Frequently asked questions
How do I know I actually have bed bugs and not something else?
Bites alone can't confirm bed bugs, since other pests and skin reactions can look similar. Look for live bugs, shed skins or small dark spots along mattress seams and furniture. A free inspection confirms whether bed bug activity is present before any treatment is planned.
How many visits does bed bug treatment take?
The standard program is two liquid treatment visits about fourteen days apart. Your written agreement may list additional visits if the inspection shows they're needed. Both visits are needed, because a single visit is not a complete treatment.
Do you use heat treatment for bed bugs in Miami Beach?
No. Our program is a room-based liquid treatment, not heat or thermal. If an infestation is too severe for a liquid program, we may recommend fumigation, which is assessed and quoted separately.
How soon can someone come out?
ODPC responds the same day you reach out. New customers are typically scheduled within 24 hours, and same-day appointments depend on availability and preparation.
What do I need to do before the technician arrives?
You'll get preparation instructions for your home, such as laundering bedding and clothing as directed, decluttering and clearing access to beds and furniture. Plan to stay out of treated areas until surfaces are dry, typically within two hours. Let us know beforehand about pets, infants, pregnant occupants or anyone with sensitivities.
