How much does it cost to treat bed bugs?

Bed bugs don't care who you are or how much money you have.

It’s true, bed bug infestations have grown at alarming rates over the last several years. In fact, the Greenville/Spartanburg SC area is in the top 25 cities in the U.S. for bed bug activity. Bed bugs are easily transferred from one person to another when traveling by plane, bus, train, and cabs. The reason for the huge influx of bed bug infestations is increased travel, especially overseas travel.

Why does it cost so much to get rid of bed bugs?

Due to bed bugs developing resistance to chemical treatments over the years, and the inability to get the chemical to all places needed to make sure all bed bugs are eliminated, we just can’t offer a guarantee with chemical treatments. We can offer a guarantee with Bed Bug Heat Remediation though. With heat remediation, we are able to penetrate all the areas necessary to make sure we get all bed bug adults, eggs and all stages between. With our special heat treatment rig, we can heat the home enough to make sure even the most elusive bed bug will die. No bed bugs are safe from heat, not even bed bugs hiding in carpets, walls, mattresses, couch cushions, or even in your favorite recliner. 

It is a lot of work setting up for a heat treatment, there are special heaters and fans that need to be strategically placed throughout the home. We then have to place anywhere from 4 to 6 remote heat sensors in each room. These sensors send information back to a computer which we monitor to make sure we bring the home up to the correct temperature and let us know when we’ve reached the correct amount of time at that temperature. It takes several hours to bring the home up to the 135℉. This temperature then has to be maintained for several hours to make sure we kill all the bed bugs. We usually arrive at a home at 9 am to start and it takes most of the working day to complete.

We know the cost to treat bed bugs isn’t cheap. We know there are people out there that will treat your home for cheaper. We also know we hear from people daily after they have used one of these cheaper options and then need treatment done right. Make sure you choose correctly when dealing with bed bugs. Saving a little money sounds great until you realize that cheap treatment didn’t work. Go with a bed bug expert, do your research, know the company you are going to deal with. Look at reviews, testimonials, ask around.

We have been using Walker pest management for two years now and they do an awesome job. They answer any questions we have and always makes us feel secure knowing we’re not going to be bothered by those nasty little palmetto bugs, and creatures! Anytime we’ve ever had any additional creatures in our house between treatments or pest management always comes out and gives us an extra treatment although that has really had to happen. We love walk past management!

I've been using this company since 2019. I moved to SC from Indiana, and I'm not used to the size of some of the bugs around here. The first time a scary one made it in my house, I called Walker Pest. I've maintained a quarterly service contract with them ever since! It makes a world of difference, especially when you live in a rural area. I'm surrounded by woods and fields, so the critters are abundant. When I moved, they cleared the new house of existing issues and now help me keep it critter-free.
