Milwaukee’s Trusted Bed Bug Exterminators 

If you are set on finding a very cost-effective chemical or biological solution, local options like Affordable Bed Bug Exterminators are usually the best bet, as they charge significantly lower rates, usually between $400 and $800 on average for a 1-3 bedroom house.

These cutting-edge chemical treatments often utilize innovative products such as Apprehend that provide a residual barrier to insects that makes them unable to pass until they are dead.

Because a chemical treatment requires a painstaking spraying of the baseboards, crevices, and bed frames in your home, you may want to consider calling a company that offers to treat the whole home in a single flat fee for a more predictable price, as you could save thousands by avoiding national corporate chains.

On the other hand, if you are looking for a rapid, non-chemical way to get rid of the infestation, professional-grade heat treatment is the best option, as it is the swiftest way to de-infest a home or business.

This method uses industrial-grade heating equipment to raise the temperature of the treated area to between 118°F and 122°F, successfully baking all stages of the insect’s life cycle.

In your area, professional heat treatments charge around $400 per room, or anywhere from $1,200 to $3,200+ for a complete home treatment, depending on its square footage.

In conclusion, you should pick the method that best suits your budget and circumstances.

While chemical treatments are much more affordable and offer residual protection, they often require more preparation and can take several weeks to clear a serious infestation.

Heat treatments, while much more expensive per room and requiring you to clear all heat-sensitive items, allow you to remove the infestation in one day.

When a home has been subject to a chemical bed bug treatment, staying away for about five hours allows the treatment to settle and be safe to inhale. During bed bug treatments, the applicators use either liquid, aerosol, or dust to penetrate the deepest parts of the infestation like cracks, crevices, and along baseboards.

Staying in during the 5-hour period would expose the inhabitant to harmful fumes.

The five-hour period allows the liquid insecticide to settle into the targeted sites. After settling, the liquid then dries to form a film on the targeted surface. The film is then safe to walk on, sit on, or touch because the chemical has adhered to the targeted surface and is safe for human and pet health, although it is potent enough to kill bed bugs.

The five-hour period also allows the home to ventilate itself since most professional-grade insecticides have odors, foul smells, or volatile organic compounds as part of their formulation that needs to dissipate before the structure is habitable again.

When it comes to chemical bed bug treatment, the application itself takes little time to process. Usually, a professional who comes to your place only works 1 or 2 hours to cover all parts of your home with special liquid and aerosol sprays. However, you need to leave your home for 5 hours after the application so that the chemicals dry and clear the air of your residence. This is for your safety since you should not be exposed to liquid or gaseous toxins.

Meanwhile, a heat treatment service is something totally different. First of all, you need to call in professionals because this method is complicated and requires special machines and tools. The working process requires temperatures around 120-140 F, meaning that you have to leave your home away for at least 12 hours. Thus, a chemical treatment option has its own advantages over heat treatment.

In conclusion, your choice highly depends on how prepared you are to work on your own before the actual elimination process. A chemical treatment implies using various poisonous liquids and means that require several hours of drying. On the other hand, a heat treatment is a complete elimination of bugs through the power of heat that requires spending almost one day outside your home.

One of the problems associated with bed bug infestations is the danger of losing valuable furniture. Reputable exterminators might suggest getting rid of infested items since their treatment might not fully penetrate the surface to kill bugs and eggs. In other cases, they can refuse to handle the problem unless the furniture is thrown away, increasing the total cost of remediation by thousands of dollars for replacement costs.

Affordable Bed Bug Exterminators never ask clients to get rid of their belongings or furniture. Our team uses advanced professional treatments that effectively remove bugs from all types of surfaces and items. Our pest control company does not believe that homeowners should lose their personal possessions due to a bed bug issue.

The need to dispose of furniture is only discussed in the context of large-scale infestations affecting furniture on a regular basis. In such cases, a physical object might have been compromised to the point where its structural integrity is impacted. Otherwise, in the vast majority of cases, bugs can be removed without having to throw away any of the homeowner’s personal possessions.

At Affordable Bed Bug Exterminators, our primary bed bug treatments are supplemented by a very reasonably priced secondary chemical service for about two hundred dollars as an optional bonus. We want to ensure that you are completely free from insects because we know that dealing with infestations is a horrible process to go through, and we promise to be there for you throughout the entirety of your journey to a bug-free home.

Luckily, there is a very good chance that you will not need to use this service at all, as 96% of our customers are permanently rid of their bugs after just one visit and do not need to use our repeat customer discount. However, not all infestations are equal, and if you find yourself in the unfortunate bottom 4%, know that we will be there for you to ensure that your home is completely safe and free from bugs.

