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.

We treat the whole home because that is the only way to be sure that we've eliminated all bedbugs and eggs. Bedbugs find their way into your home by hitchhiking. So when they come into your home, there's a very high probability that they have hitchhiked into other areas, even though you might not realize they're there yet.
Answered by Dori on a call,
This is an exterminator. My name is Dori with Bed Bug Exterminator. We texted on the phone, emailed, okay, and then you said you'd be home at 10 a.m., so I told you I would call you after 10 a.m.
Answered by Dori on a call,
Take a $200 deposit when we place you on the calendar and then the remaining balance is due at time of treatment.
Answered by Dori on a call,
You didn't see anything that looked like somebody took a very thin tipped like black ballpoint pen and kind of dotted around little black stains? Okay. Okay. So I'm going to go out on a limb and say he thought that he could just because you were a little wigged out could make a sale.
Answered by Dori on a call,
I will just message him your name and number and let him know that you called.
Answered by Dori on a call,
This is our own crew, on recorded calls about jobs in Okeechobee County and nearby. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
Palm Beach Gardens. Okay, Palm Beach Gardens. Okay. That just sounds lovely. Okay, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Okay. Okay, so what we do, we do a spray and heat treatment. Okay. We arrive at 8 a.m. in the morning and we arrive in an unmarked truck. And an unmarked trailer, okay, so nobody knows what's going on at LaQuisha's house.
If we came out right now seeing the evidence we would say you have bed bugs, we need to treat. Okay, but as I said, you've got a huge amount of them out already, okay? We don't know if they got into the wall, so it's kind of a waiting game. So while you wait, you vacuum, okay? You use that high heat dryer, you stay vigilant, and I would say right now you will only keep out what is needed. All right. Not what anybody wants.
Know whether you're going to do it at home or the laundromat so but again you don't have to do everything in one fell swoop and if it's clean there is no need to wash it okay just run it through that high heat dryer Okay.
Says here that she has an encasement on the mattress and it's been in place for a while. Yeah. So he did not. Yes. So he didn't remove it to check. Oh, that's why he didn't check the mattress because you have a I guess it's an it's like a cover like an encasement.
I will spray the entire house and then we'll use our heat assault trailer to heat up the
Normally what he does is he'll text you. When he leaves, and he'll typically say, hey, wait two or three hours before you go back in because we want that heat to stay in there for a little while longer. But I'm surprised he hasn't texted you yet.
We're treating them the same way. We're treating this is our method. We know exactly what to do and we do it the same way every job.
Then that's fine. So we could just lower the hose down from the balcony and then connect it to the trailer and then run it up to the thing. None of our trucks or trailers say anything about bedbugs on them, so it's completely discreet.
You wanted to do an overnight job, starting at like four o'clock in the afternoon and that way we finish up in the middle of the night so you could easily get that hotel room, get checked in. have a place to sleep, you know, be comfortable and then come home at your leisure the next morning.
Little bit. You do have to do a little bit of prep, and I'll go over that in detail with you when you book, but it's basically.
End up with bed bugs because they are hitchhikers they hitchhike into your home and they will set up house faster than anything okay so let's talk about your apartment Tracy what floor is your apartment on okay
Now, you know what? If your clothes are clean, there's no reason to rewash them. What you can do is just put them in a high heat dryer for at least 40 minutes. Good news, whether it's bed bugs, it'll kill the bed bugs and eggs, but whether any bugs are on your clothing like that, it's going to kill them too. So that's a win-win, okay?
Absolutely. I get it. Yeah, you definitely need to be bed bug free. Okay, well, I'm back on the phones tomorrow morning at 745. Victor will be there. He'll probably be there early, depending on the traffic. So if you see him, he'll be driving a black.
It's possible that it was just a dead one. I mean, if you haven't found any other bedbugs, it's probably just, you know, post dead bedbugs after the treatment.
I totally agree. Even though shrimp is yummy, I would rather do that as well. Now, what I can suggest to you for right now, if it is bed bug, it's only been going on for a week. Usually, we cannot.
We can do an inspection. So what the inspection involves is we go to your property and the technician will go into the home and he'll look at all the typical places that we would normally find bed bug evidence. And what I mean by evidence is they leave behind like discarded exoskeletons. So as they grow. Since they're insects, their skin doesn't grow, so they have to discard their old skin, which is an exoskeleton. So we'll look for casings. They're called casings, discarded exoskeletons.
Any kind of bedding, clothing that's laying around the house, any kind of throw pillows, things like that, you can run through that high heat dryer as well for at least 40 minutes. That'll kill any bed bugs or eggs that are on them. And that way that'll give you a little bit more relief. And then how many bedrooms do you have in your house?
The nits when they come out are about that size as well. The adult male and female bed bug are about the size of an apple seed, so that's as big as they get. Now, I'm just going to throw this out there. When you saw that bug, did you have a chance to see if it was more oblong or round?
If a place was built to be apartments, it's usually got firewalls in between, which means it's fine to, you know, they stay contained in one unit. If not, like if it was a house broken up later.
If it is bed bugs and just because it's a full moon in the same week that April Fool's fall and these bed bugs are just screwing with us then they're taken care of but if it's bat bugs then when those bats return it's true Just, you know, it's just a possibility that
The problem with bed bugs is that they are some of the hardiest pests around. They can survive in high heat and humid conditions, which is why heat has to be held for as long as it is. They move through the smallest cracks and crevices and stick easily to furniture, luggage, and clothing. Given they are so small, we do not notice them until they are legion.
If you want to get rid of bed bugs in Okeechobee County, you must pay close attention to where they appear. In a household, they could have been brought in by a visitor, by yourself when staying elsewhere, or made their way in through a connected property.
Bed bugs get around with consummate ease and breed at a dizzying rate, so a small collection can soon become an infestation occupying many or all of your rooms. For business owners, a guest could have brought them in, or a delivery shipment, or new furniture.
We often assume that bed bugs only stick to beds or old, smelly furniture. Bed bugs do not care whether furniture, bedding, or properties are clean or dirty. They are here for one thing only — blood. They are just as easily found in an immaculate five-star hotel as in an old, second-hand bed.
