Why Choose 120 Pest for Bed Bug Treatment
Not every pest control company has the training, equipment, or experience to properly treat a bed bug infestation. Bed bugs are resistant to many common pesticides, they hide in places most technicians never think to look, and incomplete treatments only scatter the problem rather than solving it. Here’s why homeowners and property managers across north Georgia trust us:
- Bed Bug Central certified — We’ve completed advanced training in the most progressive treatment techniques in the industry, including the low-prep method that doesn’t require you to bag all your clothes or empty your dressers.
- GreenTech Heat certified — Our thermal heat treatment technicians understand the science of properly heating a room to temperatures that are lethal to bed bugs at every life stage.
- ACE certified entomologist — Our Associate Certified Entomologist designation means we understand bed bug biology and behavior at an expert level.
- Over 30 years of field experience — We know what causes treatments to fail and how to ensure every treatment results in a bed bug-free outcome.
- Warranty included with every service — No hidden fees, no surprises. All necessary follow-up visits are built into the original price.
- 96 Google reviews at 4.9 stars — Our track record is built on results.
Our Bed Bug Treatment Options
Every infestation is different. The size of the affected area, the type of property, your timeline, and your budget all factor into which treatment approach is right for you. We offer two proven methods, and a thorough inspection will help determine the best fit.
Thermal Heat Treatment
Our thermal heat treatment is the fastest and most efficient method available to eliminate bed bugs and their eggs. The process works by safely heating your home or affected rooms to temperatures between 120 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Bed bugs and their eggs die at 117 degrees when exposed for a sufficient period, and heat penetrates into cracks and crevices that chemical products simply cannot reach.
Key advantages of thermal heat treatment:
- Biting stops the same day. Thermal heat is the only bed bug treatment that can stop the bites in one day — not weeks, not after multiple visits. One day.
- Kills bugs and eggs. Heat eliminates bed bugs at every life stage, including eggs that are resistant to many chemical products.
- Limited chemical application. Heat leaves no residue once it cools. A targeted chemical application is included to provide protection against possible reintroduction.
- All furniture and beds are treated in place. Your mattresses, dressers, couches, and other furnishings stay right where they are during treatment. No need to throw anything out.
- Low prep required. Your clothes stay in the dressers and closets. No bagging. Our low-prep approach means less disruption to your life.
- Completed in one day. You can return to your home the same day.
Every thermal heat treatment includes a warranty — most properties receive either a 30-day or 90-day warranty that covers all necessary follow-up visits at no additional charge.
When weighing the cost of a heat treatment, consider what you won’t have to spend. You won’t need to replace furniture. You won’t need to bag and launder every item of clothing you own. You won’t need to take multiple days off work for repeated treatment visits. And you won’t spend weeks wondering if the bites are going to come back.

Chemical Treatment
Our chemical-based bed bug treatment is a multi-step process developed through over 15 years of field experience. Chemical treatments can target a single room or an entire home and are a strong option when thermal heat isn’t the right fit for the property or budget.
The chemical treatment process includes:
- Thorough inspection of the home
- Physical removal of live bugs and eggs
- Steam application targeting eggs and live bugs
- Encasements installed on mattresses and box springs
- Product placement targeted to areas where bed bugs live — including furniture, wall voids, and under carpet
- Follow-up visits included in the treatment price
Like our heat treatment, the chemical approach uses a low-prep method. Your clothes stay in dressers and closets, and there’s no need to discard furniture. Treatments are designed to be completed over two to three visits across a four-to-six-week period, and a warranty based on the bed bug life cycle is included to ensure enough time has passed for success.
Both methods are backed by our Bed Bug Central certification, which confirms that we use the most current, research-based techniques for bed bug elimination.
Commercial Bed Bug Services
Bed bugs don’t just affect private homes. If you manage apartments, short-term rentals, senior living facilities, or other commercial properties, an infestation can cause financial losses, negative reviews, and reputational damage that compounds with every day the problem persists.
Our commercial bed bug services are designed for properties where speed, discretion, and minimal disruption are priorities. We treat:
- Apartments and multi-family housing — both occupied and vacant units, with 90-day warranties on occupied units at no extra charge
- Airbnb and short-term rentals — one-day treatments that can get your property back online within 24 hours
- Senior living and assisted living communities — discreet, sensitive treatment plans that protect your residents and your reputation
- Specialty properties — including 18-wheelers, travel trailers, RVs, cars, rental cabins, fire stations, and stores
We work closely with property managers and tenants to ensure successful outcomes and provide online access to property service history for easier documentation and compliance tracking.
Heat Treatment for Other Commercial Applications
Our thermal heat equipment isn’t limited to bed bugs. We also offer commercial heat treatment for stored product pests, German cockroaches, fleas, moving vans, and used furniture. These services are tailored to specific needs and time frames and can serve as an effective non-chemical alternative to fumigation.
What Our Customers Say
“They took time to carefully explain our options and didn’t suggest one way over another. The heat treatment, however, is the best deal.” — Michael Alfano Jr.

People are dealing with a problem that affects their sleep, their comfort, and often their peace of mind. We treat every customer with the empathy and professionalism this situation deserves.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bed Bug Treatment
How quickly can you treat my home for bed bugs?
We understand the urgency. Bed bugs are not a problem that can wait. Contact us as soon as you suspect an infestation, and we’ll schedule your inspection and treatment as quickly as our calendar allows. Thermal heat treatments are completed in a single day, so once we’re on-site, you’ll have results fast.
What’s the difference between heat treatment and chemical treatment?
Thermal heat treatment eliminates all bed bugs and eggs in one day by heating the affected space to lethal temperatures. Chemical treatment uses a multi-step process over two to three visits across four to six weeks. Both include warranties and follow-up visits. Your technician will recommend the best option based on your property and situation.
Do I need to throw away my furniture?
No. Both our thermal heat and chemical treatments are designed to treat furniture in place. There is no need to discard mattresses, couches, dressers, or other items.
How much prep do I need to do before treatment?
Our treatments use a low-prep approach. Your clothes stay in dressers and closets, with no bagging required. We’ll provide a preparation sheet that outlines the simple steps to take before your appointment. Download the thermal heat prep sheet here.
Is the treatment safe for children and pets?
Yes. Thermal heat leaves no chemical residue once it cools. The limited chemical application included with heat treatment is applied in targeted areas and is safe for your household once the treatment is complete. We’ll provide specific guidance for your situation.
What does the warranty cover?
Most properties receive a 30-day or 90-day warranty depending on the type of treatment and property. The warranty covers all necessary follow-up visits at no additional charge beyond the original treatment price.
