There are numerous reasons why A1 Bed Bug Exterminator Portland ranks first on our list. For instance, they met our experience requirements, seeing as they have been exterminating a wide variety of pests for over a decade.

No matter what size of bed bug issues we’re talking about, they’re famous for the detail-oriented nature of their service. They begin each project by inspecting the location, looking for signs, and selecting the appropriate treatment – just as smooth as it sounds.

Talking about how effective they are at detecting bed bug infestations, they have specially trained dogs that can find the bedbugs as quickly as possible. We see this as a helpful approach knowing that a bedbug colony expands fast.

They certainly have the best treatment for exterminating bed bugs, which is heat. This is common among exterminators, and we find it the most ideal method for homeowners due to its natural safety. 

This method usually uses chemicals. But to our delight, A1 ensures that it is natural and safe as they don’t use any chemicals at all (which quite reassures us).

However, while heat is the most commonly used, it’s not preferred by all homeowners. It’s a good thing they have a manual removal service, which is very convenient for people who only want to get rid of bed bugs in one or two rooms of their house.

Finally, the fact that they can eliminate large infestations in massive structures is another reason they’re among the best – in our opinion, at least. However, this kind of method requires the use of chemicals, so do keep that one in mind.

For the best bed bug heat treatment in town, homeowners usually go to Johnson Bed Bug Treatment. We take it that they have the understanding, training, and proper heating equipment to kill bed bugs in an effective manner to support the said claim.

Utilizing effective and safe treatment for bed bug removal is definitely what Johnson is known for. To be honest, we can’t blame them because we see their thorough method that doesn’t require the use of hazardous chemicals.

Client reviews are also very positive, indicating that their services are well-received. Clients have praised them for being helpful throughout the process –  from the initial inspection and preparation of the property to the clean-up of the site.

Johnson’s is also very generous with its guarantees, which we greatly appreciated. Every project they handle, regardless of size, comes with a 90-day guarantee to ensure that bed bugs are completely eradicated.

Unfortunately, even after the specified period, some clients claimed that the pest had returned to their homes. They could also be, as we’ve heard, unresponsive to this type of inquiry, which completely turns us off.

Nonetheless, we continue to believe they’re a good choice for bed bug heat treatment, as evidenced by the number of satisfied customers versus unsatisfied. Plus, they have a free consultation, so you can totally ask them anything without obligation.

The Killers Pest Control has specialized plans for customers looking to exterminate bed bugs. They’re all over Oregon, which gives us the impression that they have the kind of reputation we seek in a great bed bug exterminator.

What we like about them is that they don’t confine their treatment. Instead, they approach each situation individually and deliver a tailored solution. 

To give you an idea, they use a multi-step treatment process or a combination of every treatment available: natural measures, traps, or chemical treatments.

Through our assessment, we saw their honesty in taking on projects. Since bed bug treatment can be quite involved, it’s a relief that they don’t force it unless they’re absolutely certain of a bed bug infestation.

Their bed bug removal service, like the others, begins with an extremely thorough inspection. When they’re hired for full-service extermination, clients can expect meticulous treatment that includes both nook and cranny topical treatments as well as surface treatments.

If you ask us, what stands out most about their overall service is their follow-ups. 

Speaking of which, they perform a second follow-up bed bug treatment two weeks after the first. Then there’s a third follow-up treatment two weeks later, giving their clients the best chance for bed bug relief.

There’s just a minor snag – they can be difficult to reach, especially for first-time customers. In fact, this is primarily what their negative feedback is about, and we’re not fans of it, so this is a massive drawback for us.

If you’re worried about the health impacts of bed bug extermination, EcoCare Pest Control is a right fit for you. Well, their name implies that they provide eco-friendly bed bug treatments, and we take their word for that (of course after thorough evaluation!)

In fact, since they only use natural active ingredients, they have specifically formulated their extermination treatments to be completely safe for people and most pets. In this regard, clients can stay at home while they work, which is quite nice.

We’re not surprised by their service performance with that level of customer care. Their profile shows that they have served over 36,000 satisfied customers (this includes bed bug extermination and pest control) since starting their service career over 20 years ago

According to their clients (via reviews and interviews), it’s not just the quality of extermination EcoCare provides that makes them happy, it’s also their focus on future infestation prevention. This completely explains why they have served thousands of homeowners.

However, not all of their clients were satisfied with their service. From what we’ve heard, there were incidents of inconsistencies with follow-up inspections, which frequently results in time waste and rescheduling.

On the brighter side, their preventive measures have kept the majority of their clients’ homes bed-bug-free. So, despite client complaints about inconsistent follow-up inspections, the rescheduled inspection confirmed the success of the extermination.

As Insight Pest Control Portland is a certified full-service pest control business, they sure do have knowledge in bed bug extermination. This is backed up by the overwhelming client reviews they have, which often talk about their effective bed bug treatment timetable.

Right after inspections, their bed bug exterminator will start by treating the area where the infestation began using an aerosol spray. It’s then followed by a comprehensive treatment through the use of insecticide tailored to the situation.

Despite the fact that their service is standard and nothing out of the ordinary, we find their easy-going process to be very convenient. They don’t require any preparation before their technicians arrive (like bagging up infested items), which can relieve stress for many customers.

Speaking of convenience, clients can schedule an inspection through their website. 

However, because the system is occasionally down, their online scheduling feature can be difficult for users to use at times. On the other hand, homeowners can always call the company directly to easily schedule.

On top of all the good stuff, the company offers flexible monthly plans where customers can subscribe to either initial treatment or maintenance only. We find this one as a great way to save money while also having the peace of mind that your home is protected in the future.

Overall, Insight Pest Control, with all of its positive qualities, can be an excellent bed bug exterminator. Though it’s not their main area of expertise, they have demonstrated it by the volume of feedback they have received on the subject.
