Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Bed Bugs in Boston

Contact us for a free inspection. Bed bug treatment costs vary depending on the number of rooms treated, and the type of service done, depending on the activity level.

There are few companies who provide the four services: a) Heat treatment b) Biological Solution c) Steam Cleaning & Chemical Solution and d) Standalone Treatment. Companies who have these can meet your needs depending on activity levels and budget.

Heat is raised to 125-135 degrees for several hours, which kills bed bugs, nymphs and eggs. While no one treatment is 100% full proof, we pair it with either a biological solution or a chemical solution for a residual and 3 month warranty, and free inspection.

According to Boston Public Health data (2024), the neighborhoods with highest bed bug activity are: Allston/Brighton (college rentals), South End (high-density apartments), Back Bay (Airbnb units), Fenway (student housing), Dorchester (multi-family homes), and East Boston (triple-deckers). MBTA Green and Red Line stations also report frequent sightings

Absolutely. Bed bugs feed on human blood, not pets. They don't care if you have cats, dogs, or live alone. They hide in mattresses, box springs, bed frames, couches, baseboards, electrical outlets, and even picture frames. Boston's triple-deckers and brownstones with shared walls make it easy for bed bugs to travel between units—even if you're spotlessly clean. Cleanliness does NOT prevent bed bugs.

Look for these 5 signs: 1) Red, itchy welts in lines or clusters. 2) Tiny blood spots on sheets. 3) Dark brown/black fecal stains on mattress seams. 4) Shed skins. 5) Live bugs – apple seed-sized, reddish-brown. If you see even ONE sign, contact us for a FREE inspection.

We offer same-day and next-day service throughout Back Bay, South End, and all Boston neighborhoods. Fill out the form before 10 AM and we can often inspect same day. Our canine team is dispatched from our Dedham facility and covers all of Greater Boston within 45–90 minutes. For heat treatment, we book within 24–72 hours depending on severity. Emergency weekend service is available.

Yes—our heat treatment system is specifically designed for Boston's classic architecture. We treat triple-deckers, brownstones, and row houses daily. Our equipment heats all three floors simultaneously, and we seal shared walls to prevent bugs from escaping to neighboring units. Our treatment is 98.7% effective even as a standalone service.

Absolutely. Our heat treatment uses ZERO chemicals—just temperature. It's 100% safe for infants, pregnant women, elderly residents, and pets. You'll need to vacate for 8–10 hours during treatment (great time for a day trip to the Boston Common or Seaport!), but you can return the same evening. No lingering fumes, no toxic residue, no health risks.

For heat treatment: 8–10 hours total. We start early (usually 7–8 AM), and you can return by dinner time the same day. No waiting period after. For any chemical follow-up spot treatments (rare), we ask for 4 hours. Unlike other companies that require 24–48 hour evacuation with chemicals, our heat-first approach gets you back home faster and safer.

Yes—this is extremely common in Boston's connected housing. Bed bugs travel through wall voids, electrical conduits, pipes, and even baseboards between units. If your neighbor has bed bugs and doesn't treat them, you're at high risk. Many Boston property managers now require building-wide heat treatments to prevent reinfestation.

98.7% elimination after one treatment with our 90-day guarantee. The 1.3% that need follow-up are usually cases where residents brought in new infested items or neighbors weren't treated. Our heat protocol meets Entomological Society standards (120°F+ for 90 minutes kills all stages). We've treated over 2,400 Boston-area properties since 2012.

We strongly recommend whole-apartment treatment. Bed bugs travel—if they're in your bedroom, they're likely also in your living room furniture, closets, and baseboards. Treating just one room pushes them into untreated areas, and they'll return in 3–4 weeks. Whole-apartment heat treatment actually SAVES money by preventing re-treatment.

Yes! We serve all Greater Boston communities including: Brookline, Newton, Needham, Wellesley, Quincy, Braintree, Milton, Waltham, Watertown, Belmont, Arlington, Dedham, West Roxbury, Roslindale, Hyde Park. Same-day service, same guarantees, same pricing.
