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 Sebastian 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.
It's a proprietary blend of pesticide spray, but we do it first because when it's wet, I mean, it's a chemical, but when it's dry, it's non-harmful to people and pets, and we have never ever had an issue, and we do not spray anything that comes into.
Answered by Dori on a call,
What we do when we open the cabinets, when we open the dresser drawers, open the closet doors, that is for the heat to circulate around those items so they do not need to be emptied. Okay. What we worry about is floor clutter. Okay, so if you have a clear floor that makes our treatment better, it makes it easier for our technicians to get in and spray the perimeter of each and every room and closet. And also it allows us to give you the most effective heat treatment that we can give you. Floor clutter breaks up the heat that we really need down low because that's where bed bugs are hanging out around our furniture, around our bed, around our baseboards, okay, wall outlets. If they hung up at the ceiling, we'd worry about tall shelves with...
Answered by Dori on a call,
They do. Yes, they do. Bat bugs will feed on the blood of bats. If there are no bats there and they've waited long enough and they're picking up on your carbon dioxide, they will come down and they will want to feed on you and their bites are very much like a bed bug bite.
Answered by Dori on a call,
Because we move the heaters around sometimes, you know, we check, we use FLIR guns and we check the temperatures throughout your entire house to make sure that every single square inch of the home is above 120.
Answered on a call,
That removed from the house and you can just set it outside it doesn't you don't have to put it in your car take it with you but you know just take it out of the house yes
Answered by Mike on a call,
If they're brand new items, no. If you're buying used items, that's a possibility.
Answered by Dori on a call,
This is our own crew, on recorded calls about jobs in Sebastian and nearby. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
What we do is an all-day treatment. It is actually best with a converted house that we treat the whole home. It's usually cheaper that way, too, because bedbugs can travel.
Furniture's fine. Okay, furniture is fine to stay where it is. What we worry about, a lot of people just have a bunch of stuff and they have it piled up on the floors. That will hurt the effectiveness of our treatment. So that's what I'm talking about.
Active treatment. This is very important too, man. Do not wipe down or mop the baseboards, headboards, door jams, windowsills for at least three to four weeks. Sweeping is fine, but we want to keep that spray still active in your house.
To treat it. Yes, yes. Now, there are some good companies out there that do the electric heaters. So they bring them up into your unit. They're not they don't have to be attached to their trailer like ours do. Okay.
We can save mattresses, we can save clothing. Now, if you have closets that are like over... flowing, you know, a lot of excess clothes, then we suggest taking the items like winter items. Run them through a high heat dryer for at least 40 minutes. It'll kill any bedbugs or eggs that are on them and then put them in a brand new garbage bag, tie them up, get them out of your house.
One came to your place. So, wait, wait, I'm reading here, hang on. Inspection $1,800, nephew treating and picking bugs out of the ceiling.
It's kind of just on like on their last leg and it takes a couple more days because that that spray that we put down over, you know, like in the interior perimeter that lasts for 30 days and that will give you some additional protection beyond the heat. But let's do this. Let's continue to monitor for the next couple of days.
To get, just to give an idea of what they would be spending if they want to do treatment, but they are there, you're going to want to urge them to do treatment because it will get out of hand really fast. And so if you don't get it under control, it's going to. Um, it's going to escalate pretty badly.
Less than 100 feet i'm going to say to parking lot okay okay um so for us to do our one day and done treatment we start at 8 a.m in the morning we need all people all pets out of the house all day promise to have you back no later than 8 p.
Sides of your headboard, baseboards, bed frame, mattress box, springs flooring. I don't care what kind of flooring you have. Vacuum it all.
Our only mission and our sole reason for existing is to destroy bed bugs and their eggs. Okay. The way that we approach the treatment is we call it a combined treatment where we come inside to your property. We use a three-part pesticide spray, and we spray around the perimeter of your property, so around baseboards, around windowsills, around door jambs, and inside closets, just to name a few, okay?
The Area Agency on Aging or the phone number, the ADRC helpline that I sent you, they are a resource center that helps a lot of senior citizens reach out to a lot of different agencies. They will give you two or three different phone numbers of different agencies they feel could help you get financial assistance for bed bug treatment. Call those numbers. If one of those agencies says, yes, we can help you, they screen you, they make sure you meet the qualifications, they will usually pledge 50%.
Get on. They usually come across the mattress. Okay, so they're biting the skin that's usually against the mattress. So like if you're a stomach sleeper getting bites on, you know, your sides, your stomach, things like that, the fronts of your legs makes sense.
We also do a perimeter spray that gives you a second layer of protection that lasts for well over a month.
To get rid of bed bugs, it is very, very hard to do. And it is an all-day treatment.
Are about the size of a head of a straight pin and they look like teeny tiny white translucent sticky rice and sometimes you'll see a little black dot if you notice you see a tiny little eye is what they call it in the top egg on the left hand side. And then what you want to also look for are exoskeletons. If you notice on the top row, most of the males are amber and look kind of translucent.
What I would recommend. So if you see anything at all suspicious, so the first sign, of course, is going to be getting bites. Typically neck, back, face, torso area, groups of three or more in a line or zigzag pattern. That will show up before any of the signs.
It's been hot for a while, so all of everywhere is out of hibernation. So it really is difficult to tell. Now, you were getting how many bites a night?
I'm going to send you our pretreatment checklist. So basically what we need is a neat and tidy house, okay? No floor clutter.
I can definitely go over a prep with you. Just give me one second. Let me...
Every Sebastian job we quote and complete is logged with a date, zip and crew note. The counts and notes below come from that record — this is the real work history for the city, not a claim.
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.”
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 Sebastian 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.

Yes. Sebastian is inside our service area, worked out of our Winter Garden office, about a 129-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 Sebastian sits roughly 129 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 Sebastian. 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.
