Treating in a high-rise
Apartment buildings come with logistics a house doesn't have: building management, loading docks and elevators, neighboring units, and leases that spell out who handles pest problems. Let your property manager know early. Our guides Who pays for bed bug treatment in a Virginia rental? and Virginia tenant rights and bed bugs explain the basics. Managers should see Apartments & property managers.
Arlington also has a lot of frequent flyers, government travelers and short-term residents. Hotel stays and luggage are a common way bed bugs get in, so read How to check a hotel room for bed bugs.
Treatment options
- Heat treatment, $2.00/sq ft: Getting to temperature usually takes 15 minutes to 2 hours, then we hold it for about 3 to 5 hours. Most units are done in one day, and heat jobs are retreated with Aprehend. Heat kills every life stage, eggs included.
- Aprehend, $0.75/sq ft: It's a good fit for an early infestation in a studio or one-bedroom where you sleep every night. It takes 30 to 45 days, and you may see some activity during that time. It also leaves 3-month residual protection.
- Hybrid, $0.85/sq ft plus $500 per heated room: We heat the rooms with confirmed bugs and use Aprehend in the rest of the home. You can sleep in the treated room the same night.
If you want a K9 inspection, we refer you to an independent company that only does inspections.
Don't bomb the apartment
In a multi-unit building, foggers can push bed bugs toward your neighbors. At one hotel, foggers set off before our heat treatment meant 13 rooms needed treatment instead of one. Using OTC sprays and foggers can also void your warranty.
Warranty and financing
Our 6-month warranty covers live bed bugs in treated areas, as long as prep and aftercare are done (guarantee). Wisetack financing is available from 3 months to 5 years, subject to approval. We offer same-day emergency service 7 days a week. We can't guarantee a specific response time, and we're not a 24/7 service.
