Superior Bed Bug Solutions

This situation is a nightmare and if you suspect you may have bed bugs, don't delay in calling a professional!  We  definitely recommend Superior. You don't know what you don't know. My husband went on a business trip and stayed in a military facility. About a month later, he started getting bites that bothered him a lot. We had no clue as to what they were. I cleaned, cleaned and cloroxed the mattress, outside of the box spring, area all around the bed and threw out everything I could that was around our master bedroom.  Two weeks later, i started getting bites. The bites are big, swollen and usually three in a row. They itch terribly and usually are on the arms, ankles, neck, chest and back.  After hours of research, I thought we might have bed bugs, but never found a bug. Even after searching and searching. THAT for me  was a clue. You can get bitten for months and never find a bed bug.  The psychological dimension of this is pretty awful. I stopped sleeping in the king size, expensive, Temperpedic bed and spent nights on the couch. After one day of that, the husband and kids joined me - sleeping on the main floor of the house.  Still, we slept restlessly, afraid of getting bitten. It's hard to find the bugs because they only emerge when they sense a change in the CO2 that is emitted during the human sleep cycle that tells them you are in the "paralyzed" state of sleeping. They emerge to feed at that point. That's why you don't feel the bites. Also, they inject an anesthetic  into your skin while they feed on you. (5 minutes per bite).  Finally. after much searching...we found one dead bug - under our King size bed - and matched it w/internet pictures of bed bugs.  they are incredibly small and look like small apple seeds. More research and I found that the fastest way to get rid of them was to superheat the rooms where you suspect they are. At this point, we were desperate to get some order back into our lives, so I called Superior after reading the reviews. 
So - the review:They guys from Superior were great. They educated us about what was going on  and what our options were. Using chemicals and insecticides can be a big mistake, as some bed bugs are becoming resistant to them.  Also, the insecticides won't actually kill the bedbugs unless it get directly on them. From what Jesse (the owner) told me, they smell the chemical and move to a different location. You might kill some, but not all.   They were prompt - he came out for an initial consult right away and on time. He understood why we were so distraught; brought his dog - who wasn't all that necessary because I had already found a bug - but still interesting to see if he got any "hits". Josh, the handler, didn't actually want the dog, Sunnie, to root around in the bedroom because it's important not to disturb the area where the bed bugs are nesting -as they can move deeper into the walls of the house.So, he had Sunnie sniff in other rooms - and thankfully got no hits.  Josh gave me to soonest appointment that he could - and in four days, at 8:30 a.m. - two other young guys arrived with a truck full of huge super heaters. They were nice, polite and careful. They set everything up and started superheating the entire upstairs. We had to prepare for this, however, and it's a LOT of work. We sent all - I mean ALL the laundry that hadn't been washed...and there were. by now 20 loads -  because I had started washing every single piece of clothing, curtains, rugs, towels, stuffed animals, etc. etc. etc. days before and putting it in bags - sealing it and moving it to our downstairs floor - out to a laundry matt to be cleaned. We had thrown away every piece of junk - even good junk - on our second floor and had already started taking furniture apart to spray with alcohol to kill any eggs. I can't describe the amount of actually disruption we went through and are still going through to put our lives back together. 
And now I'm really sick of reliving this nightmare...and will close. The guys did their job, and did it well. They sealed off the upstairs with space foil or something but went up into the heat every 30 minutes to turn the furniture and open all the bags of clean laundry to make sure everything got superheated. Frankly, I don't know how they survive that. We went upstairs with them once and couldn't breathe.  After it was all over, they cleaned up and left. UNFORTUNATELY, that night, my husband got a bed bug bite....and a day later, I found a live bug crawling on another bed in another room that had also been super heated. They guys promptly came back and did the whole thing over again,  There was probably a cool spot in the upstairs where this bug had survived. AND, they young guys that came out made one mistake -- they told us we could keep the air conditioning on in the downstairs of the house and it should have been turned off. It was an incredibly hot day already....and they were trying to be nice. 
ONce I found the live bug, took pictures and even a video of it on my iPhone...emailed it to the company ...Jesse the owner came out to inspect himself. He was great. NOW WE ARE BED BUG FREE. AND i will do everything in my power to make sure we never have to go through this again. All in all, with washing all the clothes, and sending bags, and bags of laundry out to be washed, paying for the superheating, etc. we spent about 3 K. Now, to figure out how I'm going to avoid bed bugs when we stay at our beach rental in two weeks.....Go for Superior....it's a sure thing! THANKS GUYS!

See above where this is covered.

We discovered bed bugs at a beach house we were staying in in Ocean City on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. We came home to Arlington right away, wondering what the heck we were going to do to keep the bugs that we figured were surely already in our suitcases out of our house and how we would find a company to handle this on a holiday weekend. We spent most of the drive home googling bed bug treatment companies and found Superior Bed Bug Solutions and saw the postive reviews on google and yelp. We left our bags outside in our back yard and left a message at 7am for them on Saturday morning. Jesse called back within an hour and promised to be at our home a hour after that. We were thrilled. Jesse was great, thoroughly professional, prompt and patient. I loved the fact that his company uses a trained forensic dog, Sunny, to sniff out the bed bugs. Sunny found evidence of bed bugs in two of our bags. Jesse then provided us with a special heater to put our luggage into to kill any of the bed bugs and eggs. I can't tell you how happy we were to know so quickly the extent of our issue. The inspection fee was $150 and renting the heater for a week was $100. I think the fees were very reasonable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to others. We have a small child, so I also appreciated the fact that they don't use a bunch of toxic pesticides to kill the bugs.
