Bed bugs have become an increasing problem for many homeowners in South Florida in recent years and have made bed bug treatments & extermination services vital.

Summary:
Types of Bed Bug Treatments
Chemical Treatments
One of the most traditional methods for bed bug elimination is the use of chemical insecticides and pesticides. Our technicians are fully licensed and trained in the application of EPA-registered liquid and aerosol sprays specifically formulated for bed bugs.
While chemicals can work, they have some important downsides. Many common store-bought sprays and bombs have limited effectiveness these days as bed bugs have grown resistant over time. It also means handling nasty chemicals yourself that must be applied precisely as directed.
Our professionals take a more comprehensive approach to kill bed bugs. We thoroughly inspect your home to identify all the areas of bed bug infestations before precisely targeting problem spots. Ongoing monitoring and retreatment if needed helps prevent leftover bugs from restarting the cycle.
Heat It to Sweep Them Away
Did you know heat is the gold standard for completely ridding yourself of those pesky hitchhikers? At East Coast Pest Control, we are uniquely equipped with commercial-grade thermal remediation systems to heat entire rooms or structures to extreme temperatures.
Through convection heating methods, our machines slowly raise areas to 130-140°F and maintain it for several hours. This non-toxic process kills bed bugs of all life stages, including bed bug eggs, on contact through dehydration. Plus, it penetrates deep into cracks and crevices where they hide without worrying about flawed chemical application. You’ll be bug-free in no time thanks to our controlled and monitored heat treatments. No more itchy bites or endless stress!
DIY Heat Rentals – Go Solo If You Dare
For smaller, contained infestations, some opt to “DIY” with rented heaters rather than contact a professional bed bug exterminator. We do offer affordable rental options if you’re feeling brave. However, going solo means taking full responsibility for everything that could go wrong without guidance.
Mistimed or incorrect use may only traumatize bugs without true elimination. Meanwhile, lingering pests could rapidly regain control. Don’t change a botched job when our licensed technicians handle it right the first time, guaranteed. Call East Coast Pest Control today. One of our experts can discuss your specific situation and budget to design a customized treatment plan for your home. Sleep soundly tonight!

Inspection and Treatment Process
The first step to eliminating your bed bug problem is our licensed technicians performing a comprehensive inspection of your entire home. These pests are sneaky, so inspectors put their detective skills to work identifying signs of an infestation and its full scope. They scrutinize likely hiding spots like mattress seams, bed frames, headboards, nightstands, and any other furniture or décor nearby for live bugs, droppings, eggs, or reddish-brown stains as evidence. Our team even employs special monitoring devices that use heat and carbon dioxide to lure any remaining hidden bugs out of the woodwork after hours. This extensive reconnaissance informs the most effective bed bug control strategy.
Customized Combat: Your Personalized Battle Plan
With intelligence gathered, our experts sit down with you to discuss customized treatment options. Every home and situation requires a tailored plan of attack. Some properties may only need a one-time targeted chemical treatment whereas more complex infestations involving multiple rooms demand the deployment of heat equipment throughout a few sessions.
