How we do it: We use a combination treatment — a proprietary residual spray plus our Heat Assault thermal heat. The heat kills bed bugs and their eggs on contact at every life stage, and the spray keeps working for weeks to stop survivors and re-infestation. It's the two-pronged method entomology researchers at Purdue University found most effective, and it's guaranteed.
The temperatures that matter: Bed bugs die at 118°F held for about 90 minutes, and 122°F kills them almost instantly. Eggs are the toughest stage, so we hold lethal temperatures throughout the home and back the heat with residual spray. See the full heat and time chart.
What it costs in West Palm Beach: Treatment starts at $1,800 and is priced by home size — most homes run $1,800–$2,800. That's the affordable end of the national $1,500–$5,000 range. Estimate your price.
Local factors in West Palm Beach: West Palm Beach is home to about 118,000 residents, and roughly 49% of homes are renter-occupied — and rentals and multi-unit buildings tend to see more bed bug activity. The median West Palm Beach home was built around 1988, which means more cracks and crevices where bed bugs can hide.

Signs you have bed bugs: adults are reddish-brown and about the size of an apple seed. Look for rusty blood stains and tiny black fecal spots (they smear reddish-brown on a damp tissue) on mattress seams, pinhead-sized pale eggs and shed skins, and a sweet musty odor. Around 85% of bed bugs are found in or near the bed.

Our Combination Treatment System in Action
Whether you own a home in El Cid, rent an apartment downtown near Clematis Street, or look after a seasonal condo along Flagler Drive, you have undoubtedly heard of bed bugs. Frustrating and annoying, bed bugs can represent one of the most common issues we can face as property owners. Needless to say, getting rid of all bed bugs on your property should be a priority. Our crews work bed bug jobs right across West Palm Beach and the rest of Palm Beach County, from the 1940s ranches and Spanish Revival homes in Flamingo Park and Northwood out to the downtown condo towers and the gated communities west of I-95, and we can usually reach an address within a day of the first call.
Many companies mention heat treatment or thermal treatment without specifying the equipment they use, often because they rely on inferior systems. We use the Heat Assault system paired with a residual spray, so the heat kills bed bugs and their eggs at every life stage in a single visit while the spray keeps working for weeks. Rather than repeat the full science on every city page, we have put the temperatures, the timings, and the comparison with chemical-only treatments in one place, in our heat treatment guide and our treatment cost guide.

