What is bed bug treatment?
A plain-English overview of what's included and how it works.
Bed bug treatment eliminates every life stage — adults, nymphs, and eggs — using whole-room heat, targeted chemical application, or a combined protocol. Heat is the most reliable single-visit solution; chemical treatments cost less but require multiple visits. Every job includes prep guidance and a 60-day guarantee.
