Bed Bug Treatments: Combo
Bed bugs are elusive pests that can cause significant distress in your living space. These nighttime nuisances often hide near their hosts, with about 90% of them residing within eight feet. Their bites can lead to discomfort and sleepless nights. Hence, addressing a bed bug infestation promptly is critical to maintaining a healthy home. Understanding this will help you understand the most effective bed bug treatments.
We offer two highly effective treatments for bed bugs: chemical and heat. Combining these methods enhances overall effectiveness. The heat treatment targets the most affected room, achieving a kill rate of up to 99%. Meanwhile, our comprehensive chemical treatment is systematically applied throughout the rest of your living area, with residual effects lasting up to 60 days. This ensures that any bed bugs that venture into treated areas are eliminated efficiently.
When considering pest control options, affordability does not have to compromise quality. Our bed bug extermination services are competitively priced, making it easier for you to regain comfort in your home without breaking the bank. We are dedicated to providing efficient and cost-effective solutions that ensure thorough eradication of these pesky invaders. So, if you’re facing a bed bug problem, don’t hesitate to reach out for our combined chemical and heat treatment package. Call us today for pricing and get back to a peaceful night’s sleep!
Heat treatment is quickly becoming the most trusted form of bed bug removal. The treatment is safe for your family, pets, and will not harm your belongings. Even resilient bed bugs do not handle extreme heat. After being exposed to 122 degrees for a few minutes all adult bed bugs and their eggs will die. Depending on where the eggs are or hiding increases the time needed to treat the area. We heat the living area to 120-140 degrees for 5 hours to make sure all areas get exposed to the lethal temperature. We use heaters specifically made for the bed bug industry. The average heater operates at an ambient temperature of 113 degrees for a short periods of time. Because of that, killing bed bugs safely and effectively requires these specific heaters. Heaters that with stand high temperatures for long periods of time. Using industry leading heaters and our knowledge of bed bugs and their hiding habits, we heat the living area to the proper temperature and eliminate the infestation typically in 1 treatment. We heat the area for 5 hours at the kill temperature but the process takes 8-10 hours. First, we set up our equipment and get the ambient temperature close to the kill temperature. Once that is achieved, we start the 5-hour clock. Finally, cooling and removing the equipment takes about an hour. You are back in your home on the same day.

Bed Bug Chemical Treatment Chemical bed bug treatments get a bad rap. Advances in pesticide manufacturing resulted in the development of products with dual-active ingredients. This ground breaking technology is changing public opinion. The main intents are to broaden activity against a greater number of target pests, and increase effectiveness against hard-to-control ones like bed bugs. Our product is being used by a growing number of pest controllers. Because pyrethroid and neonicotinoid insecticides have different modes of action, the hope is that the combination of ingredients produces superior results against pyrethroid-resistant populations. This greatly increased the effectiveness of chemical spray treatments over the last 7 years. Chemical treatments offer a challenge to the most seasoned exterminator. Diligence is required from the occupant to eliminate an infestation. For this reason, companies offer limited guarantees for chemical treatments. Chemical treatments remain an affordable and effective way to eliminate bed bugs if administered properly. We also offer a chemical and heat treatment combo that is a good option. The combo offers the affordability of spray along with the added benefit of killing eggs before they hatch with heat.

What Our Customers Say
Elizabeth Singleton2024-10-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. UPDATE - OVER 30 DAYS AND NO BED BUGS SURVIVED! I discovered bed bugs in my home. Instead of a general exterminator, I thought a company named Affordable Bed Bug Exterminator must specialize in the problem. I was right. From my first telephone call answered by Doug through the exterminating process, where the gentleman was kind enough to turn out all the lights when he left, I am 💯 % pleased. Discovering a colony at 430 am freaked me out and despite knowing better, I still felt like I was at fault. Growing up there was a stigma in having bed bugs. I started researching what to do and quickly decided I needed a professional. Doug answered the phone. He reassured me and made me feel less disgusted with myself. He answered all my questions from how could this happen to me to details on each chemical being used. He advised they have done over 5000 homes, that long-term experienced people make a difference in getting rid of bed bugs, that legally I didn't have to tell neighbors but to check my HOA rules, and that he could have someone exterminate my place the next day. The only prep work I had to do was stripping my beds and packing up those linens to take somewhere with a dryer. Based on my description, my infestation was moderate. The cost of $600 was less than I expected. Their success rate averages 95% as some bugs have developed resistance to some chemicals. Following the 30 days, if I saw them still active, I could get a 2nd treatment with a 4th kind of chemical for $150, which then was 99% effective. I made an appointment. The gentleman showed up on time. His vehicle did not advertise the company, preventing any embarrassment. He examined my home, listened to my history, explained the process, advised he has 15 years of experience with hed bugs, and explained not to breathe the stuff for 2 hours and then stay out 5 hours to give time for the chemicals to dry, I can sweep but no washing the floors or objects/areas treated so as not to remove the chemicals which continue to work up to 30 days. The process kills the bed bugs in all stages, destroys the eggs, is tracked back to nests, and creates a barrier so they don't visit my neighbors. Furniture would be moved away from walls and chairs, and mattresses, and couches upended. Baseboards, closets, drapes, and outlets were all treated. When I came home, all the above was true. Took me a half hour to put things back in place and restore cushions, couch, chairs, and beds. I have not seen any bed bugs since the treatment yesterday, but he had explained we might see some in the next 10 days but they would be lethargically headed back to their nests (we want them to do so.). Info for everyone. My grandchild had bites a couple of months ago. I slept in her bed and no bites. We thought she just had a stronger reaction to mosquitos. We didn't realize it was bed bugs until my partner was bitten and we saw a few bugs and the signs listed on the Internet. HALF THE POPULATION DOES NOT HAVE A REACTION TO BED BUG BITES. They were still biting me. I just didn't know it. In 30 days I hope to update this with complete success. I know it's a long review but I am sure many have never been faced with this experience and probably have the same initial shock wondering what to do. michelle jaskulski2024-07-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went above and beyond to help us out with last minute service when Batzner left us in a pinch. Customer service and technician were both professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Will be using them going forward! Brittany Sutton2024-02-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank goodness I was not infested with bedbugs. But we did find some. When they said we will get them I was a Little skeptical. But my goodness not seeing anything. Nobody has been bitten and it’s been almost 30 days. Still about 2 weeks left of the 30 days. But yet again I was not infested that bad. Every case is different. But I think for my case case closed. They guaranteed their work and they lived by it gave me a lot of knowledge too, on what to look for. Thank you so much because I have a special needs son. I can’t be having pest running my house. God bless your company. Zakarie Lenski2024-02-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with Doug and James after bringing extra bed bug friends home after traveling for work. They answered all our questions and understood our slight panic. Doug texted us a video so we could get our place ready for them to come in. Super helpful! Didn’t break the bank and haven’t worried since they left. Thanks guys! mmack20012023-08-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Promptly took care of our problem, James did a great job for me and my downstairs neighbors!
