Bed bug extermination costs can be difficult for homeowners and building managers to estimate. Unlike termites or other pests, bed bugs live within walls and furniture. This means that it’s hard to know where they’re hiding, which makes it tough to prevent them from coming back after a treatment. Bed bugs also move fast—they can travel as far as 100 feet in just one night!
Although it’d be nice if we could just sprinkle some fairy dust on your home or business and instantly get rid of the problem, we’ve got some bad news: there isn’t a single product out there that instantly kills all bed bugs. For example: If you spray insecticides inside your home without first doing an inspection first (and treating any areas where you find evidence of bed bug activity), then you’ll likely end up killing off more than just your pesky little bloodsuckers—you’ll also kill off good insects like honeybees who pollinate plants necessary for our survival because they feed on pollen grains found within flowers’ reproductive organs called anthers; thusly creating seeds which eventually grow into new plants! It’s important not only knowing where they hide but also understanding what type pesticides work best against each type of pest infestation before deciding how best approach treating them with chemical solutions like fumigants (which emit toxic gases), pesticides sprayed directly onto surfaces where pests might reside; dusts applied directly above their resting spots; liquids poured directly onto colonies etcetera).
While it is possible for the average person to treat their own home by spraying insecticides, it is recommended that you contact a professional exterminator.
While it is possible for the average person to treat their own home by spraying insecticides, it is recommended that you contact a professional exterminator. The reason for this is that bed bugs can quickly become resistant to insecticides, which means that the treatments will no longer be effective. Additionally, there are certain types of bed bug extermination methods that require special equipment and knowledge. For example, heat treatment needs temperatures over 120 degrees in order to kill the pests, while fumigation requires special equipment (such as a tent) which must be set up in your home before being sealed shut so that no fresh air enters during treatment time.[2]
If you suspect your house has been infested with bed bugs but don’t want to hire an exterminator just yet because you’re on a budget or aren’t sure if there’s enough evidence for one yet—don’t worry! There are plenty of things you can do on your own first before contacting an exterminator such as:
Checking beds/sheets/clothes thoroughly for signs of bite marks (which may look like red welts). If any bites are found then either spray them with rubbing alcohol or apply lotion containing hydrocortisone.[3]
This is because bed bugs can quickly become resistant to insecticides.
As you can see, the costs of bed bug extermination can vary greatly. In addition to a one-time fee for pest control, you may also need to pay a monthly maintenance fee if your home is still infested or if the exterminator cannot guarantee that it won’t come back.
If you do choose to exterminate the bugs on your own, expect to spend around $30 on chemicals.
- If you do choose to exterminate the bugs on your own, expect to spend around $30 on chemicals. The price of insecticides depends on the volume of the bottle and brand.
- How much insecticide you have to buy depends on how big your infestation is.
Some treatments may cost as much as $300.
Some treatments may cost as much as $300.
One treatment is often not enough, and it may take up to three treatments to completely eradicate the bed bugs from your home. Be sure to keep returning to treat the area until you are sure they are completely gone.
If you hire a professional exterminator, it can cost anywhere from $200 -$9000, depending on your location and the extent of the infestation.
The cost of hiring a professional exterminator can range from $200 to $9000. This may seem like an enormous range, but the price depends on a number of factors. The size and level of infestation will determine how much time it takes for your exterminator to complete their work, which is why this factor is so important. If you have hundreds of bed bugs in your home or apartment building, it will take significantly longer for them to eliminate all traces than if there are only five or ten bed bugs present.
Another factor that impacts cost is location: pest control services are more expensive in larger cities with higher populations (due to all the extra resources needed). For example, New York City has many more pest control companies than other areas due to its location and population density — which means that NYC residents should expect higher prices than those living elsewhere who aren’t surrounded by so many pests!
The type of property being treated matters too; commercial buildings tend to require more time and effort because they’re often harder spaces for pests like bed bugs (or rodents) to nestle themselves into compared with residential properties like houses or apartments where people spend most if not all day every day sleeping (and thus making themselves vulnerable). Similarly, businesses need active employees during regular business hours whereas homeowners typically don’t—so businesses tend forward-thinking approach toward pest management practices since they know how busy those employees may be!
If you have an infestation in an apartment building or hotel, this will be more expensive than in a single-family home.
The cost of an extermination depends on several factors, including the size and layout of your home or apartment. It also depends on the number of infested rooms in your building, along with their size and furniture. If bed bugs are found in multiple rooms and you live in an apartment building or hotel, this will be more expensive than if they were found only in one room of a single-family home.
For an apartment building with 20 apartments, expect to pay an exterminator between $7000-$9000 for treatment.
The average cost for apartment building exterminations usually ranges from $7000 to $9000 depending on the size of the building. If you live in a major city, you can expect to pay more than if you live outside of one. For example, in New York City, apartment buildings with 20 units can cost up to $9000 while those located in smaller cities may only be around $7500.
Note that this doesn’t include any costs associated with extermination after treatment has been done (e.g., replacing furniture), so be sure to get an estimate of those costs as well when working with an exterminator or pest control company.
Unfortunately bed bugs can survive for up to a year without eating and are incredibly hardy. They can survive for long periods in temperatures as low as -13C and as high as 50C when exposed directly to sunligh
Unfortunately bed bugs can survive for up to a year without eating and are incredibly hardy. They can survive for long periods in temperatures as low as -13C and as high as 50C when exposed directly to sunlight.
In fact, it’s often said that the best way to kill a bed bugs is by exposing them to heat (and their eggs). Bed bugs cannot survive temperatures above 43 degrees Celsius (109 degrees Fahrenheit), so if you have an infestation of this size, then you need not look any further: just turn your house into an oven!

This depends on where you are living and the severity of your infestation
The cost of bed bug extermination depends on the severity of your infestation. If you live in an apartment building or hotel, expect to pay more than if you own a single family home. Bed bugs can survive for up to a year without eating, so if you have multiple infested rooms, expect to spend more.
Bed bugs are incredibly hardy insects that can hide virtually anywhere in your home or business and still survive for long periods of time without feeding on blood (although they will eventually die without it). They are also very difficult to eradicate completely because they live in cracks and crevices throughout your home as well as between adjoining walls.
