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, 2 of them from Okeechobee 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 actually bring a commercially built trailer designed specifically to destroy bed bugs in their eggs, so we don't rent the heaters out.
Answered by Mike on a call,
I'm checking with my team right now because it's something I don't really quote that often.
Answered by Mike on a call,
We price by square footage because we treat the whole home, being that bedbugs are hitchhikers and that's how they get into people's homes. There's a very high probability that they hitchhiked into other areas of people's homes. They just haven't realized it yet.
Answered by Dori on a call,
We don't rent heaters. We do all day treatments. We start at 8 a.m., have you back home by later than 8 p.m.
Answered on a call,
Hold on just one second. I just had a technician go in the, I was just leaning back going, oh, okay, I've got everything sorted because a technician.
Answered by Dori on a call,
We can do two simultaneously, and then if we need to do other ones as well, we could do those, but we can only do those two simultaneously. So if you have other ones, we can come back the next day or possibly the day after. To get that done as well. And I'm not sure if you saw the message that I texted you, but basically there's additional $200 for the weekend.
Answered by Mike on a call,
I got to be honest with you, I'm not sure if it's on the website or not.
Answered by Mike on a call,
This is our own crew, on recorded calls about jobs in Okeechobee and nearby. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
You don't have to keep the mattress if you want to. The bed bug, the heat treatment will kill any bed bugs that are on the mattresses.
If it's clean, you don't need to wash it again. Just run it through a high heat dryer. Because that way. And if there were any bedbugs or eggs in there as you were putting things in the bags, then that high heat dryer kills the bedbugs and eggs.
We do that because the bed bugs that you've seen so far, as well as their eggs, die at 122 degrees. But in order to guarantee our treatment, you know, we just raise it up a little bit more and we hold it there for about five to six hours.
Spray doesn't kill eggs, spray will kill the bed bugs, but not the eggs and the heat will kill the eggs. So we do a one day treatment and it's guaranteed. We come in, we treat the whole place and that way you don't have to continue to spray. It sounds like you had a fairly good experience with spray, but the typical way a spray company will do it is a three to four spray.
Heat treatment will penetrate all of that. But yeah, we definitely want to, I was looking for your name and I'm like, why can't I find Robin? Because it's under your mom's name. I know, I know. It's one of those mornings, you know, it's one that I'm going to run an IV, you know, with coffee in it today.
He may come a few minutes later. It could be 930, but let's just plan for around 9 o'clock for someone to be there to meet him, to let him into the apartment, into the home. And then once he's in, they can leave. And then probably around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, he'll send a message to Marvin, letting him know that.
Ah, let me see. Okay. If, okay, we take a $200 deposit, which would bring your balance down to $1,900 on the day of treatment. If you can cash or check, then I would take two extra hundred dollars off of that.
Ah, appreciate it. We are exclusively bed bug exterminators. We only treat bed bugs. So yeah, we definitely have some bed bugs for you that you want to cook, but can't help you with water bugs, man.
They're actually both. So they can get into your luggage. So when you go to a vacation rental, if you put your luggage on the floor, that's whenever they can get into your luggage.
You don't even have to do that if you don't want to, John. You can keep your mattresses after the treatment because it is strong enough to penetrate them, but that's completely up to you.
As possible and that way there's less stress on everybody. So I'll send you the checklist of the things that go into the preparation. And if you could just share that with your tenants, maybe text it to them or something like that. I know you know how to do it.
Send me send me the bites and I'll get with the team and then I will get back with you as soon as I can.
Instead of electronics are fine to stay in the home. The only time I'm going to tell you to remove a computer is if it's one of the newer high-end gaming PCs that have that liquid cooling system.
Because batbugs look almost exactly like bedbugs. And if you don't close up the areas where the bats are getting in and then eradicate them, then it continues to be an ongoing problem. So we're baffled as to why you guys are still having that problem. With the heat treatment that was done and the two resprays, that first respray should have nipped it in the bud. To have a second one, yes, it went too long before that second respray was done.
Ask him if he pulled, because what would happen is if she has clothes laying all over the place, those need to be out of the way.
I've raised the same concern. That's the first thing that I said to the owner, and he suggested that, you know, this is a method that we have been refining for three years, and so. Doing a couple of resprays is not completely unusual. And so, you know, based on the information he's telling me, he feels pretty confident that a second respray would do it. I also made a note on your account that we are resetting the warranty. to 60 days starting tomorrow.
Then, and then LaPasha, if you're going to shop around, you need to be really careful. Okay. I'm going to give you a couple helpful hints. If you find someone that says, oh, we can just spray and take care of your bed bugs, that is not correct. Okay. If you spray, you'll get the ones that are on the surface. Sure. But the ones that aren't on the surface. That spray is not going to kill the eggs.
You a text with our contact info. You'll probably, you know, it's a big deal. And I know this is a lot of money. If you need a payment plan, we can work with you on that. And I've, you know, I've told you what the questions to ask, you know, about guarantees. If you're calling around, your husband wants to call us, he can.
Let me, let me, I don't think that's a bed bug, man. That's why I kind of, it's why I start this process the way I do because odd people have a picture or have pictures of their bites or just give me one more minute here for them to respond.
You light the wick, the wax melts. Right, but any kind of tapers, pillars, anything like that, those will melt. Pictures on the wall are fine to stay.

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 Okeechobee 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.
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.

Yes. Okeechobee is inside our service area, worked out of our Winter Garden office, about a 133-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 Okeechobee sits roughly 133 minutes from our Winter Garden 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 Okeechobee. 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.
