Rochester's Bed Bug Treatment Specialists

Bed bugs are among the hardest household pests to eliminate. They reproduce fast, hide in tight crevices, and can survive months without feeding. Generic spray-and-pray treatments rarely fully eliminate an active infestation. Optimum Pest Pros specializes in bed bug treatment across the Rochester and Canandaigua, NY market, with two in-house extermination methods: Aprehend (a specialized residual biopesticide that kills bed bugs over weeks) and heat treatment (whole-room thermal remediation). We choose the method that matches your specific infestation, not the other way around.

Optimum is owned and operated by Jeff, a NYS DEC 7F Licensed pest control operator with 10+ years of experience. We hold additional commercial-grade certifications (AIB, SQF Level 3, BRC) for food-industry pest control, which means the same protocol rigor we use in food processing facilities is applied to your home infestation. We hold a 4.9-star rating across 260+ reviews and offer 24/7 emergency availability for severe active infestations.

Every treatment starts with a free, on-site inspection so we can confirm the infestation scope (single room, multiple rooms, or whole-home) before recommending the protocol. No pushy upsells, no one-size-fits-all plan.

Conventional Bed Bug Service

Aprehend is a specialized residual treatment that uses a naturally occurring fungus (Beauveria bassiana) to kill bed bugs. Bed bugs walk through the treated zone, pick up the spores, and carry them back to the harborage where they infect other bed bugs. It is EPA-registered, low-toxicity to humans and pets, and effective for up to three months after application. Optimum is one of the few Rochester-area providers offering Aprehend, and we rank #1 for Aprehend biopesticide searches in the region.

Bed Bug Heat Treatments

Bed bug heat treatment uses high-temperature thermal remediation to kill bed bugs at every life stage (eggs, nymphs, and adults) in a single treatment. We use specialized heating equipment to raise the affected room’s temperature past the bed bug thermal kill point and hold it for several hours. Heat is the right call for severe infestations, time-sensitive situations (move-in dates, real estate transactions), or households where chemical treatment is not preferred. Both heat and Aprehend are full Optimum services, not subcontracted, which means a single point of contact, no scheduling delays, and a treatment plan that can flex between methods if your situation evolves.

What to Expect: Our Bed Bug Treatment Process

Step 1: Free Inspection
A technician comes to your home to confirm the presence and scope of bed bugs. We inspect the typical hot spots (mattresses, box springs, headboards, baseboards, electrical outlets, furniture seams) and walk you through what we find. There is no charge for the inspection and no obligation to proceed.

Step 2: Customized Treatment Plan

Based on the inspection, we recommend the right method: Aprehend, heat treatment, or a combined protocol. You see the plan and pricing in writing before any treatment begins.

Step 3: Treatment and Follow-Up

Bed bug treatment is never one-and-done. We schedule a follow-up inspection 2 to 4 weeks after the initial treatment to verify the infestation is eliminated. Most jobs are fully resolved within one to two follow-up visits.

Bed Bug Treatment FAQs

Pricing depends on infestation scope (single room vs. multiple rooms vs. whole home), the method (Aprehend, heat treatment, or combined), and how many follow-up visits the situation requires.

With Aprehend, most infestations are fully resolved within 4 to 8 weeks of the initial treatment, with one to two follow-up inspections. With heat treatment, the in-room kill is same-day, with a follow-up at 2 to 4 weeks to confirm. Combined protocols vary based on the situation.
