COMMERCIAL EXTERMINATORS FOR BED BUGS: COST OF REMOVAL AND HOW TO GET A FAIR DEAL

Bed bugs can be a very itchy problem for homeowners! Not only are those annoying, blood-sucking pests that often reside in mattresses liable to leave you with a rash, but getting rid of them will cost you some money, too. But how much do best bug control methods cost and how can you be sure that you’re not being overcharged? Read on to find out.
DIY Bed Bug Control Products Cost
DIY bed bug control products can cost as little as $10 to $20, but many homeowners end up having to spend much more than the initial investment. This is because bed bugs usually can’t be completely eliminated with just one spray or DIY treatment. In the long run, homeowners may end up spending just as much money on DIY products as they would on a professional exterminator.
Bed Bug Costs to Exterminate
The cost to exterminate bed bugs will depend on where the bed bugs are located in a home, the size of an infestation and a number of other factors. In most cases, the cost to remove bed bugs in a home will run somewhere between $500 and $1500.
Making Sure You’re Getting Your Money’s Worth
In order to make sure that you’re not being over charged for bed bug pest control, be sure to do the following:
1. Look for an exterminator that charges a case-by-case fee, not a flat rate. There are a number of ways to remove bed bugs, and the differences between methods result in differences in cost. Exterminators that charge flat fees are usually much more expensive because they set a high standard fee that will cover the cost of any type of bed bug removal method. In order for you to be assured a fair price, the exterminator must actually inspect your home and recommend treatments based on the actual conditions.
2. Talk to more than one pest control professional. While you do usually need to pay for an inspection, paying the money to have at least two exterminators look at your property and give you a quote for removal can help you save in the long run.
3. Find out what you’re getting for your money. The most effective bed bug removal methods will involve more than just a heat treatment, freezing or pesticides. Cleaning, fumigating, steaming and other methods are usually combined in an effective, comprehensive treatment. If one pest control professional is charging way less than others, he or she may be providing you with way less as well.
4. Ask about licensing and insurance. Make sure that the pest control professional you are hiring is licensed to do business in your state and fully insured in case something goes wrong during the treatment.