Anyone dealing with bed bugs should consider their options, and the sooner the problem is dealt with the better, because bed bugs will not simply go away on their own. Renters ask us who is supposed to pay, and the honest answer is that Florida already decided most of it. The statute, 83.51 for anyone who wants to look it up, says the landlord of a building with more than one unit has to make reasonable provision for exterminating pests, and bed bugs are actually named in it. So if you are renting an apartment or a leased condo in West Palm Beach, the treatment is usually your landlord’s or the association’s to arrange rather than yours. A rented single-family house is the messier case, and there it comes down to what the lease says. If a landlord will not act, the Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County takes sanitary-nuisance complaints. We are not attorneys, and this is not legal advice, but we deal with these situations regularly and are happy to talk a landlord or a property manager through what a proper treatment involves.
Bed bugs are brought into the home by people; in West Palm Beach, that often means a suitcase carried back from up north. Do not assume that bed bugs arrived due to anything unclean; that is extremely rare to be the case. If you worry about a seasonal home, you are not alone; West Palm Beach fills each winter with snowbirds, most of them from the Northeast, and the condos and seasonal rentals along the water fill back up after sitting empty through the summer. The main problem with a seasonal home is that an infestation does not always appear immediately. Bed bugs tend to stick around places near ‘home’, the bed, so a unit that sits closed simply leaves them waiting quietly for months, and any eggs laid before the door was locked will have hatched by the time the owner returns. West Palm Beach is also more open to short-term rentals than some of its neighbours, and a rental that changes guests often has many more chances for someone to arrive carrying bed bugs than a home with one long-term family. One thing to note is that roughly half of West Palm Beach homes are rented, and east of I-95 the downtown and waterfront are dense with condo and apartment towers, where an infestation can travel along a shared wall from one unit to the next. So, let us take a closer look at where bed bugs turn up in West Palm Beach, and who is responsible for treating them when they do.
Bed bugs are easily mistaken for other pests. Look for small reddish-brown insects about the size of an apple seed. Other signs include rusty blood stains and tiny black fecal spots on mattress seams, along with pinhead-sized pale eggs and itchy bites in lines or clusters. Around 85% of bed bugs are found in or near the bed.
Florida’s warm, humid climate lets bed bugs breed year-round, and West Palm Beach’s travel and rental activity means they are easily carried in on luggage, clothing, and secondhand furniture. It has nothing to do with how clean your home is.
You can lower the risk by inspecting luggage and secondhand furniture, using mattress encasements, and reducing clutter, but no home is fully bed-bug-proof. If they do get in, professional treatment is the reliable way to eliminate them.
Bed bug bites are not generally dangerous, but they can itch, become inflamed, and disrupt sleep. Scratching can lead to infection, so it is best to eliminate the infestation quickly.
No, bed bug infestations stick around so long as there is a human host to suck blood from. You would need to move out and leave your property abandoned for months on end. In the right conditions, a bed bug can go months without feeding. So, you would need to abandon your building for a pretty long period to get rid of their numbers. This rarely, if ever, gets the job done as you would want.
Our advice? Act as soon as you spot the one bed bug. Even a single bug is a surefire sign that more are present. Avoid hoping that they will move on. Once they are in situ, bed bugs stick around until we kill them off!
Chemicals, once the gold standard for treating bed bugs in West Palm Beach, are no longer viable. There are several reasons. The first is resistance: bed bugs are becoming more able to repel the kind of industry-wide pesticides used. More powerful pesticides come with the risk of collateral damage and the environmental impact of using such a method. For the most part, chemicals are proving ineffective.
You can also find that chemicals only impact a small part of your property. To cover anything like the same square footage as heat treatment, you would need to administer multiple uses of the chemical. This is inefficient and expensive and means having to leave your property for multiple days to create an impact. Instead of wasting valuable resources, hire a professional who can treat you.
Usually not. Bed bugs do not permanently damage furniture, and our heat treatment penetrates mattresses, couches, and frames to kill bed bugs and eggs inside. After treatment, a deep clean removes any staining.

Bed bug heat treatment in West Palm Beach starts at an $1,800 minimum and is priced by the size of your home, so most homes run somewhere between about $1,800 and $2,800. There are no per-room upcharges and no surprises, and we confirm your exact price over the phone before any work begins. Our bed bug treatment cost page has the full breakdown.
The reliable way to kill bed bugs at every life stage, including the eggs that store-bought sprays tend to miss, is our combination treatment. We pair Heat Assault thermal heat, which kills the bugs on contact, with a residual spray that keeps working for weeks afterward to catch anything that survives. You can see the temperatures that kill bed bugs in full.
While heat treatment will kill off bed bugs of all shapes and sizes, they are hardy creatures that can shrug off the heat of an ordinary hot day. Therefore, do not rely upon the warmth of a closed-up room: you need something that takes the heating level right up, which is what our professional Heat Assault equipment does.
For a bite or two picked up while travelling, careful laundering can sometimes be enough. For an actual infestation, the store-bought sprays tend to miss the eggs, so a professional treatment that ends it in a single visit usually works out cheaper than months of trying.
Not at all. Even spotless, five-star hotels and brand-new homes can suffer from bed bugs. If they are brought in from another location, bed bugs will find a place to live in almost any West Palm Beach property, clean or not.
More common than most people would guess. West Palm Beach is home to around 118,000 residents, and with roughly 49% of homes renter-occupied across Palm Beach County, there are plenty of multi-unit buildings where bed bugs can spread from one home to the next.
Bed bugs are not a sign that a home is dirty. Most of the time they arrive by hitching a ride, whether on luggage, on secondhand furniture, or in a guest’s bag, or they slip in through cracks and gaps from one unit to the next. Even spotless homes and brand-new builds around Palm Beach County can end up with them. There is more in our comprehensive guide.
In most West Palm Beach apartment and condo buildings, the landlord pays; in most single-family rentals, the tenant does unless the lease says otherwise. Florida Statute 83.51 places the duty for exterminating bed bugs on the landlord of any building with more than one unit, and bed bugs are actually named in the statute. Check your lease before paying for anything.
Unfortunately, an empty condo will not starve them out on its own. These pests can wait out a whole summer between meals, and the eggs laid before the door was locked will have hatched by the time the owner returns. If a unit sat empty since spring, it is worth a careful look at the bedding before the first guests arrive.
