Bed Bug Treatment Prices
Introduction
Bed bugs can be a real nuisance, especially if you live in an apartment building. No one wants to bring their guests home to a place that has them crawling around, so taking care of the problem quickly is important. Unfortunately, bed bugs are difficult to get rid of and can multiply rapidly, which means that hiring professional treatment is usually necessary. This guide will help you figure out what your options are and how they might affect your budget:
Average Bed Bug Treatment Cost
To get an idea of the average bed bug treatment cost, it’s important to know the range of prices you can expect. There are a variety of factors that affect the price of a bed bug treatment, including:
- The number of rooms being treated
- The size and type of furniture being treated (beds and mattresses are more expensive than dressers)
The cost for treating one room is generally between $300 and $500, with two-bedroom apartments costing about twice as much. You’ll pay more for larger spaces or if you have furniture that needs special attention. Many companies also offer discounts if you sign up for multiple treatments at once—so ask your local pest control company if this option is available.
Professional Bed Bug Exterminators
- Bed bug exterminators can cost as much as $2000, depending on the size of your home and whether you need to purchase additional materials.
- Certified and trained professionals are required by law to have a license, which is available through the state in which they operate. An exterminator who is licensed will also have insurance coverage for any damages that occur during treatment.
- As with all tradesmen involved in private home maintenance services, bed bug exterminators carry a reputation for good workmanship and customer service; it’s important that you choose someone who has built up a solid reputation among their clients so as not to find yourself saddled with an unscrupulous individual who will cut corners or provide shoddy workmanship.
DIY Bed Bug Treatment
If you’re not ready to call a professional exterminator, there are still some things you can do on your own to help eliminate bed bugs.
- Spray the mattress and box spring with a product containing insecticide. Many products are available at hardware stores, such as Suspend SC by Rentokil. The EPA recommends using products labeled for bed bug treatment as well as those that contain highly-regulated active ingredients like pyrethrins or synthetic pyrethroids (permethrin). Read product labels carefully before purchasing and follow all instructions for use.* Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any visible bed bugs from floors and other surfaces throughout your home.* Wash all clothing, towels and linens in hot water before drying them on high heat for at least 20 minutes.* Use a steamer cleaner on furniture such as dressers or nightstands where you may have found evidence of infestation.* Cover mattresses with an encasement resistant to heat up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius) that has been pre-treated with long-lasting insecticides* Check out our article “How Do I Know if I Have Bed Bugs?” for more information about identifying this pest!
How to Prevent Bed Bugs
- Clean your house thoroughly. Bedbugs can’t survive without a blood meal, so keeping your home clean will help to prevent them from hitching a ride back home with you.
- Don’t bring old furniture into your home. Old furniture is often infested with bedbugs, and if not properly inspected or treated for bedbugs before bringing it in, they could easily spread to other pieces of furniture throughout the house.
- Don’t leave food out on counters overnight (or ever). If you have snacks lying around on the kitchen counter after dinner at night, keep them in an airtight container (or even better: put them away!) so that no one gets tempted by an open bag of chips—and so there are no crumbs for bedbugs to feast on!
- Keep pets off beds when sleeping in public spaces such as hotels or Airbnbs where there’s less likelihood of regular cleaning happening between guests. Pets like dogs tend not only support human health but also carry their own fleas which may potentially carry diseases themselves; therefore keeping pets off beds while traveling helps everyone stay healthy!
Bed bug treatment can get pricey, but it is possible to treat yourself.
If you are looking to treat bed bugs yourself, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, take some time to research the topic and talk with experts before starting the treatment process. While killing bed bugs can be easy in theory, it’s important not to underestimate their ability to hide and survive on small amounts of blood.
Secondly, when trying out do-it-yourself methods for treating an infestation, don’t forget that professional help is available if you need it. Even if you’re confident in your abilities as a DIYer (and we hope that’s true), it can still be helpful to get advice from someone who knows what they’re doing before jumping into a potentially hazardous situation like this one! Additionally: make sure all areas of your home are clear of clutter because clutter provides more places where bedbugs can hide from steam cleaning or vacuuming; use both steam cleaning and vacuuming together; follow up with heat treatments after using steam cleaners or vacuuting because heat will kill any remaining eggs (or larvae) left behind which may otherwise hatch later on down the road after being born without having been exposed directly beforehand.; clean all items in contact with infected areas such as mattresses (if possible remove mattress entirely) pillows sheets etc., then wash them thoroughly; finally wash all clothing worn during infestations as well since these items may also carry eggs/larvae–this includes underwear too!
Conclusion
We hope this article has helped you to understand how much a bed bug treatment can cost. The good news is that there are many options available, and while they may not be the cheapest, it’s important to weigh your options before making any decisions. We recommend going with an exterminator if you have a serious infestation or fear an outbreak could occur in the near future. These experts know what they’re doing, and will do their best to safely eliminate all traces of bed bugs from your home within just one day!
