Every question below was asked by a real caller on a recorded call, 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.
Bedbugs will nest behind baseboards and in wall outlets where you can't see them. They don't just hang out on the bed. They'll be around living room furniture, you know, bedrooms, things like that. So that's why we treat the whole home so we don't have to show up once a week, you know, and chase those bedbugs around your house.
Answered by Dori on a call,
That means that spray that we lay down, our pesticide spray with growth inhibitor, is going to be really, really important for him. We lay a protective barrier down around the home, we spray. It's a perimeter of each and every single room, each and every single closet. We spray very carefully and strategically underneath and inside furniture and in all cracks and crevices where we know bedbugs like to hide and nest.
Answered by Dori on a call,
We're here seven days a week. We normally stop answering phones around 7 or 8 p.m. in the evening.
Answered by Mike on a call,
Absolutely, absolutely. And you received it by email with the appointment notification, so you can forward it right over to her if you'd like.
Answered on a call,
We do work on the weekends and I can have someone coming out Sunday.
Answered by Dori on a call,
This is our own crew, on recorded calls about jobs in Stuart and nearby. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
We have a 60-day guarantee that goes along with our one-day-and-done treatment. As you know, when those bed bugs hatch, it takes about 14 days for an egg to develop and right after that birth of oil, so they find you quickly. So we would know in that first week or two if we needed to come out and visit you again, okay?
The less amount of clutter you have, the more effective our treatment. And when you're spending that kind of money, you want to prep as well as you can. You know, you want it to be effective.
What we do, we do all day heat treatment and that eliminates the bedbugs and the eggs. But being that you are a guest, you have to go through the owner.
They're not just sitting back twiddling their little bedbugs. They're breeding. They're making more of them. So when they do come out, they're going to come out in waves. So, you know, just put the ammonia away, vacuum, vacuum, vacuum, okay? Baseboards, flooring, everything that you cannot put in that high heat dryer. Seriously, those are your best weapons. Now, if you want to have a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol handy, if one comes out, spray it.
It will not. So he's going to treat the furniture. He's going to flip the cushions on couches to make sure he sprays inside the couches and underneath, you know, any furniture that includes the bedding.
It. Absolutely. You can vacuum to your heart's content. Don't just wet or wipe anything down. I don't know if he sprayed the edges of the ceiling just because it was so bad.
More economical that way. And what we do is an all-day treatment. We start about 9 a.m. in the morning. If the technician is closer to you because we have them going all over Florida. So sometimes we'll have a technician right in the area of that day doing a heat treatment, maybe in Spring Hill the day before. So we would start at 8 a.m. in the morning. But if a technician is driving, you know, a little bit, we'll start at 9 a.m.
Oxygen tanks, fire extinguishers, you know, firearm ammunition, things like that. Anything that goes boom needs to be taken out of the house and just put on the carport for the day of treatment. We started 8 a.m., okay? We have everyone back in the home no later than 8 p.m., so it is an all-day treatment.
Know this works, because our method is like, this is all we do is bedbugs, we can guarantee that. So if for some freak reason it does not work, it'd be like a 2% chance if it's extra cluttery or a really bad infestation, we will come back on our dime and do another spray, which would see them nail in the coffin, but we probably won't have to do that.
We've never had an issue with anyone. You know, if they don't want the pesticide, then we should just do the heat treatment.
We put a barrier down first and then the heat will dry that barrier or dry that spray to create a barrier. So once the heat starts going, oftentimes this will sort of make the bedbugs scatter or scramble. One of the things that they like to do is run towards walls like a lot of bugs do and that is when they'll get that double sort of impact from not only the heat.
The beginning of April. Okay, then what I would suggest you do is also contact the realtor that helped you purchase that house. If it is bedbugs and you let them know that you purchased a house with bedbugs and hopefully they will help you get in touch with the previous owner and they can pay for it.
He will be there all day long with your home. But once he texts you, he's getting on the road and heading back home or to the next job, wherever that may be.
That's just evidence of, it's not direct evidence of live bedbugs. Anything could have bitten you. So in order for us to honor our warranty, and we absolutely will honor our warranty, we just have to have... the evidence of live bedbugs. That's how our agreement works. It's something I mentioned to you over the phone when we had our initial conversation. We will go back out and we'll treat it again.
A job, but that probably means it's heading this way, so I need to go get my cat out of the patio.
I understand, honey, because I purchased my home. It was 128 years old when I purchased it. And it was a previous rental property. And the tenants before us were interesting. Let's just put it that way. There were teal walls, Pepto-Bismol pink walls, had to tear out all walls, insulation, new floors, everything.
It could be but for that arm to swell up like that and the other ones not swell up that's just weird that's weird deborah i'm scratching my head on this one um hmm Okay, let's see. Let me get these to the team, get their thoughts on this. And as I said, I'm going to send you some information on us so you have this right at your fingertips. But please go ahead and get everything run through that high heat dryer, whether it's bedbugs or whether it's another kind of bug. And if they're in and on your sheets, that high heat dryer is going to kill them. Okay, so that's a win-win.
Shoulder okay and the neck okay yeah interesting okay and neck okay so um tell me you haven't sprayed anything or done anything crazy burned a mattress or anything like that
Guys are hitchhikers, you know, and they hide very well. Sometimes they hide in the wall sockets and all that. They're not just laying on your bed.
I don't think so either. Okay. So I'm guessing with it being warmer in Florida, you know, and their guests, they probably went different places, maybe had a window open, even the door as they're moving stuff in, and it's just random Florida bugs coming in. Did they, did you say they got bit?

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.

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 Stuart 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. Stuart is inside our service area, worked out of our Winter Garden office, about a 163-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 Stuart sits roughly 163 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 Stuart. 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.
