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.

Written findingsSame-week slotsNo pressure
Book an inspectionShared walls move bed bugs between units, so treating one apartment in isolation rarely holds. We coordinate with property managers on access, prep notices and adjoining units.

Answered by Dori on a call,
Let me check here. I want to look at the map here. So you're in Rockledge. So expect us to start probably around 9 o'clock in the morning.
Answered by Mike on a call,
I'm not able to transfer calls to him. I can take your information down and then pass the information along to him.
Answered by Mike on a call,
I don't have the tenants information other than their phone number that you just gave me a little while ago so
Answered by Mike on a call,
We will. Yes, we will.
Answered by Dori on a call,
This is our own crew, on recorded calls about jobs in St. Lucie County and nearby. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
The infestation, yeah, if the infestation gets out of hand again, then just a spray is not going to cut it. You need another heat treatment, you know? So we're going to try now that all the clutter's gone and the laundry and you're not staying.
With you being up on the eighth floor, if we can't do this treatment because of our trailer, you may have to try and find someone that does the electric heaters. They just bring a whole bunch into your home and do it that way. You'll want to make sure, though, when you talk to them, you want to ask what the highest temperature they go to is. If they say we go 150 and over. that can cause you home damage.
Now what I'm going to try and do is get it earlier in the day for you to make it easier on you. But most of the time we do our sprays after we finish the heat treatment so it's late afternoon or early evening.
Something like that, we would have to speak with property management and hopefully they would allow us to, like other workers, maybe pull up behind your balcony or pull up on the grass or something so we can get closer to you. We run hoses from our trailer into your apartment. So we would need property management approval to be there anyways.
We if we can park it right underneath so we do a lot of like high-rise buildings as well. We just need to be able to park a truck and a trailer underneath a window or door and we would run those hoses and heat fans up through a window or door.
It's very, very rare. Usually when they do that, there is a unit upstairs where somebody is living, whether it's a bedroom, whether it's another apartment, and that person might be gone.
It wouldn't, okay, he definitely can't be in there if Chase comes back out to respray, but the spray once dry is non-harmful to people, pets, and plants.
It does not keep them from coming back. They don't migrate from house to house. It's not like they're at your neighbor's house going, oh, Michelle's house looks good.
Bed bugs usually bite in a little cluster of three. They call it breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So if you got 20 bites, that can mean you had like six, seven bed bugs biting you that first time.
We have reviews there. It goes over the process. So it's pictures of our staff, our truck, our trailer, et cetera, et cetera. And when you see our trailer arrive, you'll understand that we're there to do business. Looks like a piece of military equipment.
We like to have that pesticide there just as a safeguard, just in case there's anything left, then that pesticide spray will give you at least another 30 days of guarantee that, you know, if there's anything left at all, that that pesticide spray would kill them. We don't expect a pesticide spray to kill the eggs. But a lot of times it's, you know, when you're dealing with these bed bugs, they're very difficult to eradicate.
It's a one day and done treatment okay we start in the morning if we have a technician in your area already we start at 8 a.m in the morning because we go all over Florida If we don't have a technician in your area and you've got to drive your way, not a big deal. We don't charge extra for that, but we start about 9 a.m. or 10 a.m. in the morning, just depending on where they are. Okay. And then whether we start at 8 a.m.
Got to worry about yourself, not what's going on in other units, because you are on a short time frame with them to be evicted, to be out on the street.
Victor went in, he did five loads of laundry and he did his job all day in the heat.
Absolutely. Well, and if our technicians are asked, you had a water problem, we're there to dry it out. So, okay, so parking right in front.
I think we can wait until Monday. Yeah, he just let you know. So he said he's seen three. So I'm guessing that he's probably had the issue. for about a month. It usually takes about a month or so unless people have a reaction to the bite. It usually takes people about a month or so to realize they have a problem. Waiting until Monday is fine.
You're probably doing an excellent job keeping them at bay because if this isn't going on for a few months, your infestation would be out of control. They'd be crawling everywhere. So it sounds like you've done as much as you can to keep them at bay.
If by chance one of the mechanics was dealing with bedbugs and, I mean, they move around a lot. Mechanics move around a lot. I would think there would be a chance they could lose one or two in your vehicle. But, I mean, you know, mechanics, you know, don't just stand still so that the bugs would cling on them all day long.
You want whatever you suck up out the house okay just toss it out the window okay no let's put it in the trash ma'am yeah all right you have a good
We got, I have a laundry list of people that just are, you know, old and hardly even know if they have bed bugs because they're partly blind and whatever. And then you tell them how much it costs and they're like.
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 St. Lucie 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.
