Bed Bug Extermination in Alberta
Heat treatments, chemical sprays and heater rentals for bed bugs in homes, condos, rentals and commercial spaces. Our licensed technicians serve Edmonton, Calgary and nearby communities.
Signs of bed bugs in a home or rental unit
Bed bugs hide well and often go unnoticed until bites appear. Check the bed first, then nearby furniture. These are the most common signs.
Bites in a line or cluster
Dark spots on bedding
Live bugs or shed skins
Eggs in seams and joints
A sweet, musty smell
Activity spreading to other rooms
Three treatment options for bed bugs
Bed bugs move between rooms fast, tuck into tiny gaps and can go months between meals. We match the method to the size of the infestation, the type of property and your situation.
Space heat treatment
Our specialty. Professional heaters and fans raise the whole space to 50 to 60 degrees C. Heat reaches into mattresses, furniture, wall voids and cracks, killing eggs, nymphs and adults in one visit. It leaves no chemical residue. You return the next day.
Best for: When you want all life stages handled in one visit, without repeat spray visits
Chemical spray treatment
Residual sprays and dusts go on bed frames, seams, headboards, baseboards, furniture and wall voids. They keep working as bugs cross treated areas. Eggs can survive, so most infestations need two to three visits. You can return a few hours later, once dry.
Best for: Light to moderate infestations and multi-unit buildings where heat is not practical
Heat equipment rental
Rent professional heaters to treat a small, contained area yourself, such as one bedroom. We arrange pickup or delivery and explain setup, running and monitoring. Treat mattresses, bed frames, couches, clothing, bedding and luggage. Cycles take several hours.
Best for: Small problems in one room, for people who want to run the treatment themselves
Bed bug inspections: K9 or technician
Before any treatment, it helps to know for sure whether you have bed bugs and where they are hiding. We offer two ways to find out, and you can combine them. Both are available across Alberta, including Calgary, Edmonton and Red Deer.
K9 scent inspection
A trained detection dog from the specialist K9 team we partner with, certified by the World Detector Dog Organization (WDDO) and guided by its handler, sniffs the beds, couches and rooms where people sleep and sit. Bed bugs give off a scent the dog has learned to find, even in seams and cracks where they are hard to see. Our technician then double-checks each spot the dog alerts on before we recommend a treatment.
Best for: Early or hidden activity, bites with nothing found, or several rooms and units in one visit
Technician inspection
A licensed technician checks mattress seams, bed frames, headboards, couches, baseboards and the other spots bed bugs favour, confirms the pest and tells you how far it has spread. If you have already found bugs, shed skins or dark spots, this is usually the quickest route to a treatment plan.
Best for: When you have seen signs and want a clear treatment plan
After either inspection, you choose the approach: heat treatment on its own, or heat treatment plus a residual spray. Inspections are quoted individually, so call or send a request and our customer support team will get back to you. Read more about how our inspections work.

Prefer a discreet visit? Just ask
Bed bugs can feel like a private matter, especially in a condo, rental or shared building. Here is what a discreet visit includes.
Unmarked vehicle
Unmarked uniform
Mention it when you request a quote, or tell our team when they get in touch.
Why a bed bug problem should not wait
Bed bugs are hard to find and quick to spread. Leaving a room empty does not starve them out, because they can go months between feeds. Left alone, they move into other rooms and neighbouring units through walls and shared spaces. Early treatment usually means fewer visits and less disruption.
How to keep bed bugs from coming back
Check luggage after travel
Be careful with used furniture
Reduce clutter near beds
Monitor after treatment
Frequently asked questions
Is heat treatment safe for my home?
Yes, when done by trained professionals. The heat is raised in a controlled way and monitored throughout. No chemical residue is left behind. You return the next day, once temperatures are back to normal and we have done a final check.
Can the heat harm my furniture or the building?
No. The heat is raised slowly and held at a level the building and most furniture handle without harm. Before the visit, we review which heat-sensitive items to remove or protect, such as candles, aerosols, plants and certain electronics.
Can bed bugs come back after treatment?
Treatment kills the bugs present at the time. They can be brought back in later on luggage, second-hand furniture or clothing. Monitoring and simple prevention habits after treatment lower that risk.
Is the chemical spray treatment safe for my family and pets?
Products are applied by trained technicians according to label directions. Treated areas are safe for people and pets once dry, when applied as directed. We ask you to stay out for a few hours after each visit while surfaces dry.
Do you offer bed bug inspections?
Yes. Choose a K9 scent inspection, where a WDDO certified detection dog from the specialist K9 team we partner with checks the rooms where people sleep and sit and our technician double-checks every alert, or a technician inspection where we check the usual hiding spots ourselves. Either way you get clear findings and a quote before any treatment. Compare the two inspections.
