| Compare on | The usual route Chemical only | What we run, every job Heat + residual |
|---|---|---|
| Kills eggs | No | Yes, with every other stage |
| Visits needed | Two to four, weeks apart | One |
| Your furniture | Often discarded | Treated where it stands |
| Resistance | Populations adapt to the product | Nothing adapts to 122°F |
| Room out of service | Weeks, between repeat sprays | Hours |
Bed bugs die at 118°F held about 90 minutes; 122°F kills almost instantly. The residual product keeps working for weeks afterwards, so anything that arrives later does not restart the problem.
If you run a hospitality establishment like a hotel or motel, then you know how important client satisfaction is. Keeping clients onside, though, is not easy – you need to maintain elite standards to keep those 5-star reviews coming in. Well, one of the easiest ways to make sure you get negative reviews is to let bed bugs run loose in your establishment!
At BBE, we regularly work with hotel and motel owners in Florida who are dealing with bed bugs. Florida is among the worst states in America for bed bugs, with a constant presence due to the humid weather and population density. Florida is also one of the most visitor-friendly states in the country, resulting in bed bugs being brought into our homes and businesses simply by latching onto people traveling.
When your business begins to have problems with bed bugs, you might have already tried the typical options. You might have used some DIY solutions, tried online prevention techniques, or even turned to chemical treatment for bed bugs. Nothing seems to work, though, right? You are not alone in this issue.
Luckily, we are here to help you resolve the issue and get rid of any bed bugs in your hotel or motel once and for all. At BBE, we offer comprehensive solutions for removing bed bugs for a minimum of 60 days.
Instead of enjoying a week or two of peace from bed bugs, we use a proven form of treatment—heat treatment—to kill bed bugs rapidly. This method ensures that bed bugs are killed off and removed from the hotel or motel that you operate for a significant period. The only way for bed bugs to return to your property is through re-infestation; we use a method that kills ALL present bed bugs.
Looking for support in dealing with bed bugs? Contact us today to discuss an investigation. We can check your hotel and motel for any signs of bed bugs and then begin treatment as soon as possible.Contact us today to arrange an inspection, and we can make sure your business never has to deal with bed bugs ever again!
Heat transfer fluid is drawn from the unit’s 130-gallon reservoir and pumped through dual coil heaters to 205°F before returning for phase two. Output reaches 600,000 BTU/hr — roughly three times an electric system — which is what makes whole-structure treatment possible in a single appointment rather than room by room. A residual product goes down with it, per its label, on every job.
Heat Assault needs the least preparation of any method: laundry put away, clutter reduced so hoses and manifolds fit, and heat-sensitive items removed. Bedding stays on the bed and furniture is treated in place. The full list is on our pre-treatment checklist.
Live plants, candles, lipstick, crayons and deodorants; wine, chocolate and fresh produce; vinyl records, videos and cassettes; aerosols, propane and other pressurised containers; lithium-ion batteries; irreplaceable oil paintings and family photographs. Small items can go in the refrigerator or oven.
Every person and every animal — including birds, fish and reptiles — leaves for the whole treatment and for two hours afterwards. Fish tanks and caged animals are moved out beforehand. We give you written preparation and re-entry instructions, and products are applied per label directions.
Priced by the size of the property, starting at $1,800, with most homes between $1,800 and $2,800. The number covers inspection, the heat cycle, the residual spray, furniture treated in place and the guarantee. No per-room fees, no return-visit fees, no fuel surcharges. Full detail on the cost page.
Every treatment carries a 60-day written guarantee. If bed bugs are still present inside that window we come back and treat again at no charge.
Heat can reach every part of a property, not one room or area generally.
Unmarked vehicles, and no mention of bed bugs anywhere a guest can see.
A single-day treatment, so the room is sold that night rather than next week.
One review naming bed bugs costs more than the treatment does.

Bed Bug Exterminator750 4th Ave S Unit 304, St. Petersburg
Bed bugs are a prominent problem, and they could impact how guests and tenants view your business. Anyone finding bed bugs in your property is unlikely to enjoy the experience and is more likely to leave a negative review. Bed bugs can also be a surefire way to make sure that someone does not come back to your hotel or motel in the future.
At BBE, we recommend searching for signs of bed bugs before the complaints can come in. Some of the most common signs of bed bugs in a hotel or motel include:
If you spot one of these symptoms, it could be a sign that you have a bed bug problem. If you spot more than one of these signs, it is almost certain that you have bed bugs crawling around the place. So, you should be ready and willing to take action and get rid of bed bugs in hotels and motels ASAP!
Are you not sure if you have bed bugs or want to confirm? Contact BBE to arrange an investigation of your property. We can come to your hotel or motel and spot bed bugs.
The main reason is quite simple: people. Bed bugs thrive on blood, meaning that if your hotel or motel has lots of people in it, then there is equally lots of blood. Bed bugs are the kind of pest that can feed on blood, wait for a prolonged period, and then return to re-feed. So, if your hospitality venue is constantly seeing people coming and going, bed bugs are given a permanent place to feed from.
That is a problem in itself, not least because the bed bugs are likely to continue to feast. Unless you kill off bed bugs, they are not going to go anywhere. These pests will linger anywhere that gives them access to bedding and furniture with people to feast from: what better place to turn to than a hotel or motel?
This extensive presence is primarily why you have to make getting rid of bed bugs your utmost priority. Bed bugs are not going to move on of their own volition: if your property gives them access to people to feed on, they will continue to stick around. Then, it is only a matter of time before a guest is bitten.
The reputational impact of someone being bitten on the premises is incredible. You will find that this could be a damaging issue for your company’s reputation. It could even lead to problems such as health and safety inspections, forced shutdowns, and, in more severe situations, legal action after a guest takes an allergic reaction to being bitten. So, you should not ignore the severity of bed bugs appearing in your business.
Sadly, yes. Bed bugs love Florida because of the weather. The weather means that bed bugs are attracted to Florida. These creatures love a hot and humid climate that stays warm most of the year. Does that sound familiar to you? It should!
Unfortunately, Florida is a haven for bed bugs to thrive. They are unlikely to move on from any property that gives them an opportunity to keep on feeding, too. With Florida’s cities being so dense in population and property spacing, bed bugs can make it easy to move from one property to another. They can move from houses into hotels and from hotels into businesses with consummate ease.
That can lead to some pretty major problems down the line, with infestations growing rapidly. The ideal weather and people placement, paired with the speed at which bed bugs reproduce, is a nightmare scenario. As such, there is a reason why Florida is one of the worst states in America for bed bugs!
If you worry that your business could be impacted by bed bugs or has been impacted by them, contact BBE today. The sooner we can evaluate your property for bed bugs, the sooner the issue can be removed once and for all.
Heat-sensitive items — candles, aerosols, vinyl records, some electronics — are pulled out before the cycle starts and go back afterward. Everything else, including mattresses and upholstery, is treated in place.
Yes. Everyone and every animal leaves for the whole treatment and for two hours afterwards. We call before we leave so you know when you can return.

These are real calls. The answers are word for word. The questions are our summary of what was asked, because callers do not record as clearly as we do. We never publish a caller's surname, address, phone number or price.
We just use our BBE logo, and we have our license number and our phone number, which legally we have to have on our trucks and trailers.
Answered by Dori on a call,
I got in a hotel right now. The first thing I do when I walk through the door, and thank God I'm alone, I put the clothes in the bag and go in the shower.
This is our own crew, on recorded calls. Word for word. Each one says who was talking and when.
We do what's called the combined treatment. The way that we exterminate these bed bugs is we show up in an unmarked truck and trailer. So it's very discreet.
