Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are heat treatments safe for the house?
Yes. The heat is controlled and monitored to the right temperature range, and electronics and heat-sensitive items are handled beforehand. Pets and family are out of the home during the treatment.
Q: How did we get bed bugs?
Bed bugs hitchhike on luggage, furniture, and clothing. In Hitchcock, they move through multi-unit housing and the rental market, so a unit with turnover is more at risk.
Q: Do you treat the whole building or just the room?
For multi-unit buildings, we treat the affected unit and inspect the adjacent units, because bed bugs travel through walls and shared spaces.
Q: How much does bed bug treatment cost in Hitchcock?
A whole-room heat treatment runs $1,500 to $3,500 in Hitchcock, with chemical treatments from $300 to $900. The exact quote depends on the size of the room and the severity of the infestation.
Q: How many treatments does it take?
Most infestations are eliminated in one to two treatments, with a follow-up inspection to confirm. Heat treatment typically works in a single visit; chemical treatment may need a second pass.
