Ken's Bed Bug Service has been helping Edmond homeowners, renters, and property managers get rid of bed bugs since 2015. If you woke up with unexplained bites or spotted something suspicious on your mattress, you are in the right place. Bed bugs are a solvable problem, and we treat it as exactly that: a project with a clear start, a clear finish, and a plan that fits your situation. When you call, you reach the technician who shows up at your door. We keep our visits professional and discreet, and we can often get to you the same week, sometimes the same day. Call today. Treated this week. Back to sleeping easy.
Waking up with bites you can't explain? Bed bugs are small, flat, and reddish-brown, roughly the size of an apple seed when fully grown. Eggs and nymphs are much smaller and harder to spot, which is exactly why a thorough treatment has to reach every life stage, not just the adults you can see.
They hide close to where you sleep. Check the seams and piping of your mattress, the inside of your box spring, the joints of your headboard, the gaps along baseboards, and the folds of upholstered furniture. Signs to look for include dark fecal spots about the size of a pen tip, shed skins left behind as nymphs grow, and bites that appear in lines or clusters on exposed skin.
Some callers are not sure whether they are dealing with bed bugs or fleas. A quick way to tell them apart: fleas jump and tend to bite around the ankles, while bed bugs crawl and typically bite the upper body and arms during sleep. If you are unsure, a bed bug inspection will confirm it.
One more thing worth saying plainly: a bed bug infestation is not a sign of a dirty home. Bed bugs spread by hitchhiking on luggage, clothing, and used furniture. They turn up in spotless apartments, well-kept houses, and well-run hotels. Getting rid of the stigma is part of why people call us sooner rather than later, and sooner is always better.
Getting your home treated starts with a quick call, but the real starting point is a thorough inspection. We do not quote a treatment plan or recommend a method until we know what we are dealing with. That means a careful visual inspection of every likely harborage area: mattress seams, box springs, headboards, bed frames, nightstands, baseboards, and upholstered furniture throughout the affected rooms.
The inspection tells us two things: whether bed bugs are present, and how far they have spread. Both answers shape the treatment plan. Scheduling an inspection is straightforward. There is a fee for the service, and it is the most important step in the process. Do not skip it to save time.
For larger properties or situations where a faster sweep of multiple rooms is helpful, we offer trained canine detection as a supplement to the visual inspection. Detection dogs are trained to scent live bed bugs and viable eggs, and they can cover a large space quickly. We do not rely on the dog alone. The canine sweep works alongside a careful visual check, giving us a more complete picture before any treatment begins. This option is especially useful for multi-unit buildings, hotels, and commercial properties where speed and thoroughness both matter.
Every treatment plan we put together is built around what the inspection finds. We offer four treatment approaches, and we will recommend the one that fits your situation. Most jobs are a project of two to three total visits, depending on how far the infestation has spread. Here is what each option looks like.
Heat treatment is our most popular option, and for good reason. Specialized equipment raises the air temperature throughout the treated space into the range that is lethal to bed bugs at every life stage, including eggs and nymphs. The heat penetrates into mattress seams, wall voids, furniture, and every other place bed bugs hide. Most heat treatments are completed in a single visit, and there is no chemical residue left behind when we are done.
Heat treatment also requires less preparation from you than a chemical treatment does. You do not need to bag every item or strip every shelf. We will walk you through exactly what to do before we arrive, and it is a shorter list than most people expect.
Chemical treatment uses professional-grade residual products and desiccant dusts applied precisely to harborage areas: cracks, crevices, mattress seams, baseboards, and the hidden spaces where bed bugs spend most of their time. Work is performed by licensed bed bug control technicians who know where to apply these products and how to do it safely.
This approach typically involves two to three visits spaced about two weeks apart. The residual products keep working between visits, and the follow-up appointments let us confirm that the population is collapsing and address any remaining activity.
