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 these services: a) Biological Solution with a 90 day residual. b) Steam Heat Solution. c) Standalone Chemical Treatment. Companies who have these can meet your needs depending on activity levels and budget.
The Gold Standard for Infestations, we vacuum infested areas first and then provide the steam heat treatment solution. The steam heat is raised to 212 degrees and targeted to certain areas to kill the bed bugs, nymphs and eggs. While no one treatment is 100% full proof, we pair it with a chemical solution and/or biological solution for a 90-day residual, and a 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.

Yes—our heat treatment system is specifically designed for Boston's classic architecture. We treat triple-deckers, brownstones, and row houses daily. Our equipment can treat all three floors on the same day.
Absolutely. Our steam heat treatment can be used with ZERO chemicals—just temperature and our biological solution for a 90-day residual. 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.
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.
