in Miami, are no longer viable. There are several reasons. The first is resistance: bed bugs are becoming more able to repel the kind of industry-wide pesticides used. More powerful pesticides come with the risk of collateral damage and the environmental impact of using such a method. For the most part, chemicals are proving ineffective.
You can also find that chemicals only impact a small part of your property. To cover anything like the same square footage as heat treatment, you would need to administer multiple uses of the chemical. This is inefficient and expensive and means having to leave your property for multiple days to create an impact. Instead of wasting valuable resources, hire a professional who can treat you.
Usually not. Bed bugs do not permanently damage furniture, and our heat treatment penetrates mattresses, couches, and frames to kill bed bugs and eggs inside. After treatment, a deep clean removes any staining.

Bed bug heat treatment in Miami starts at an $1,800 minimum and is priced by the size of your home, so most homes run somewhere between about $1,800 and $2,800. There are no per-room upcharges and no surprises, and we confirm your exact price over the phone before any work begins. Our bed bug treatment cost page has the full 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. Miami is home to around 460,000 residents, and with roughly 70% of homes renter-occupied across Miami-Dade County, there are plenty of multi-unit buildings where bed bugs can spread from one home to the next. Miami also lands among the Top 50 cities on Orkin’s national bed bug list.
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 Miami-Dade 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.
In most Miami buildings with more than one unit, the landlord or the association pays. Florida Statute 83.51 requires the landlord of any multi-unit building to make reasonable provision for exterminating pests, and bed bugs are named in the statute. A single-family rental is the exception, where the duty can fall to the tenant unless the lease says otherwise.
Because the units share walls, and bed bugs travel along them. Multi-unit buildings let an infestation move from one apartment to the next through shared walls and utility runs, so a problem that begins in a single condo can reach its neighbours if it is not dealt with. That is why a building with bed bugs in one unit is usually better off treating the affected units together rather than one at a time.
