FAQ
Bed Bug Treatment — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions our licensed exterminators receive about bed bug treatment in Washington, D.C., including costs, treatment timelines, preparation steps, and what results to expect.
How much does bed bug treatment cost in DC?
Bed Bug Treatment is billed at a flat $199/hr, 1-hour minimum, no matter the pest type or severity. Every job includes an inspection and an upfront estimate before any work begins — the rate never changes based on what we find.
Is heat treatment or chemical treatment better for bed bugs?
Heat treatment kills all life stages in a single day and is chemical-free. Chemical treatment costs less but requires 2-3 follow-up visits. We recommend heat treatment for severe infestations and chemical treatment for early-stage problems.
How do I know if I have bed bugs?
Signs include small red bite marks in lines or clusters, tiny dark spots on sheets (fecal stains), shed skins near mattress seams, and a sweet musty odor. We offer inspections and K-9 detection for definitive confirmation.
Can my landlord be responsible for bed bug treatment costs?
In DC, landlords are generally required to pay for bed bug extermination in rental apartments under the DC Housing Maintenance Code. We can provide documentation to support your case.
How long after treatment until bed bugs are gone?
Heat treatment eliminates bed bugs the same day. Chemical treatment typically requires 2-3 treatments over 3-4 weeks to ensure all eggs have hatched and been treated. We guarantee our work with follow-up inspections.
