Heat treatment makes the rooms hot enough to kill bed bugs. A whole home takes about 6 to 9 hours, and it costs more up front. Chemical treatment costs less per visit but works more slowly: most jobs need two to four visits over three to six weeks.
Many companies combine the two: heat the worst rooms and treat the edges with products that keep working.
How many rooms, how much clutter and how long the bugs have been there. One bedroom caught early is $300–$800; a whole home is $1,500–$6,000. Apartments are harder, because bugs travel through walls to the units next door.
Prices also follow local costs: Angi's New York City figures run about 50% above its national ones. Chicago tops Orkin's 2026 bed bug list.
Follow the company's prep list: wash and dry bedding and clothes on high heat, bag them, and clear clutter from floors and under beds. Don't move things to other rooms or friends' homes, which spreads the bugs.
Don't fog with store products first. It scatters bed bugs and can make the professional job bigger.
In some cities the building owner has to deal with bed bugs. New York City, for example, requires owners to treat bed bugs promptly, use pest pros licensed by the state and file a bed bug report every December. Tell your landlord in writing as soon as you find bugs.

Small, early problems sometimes, with steam, encasements and lots of laundry. Most real infestations need a pro, because eggs hide in cracks and survive store sprays.
About six to nine hours for a home. Chemical programs usually take two to four visits over three to six weeks.
Usually not. Heat treats the mattress in place, and an encasement traps anything left. Ask the company before you throw furniture out.
It depends on your state and city. Some places, like New York City, put it on the building owner. Check your local housing rules and your lease.
A follow-up inspection a few weeks later ($75–$225) checks for live bugs. Ask if it's included in the price.
