When same-day service may be possible
Same-day service is often possible depending on circumstances. We don’t promise a response time or 24/7 availability. If you need help today, call us rather than guessing about the next step.
For commercial situations, we can also discuss commercial bed bug treatment, including options for hotels and apartments and property managers. “We’ve done same-day treatments for medical facilities so they could avoid shutting down.”
What we see on the job
I start by listening to what you have noticed and asking what needs attention first. I review the treatment area with you, explain what needs to be accessible, and help you compare the practical next steps. If heat treatment is the right fit for the situation, I can explain the process and preparation; you can learn how heat treatment works before we talk.
Please do not fog before calling. The EPA says total-release foggers should not be the sole bed-bug-control method, because the material may not reach hidden cracks and crevices. The EPA also describes bed bug treatment as complex and says foggers should not be the only method in its DIY bed bug control guidance. For a practical explanation of why shortcuts can complicate treatment, read why DIY bed bug treatments fail.

Treatment planning and follow-up
We can discuss heat treatment, commercial options, and financing through Wisetack, with terms from 3 months to 5 years, subject to approval. Our 6-month warranty covers live bed bug activity in treated areas. If live bugs are confirmed, follow-up treatment is provided at no extra charge when prep and aftercare requirements are met..
