    Yes we do offer Financing, click here to apply
  • How hot does my home get during treatment?
    During service, we raise temperatures to approximately 135°F–140°F, which is lethal to bed bugs at all stages of development.
  • How long does bed bug heat treatment take?
    Most treatments are completed in less than 8 hours. The exact time depends on the size of the property and severity of the infestation.
  • Do I have to throw away my mattress or furniture?
    In most cases, no. Heat treatment is designed to eliminate bed bugs without requiring you to discard mattresses or furniture, provided items are heat-safe and properly prepared.
  • Is any preparation required before service?
    Yes. Preparation may include reducing clutter, laundering certain fabrics, and removing heat-sensitive items such as aerosols, candles, medications, and meltable materials. We provide a detailed preparation checklist before your appointment.
  • Do you use chemicals with heat treatment?
    For added protection, we may apply a professional-grade pesticide with an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) after the heat service to help prevent reinfestation and provide long-term control.
  • How much does bed bug heat treatment cost?
    Pricing varies depending on the size of the home and the level of infestation. We provide clear, upfront estimates after assessing your specific situation.
  • Do you treat apartments and commercial properties?
    Yes. We provide bed bug heat treatment for single-family homes, apartments, multi-family housing, and select commercial properties.
  • Is heat treatment safe for my home and belongings?
    Yes. When performed by trained professionals, heat treatment is safe for your home. We carefully monitor temperatures and ensure sensitive items are removed or protected.
  • Will I need more than one treatment?
    In most cases, one treatment is sufficient. 
  • Can bed bugs come back after heat treatment?
    Heat treatment eliminates existing infestations, but bed bugs can return if reintroduced. Preventative measures and optional follow-up treatments help reduce this risk.
  • Do I need to leave my home during treatment?
    Yes. For safety reasons, all occupants and pets must vacate the property during the heat treatment process.
  • What should I do after the treatment is complete?
    After treatment, you can return once temperatures normalize. Avoid bringing in untreated items, and follow any post-treatment recommendations provided to maintain results.
  • Will heat treatment damage electronics or appliances?
    Most electronics are safe at treatment temperatures, but we recommend powering them off. We’ll guide you on what should be removed or protected beforehand.