This secondary chemical service, which we provide as a courtesy to our customers, is not used to make profits off of the desperate times of those suffering from infestations. The meager two hundred dollars you pay for it goes directly to the materials needed to treat your home again and the time spent by our worker on your behalf. It is our duty to take care of our customers, and we ensure that a bug-free home is a priority.

When it comes to bed bugs, an inspection or treatment can never be halfway. Bed bugs are experts at hiding in the tiniest cracks and crevices, which is why our treatment process is incredibly thorough and invasive. To completely eliminate the infestation, we systematically target every potential hiding spot in your living spaces.

Standard Treatment Areas

Bedrooms & Living Areas: We completely focus on these high-activity zones. This includes a meticulous breakdown and treatment of:

Mattresses and box springs

Bed frames and headboards

Dressers, nightstands, and surrounding furniture

Couches, loveseats, and upholstered chairs

Structural Trim & Mouldings: Because bed bugs travel along walls, we treat all base mouldings, window mouldings, and door mouldings throughout these rooms.

Deep Furniture Inversion

We don't just spray the cushions. For couches, chairs, and loveseats, we go deep into the furniture structure:

We search the deep seams where the backrest and armrests meet (where you would normally reach down to find lost change).

We flip the furniture over, remove or cut into the bottom felt lining to treat the interior framing, and spray directly into the mechanical components of reclining furniture where bugs love to hide.

The Affordable Bed Bug Exterminators Difference: Hassle-Free Prep

Most bed bug extermination companies give you a long, tedious preparation list before they even arrive. They require you to empty all dressers, pack up all the clothes in your closet, remove all hanging pictures on the walls, and much more. It can take hours of unnecessary work, extra money to pack things up, and leaves you feeling even more stressed than you already are.

With Affordable Bed Bug Exterminators, you won't have to worry about tedious preparation. You see, we use our advanced treatment to kill bed bugs without having to have you completely strip your house down to the bone.

We provide a hassle free process that saves you time, money, and headaches with our simple 3-Step Prep Process:

Strip All Beds : Remove all bed sheets, blankets, and pillow cases from the beds that will be treated.

Dry Items That Were On the Bed: Take the items removed from the bed and insert them into a clothes dryer. Run it on high for 20-30 minutes to kill all the bed bugs. Once finished, fold them up, set aside in a clean area (ex. a kitchen table or counter not in the bedrooms) and let the professionals do their job.

Let Us Handle the Rest: Sit back, relax, and let us handle the hard work. Since we treat the bugs directly, it won't be necessary to clear out your closet, dressers, or worry about damaging any hanging pictures.

Save Time And Money From Mistakenly Trying To Do It Yourself:

Typically bed bugs are difficult to completely get rid of because many people try to treat their infestation themselves with over the counter bed bug killers, foggers, or various other remedies. These usually do not go far enough to get rid of bed bugs and their eggs that may be in box springs, along base boards, in walls, or any other places that bed bugs like to hide. Often times self treatment leads to bugs spreading to other rooms or houses which can be much more difficult and expensive to get rid of.

Sleep Soundly Knowing That All Of The Bed Bugs Are Gone: Professional extermination takes care of all stages of bed bug development from eggs to adults so you can rest knowing that they will not be coming back.

Here are some pointers to help during your bed bug eradication.
Follow Directions: Pay close attention to any preparation/care instructions that the technicians give you, especially after the treatment is done.
Stay Home: Please do not sleep elsewhere. Bed bugs need the heat and carbon dioxide from your nightly visits to the infested area to come out of their hiding places in order to cross over the treated areas. If you have to leave the house, or do not sleep there, this will cause the bed bugs to retreat back into hiding until you return.
Don't Wipe the Mist: Do not mop or clean any of the treated areas that are within 12 inches of a base board, for 28 days, or any other area where the solution may get on the furniture and then be wiped away. Vacuuming is acceptable.
Do Not Re Pack Clothes: If clothes had to be removed or heat treated, please hold off on replugging any clothes back into dresser drawers, or putting them back in bags, until you are 100% certain that the bed bugs are gone.
Do not cover any of the treated furniture until the entire infestation has been cleared, including the box spring, so that the full amount of product can remain on the bed bugs.
It is normal to see bed bugs crossing over the treated areas as they are trying to get away, but rest assured most of them will be gone within the first two weeks, with the next 1 to 2 weeks eliminating another 90% of the remaining bed bugs. If bed bugs persist beyond the fourth week, another treatment may be necessary.
