Tempe's student housing around ASU, high-turnover short-term rentals near Mill Ave, and furnished apartments cycling through new occupants every semester create one of the more consistent bed bug environments we service. Used couches, mattresses, and marketplace furniture brought into campus housing are another common source. We regularly see infestations move between roommates and neighboring units. Same-day and next-day appointments available.
Furnished apartments near ASU cycle through dozens of occupants a year — one of the most consistent bed bug environments we service.

Tempe is fully in our Phoenix metro service area for bed bug treatment. Same-day and next-day appointments available.

Why eggs are the real problem.
A single female bed bug lays 200-500 eggs in her lifetime. Most pesticides can't penetrate the shell - and eggs hide where chemicals can't reach. Chemical treatment works, but it requires patience: you're waiting through hatch cycles, and you may see live activity for 30-60 days or longer.
Heat is different. Our structural heat treatment brings your entire home to 120-150°F simultaneously - every room, every crack, every hiding spot reaches lethal temperature together. No cold zones for bed bugs to escape to. At 131°F, all life stages - eggs included - are dead in under 3 minutes.
Over 1,000 bed bug treatments across Arizona. Backed by our 24-Month Guarantee. That's not confidence - that's track record.
Don't make it worse.
Most customers who call us have already made at least one of these mistakes. Save yourself the headache.
Don't use store-bought sprays or foggers
They kill a few and spread the rest. You'll think you won because you saw some dead bugs but many have just scattered to other parts of your house. Most customers who call us have already tried this.
Don't throw out your furniture
Heat treatment saves mattresses, sofas, and bed frames. Throwing them out doesn't kill the bugs already in your walls and baseboards. Save the $500 mattress.
Don't move items between rooms
Moving infested items spreads the infestation. If you have bed bugs in the bedroom, don't haul your blankets to the couch - that's how you get couch bugs too.