For most homes, the genuine standard of care is an integrated approach that pairs multiple methods into one plan. That might mean a heat treatment combined with targeted chemical application, or a chemical treatment supplemented with vacuuming, steam, and encasements. We build the plan around the inspection findings and your property's layout. An integrated bed bug treatment plan gives us more tools to work with and leaves fewer gaps for a surviving population to rebound.
For severe infestations or whole-building situations where other methods are not sufficient, whole-structure fumigation is the most aggressive option available. It is not the first tool we reach for, but when an infestation has spread throughout a large structure or multiple units, it may be the right call. We will tell you honestly if your situation calls for it.
Encasements are not a treatment on their own, but they are a valuable part of a complete plan. A quality mattress encasement and box-spring encasement seal bed bugs inside, cutting off their access to you and making it much easier to spot any remaining activity during follow-up inspections. Interceptor devices placed under furniture legs trap bed bugs as they travel, giving us a clear picture of whether the population is declining between visits.
We recommend encasements and monitors as part of most treatment plans. They extend the value of the treatment and make the follow-up process faster and more reliable.
We know how stressful this is, and one of the first things people want to know is how long the process takes. The honest answer is that most jobs involve two to three total visits, depending on how far the infestation has spread. A heat treatment is often a single visit. A chemical or integrated plan typically includes an initial treatment and one or two follow-ups spaced about two weeks apart.
Follow-up visits are backed by a re-treatment warranty. If bed bug activity persists after treatment, we come back.
Before your appointment, we will give you a preparation checklist. For most jobs this includes laundering and hot-drying bedding and clothing on the highest heat setting, bagging clean items to keep them protected, reducing clutter in sleeping areas, and pulling furniture a few inches from the walls. Two things we ask you not to do before we arrive: do not throw out your mattress or furniture, and do not move infested items to another room. Both of those actions can spread the problem to areas that were previously clear, and they can make the job harder and more expensive.
We work with homeowners, renters, landlords, property managers, hotel operators, and businesses across Edmond and Oklahoma County. The approach is the same regardless of property type: inspect first, treat with the right method, verify with follow-up. Trusted by local homeowners, renters, and landlords, we have handled situations ranging from a single bedroom to multi-unit complexes.
We arrive in plain, unmarked vehicles and keep every visit professional and confidential. Whether you are a homeowner who does not want neighbors to know or a property manager who needs a discreet visit before a turnover, we handle it the same way.
Bed bugs spread between units through shared walls, electrical conduits, and plumbing chases. Treating only the reported unit often leaves the surrounding units untouched, and the problem comes back. We work with landlords and tenants to coordinate inspections and treatment across the affected area, which is the only reliable way to stop the spread in a multi-unit building. We communicate clearly with both sides and keep the process moving.
For hospitality and commercial clients, the stakes are higher than just the infestation itself. A bed bug report in a hotel or short-term rental can damage a reputation quickly. We schedule around your operations, work discreetly, and move as fast as the situation allows. If you manage a commercial property in the Oklahoma City metro and need a fast, professional response, call for a quote and we will get a plan in front of you quickly.
Ready to take back your home? The first step is understanding what the job will actually cost, and the honest answer is that pricing depends on the size of the infestation, the size of the property, and the treatment method that fits the situation. We do not quote a number until we know what we are treating.
What we can tell you is that we offer flexible scheduling with no pressure to rush. We will walk you through the options, explain what each one involves, and let you make the decision that makes sense for your budget and timeline. Same-day and this-week availability may be possible depending on your location and the situation. Call for a quote and we will give you a straight answer.
We have been doing this work in Edmond and across Oklahoma County since 2015. That is eleven years of bed bug jobs, follow-up visits, and customers who called us back when a family member or neighbor needed help. Follow-up visits backed by a re-treatment warranty are standard with our treatment plans, not an add-on.
We answer the phone. We show up on time. We price it straight.
That is what keeps people in Edmond and the surrounding area calling us rather than starting over with someone new.
We serve Edmond and the communities around it, including Oklahoma City, Yukon, Mustang, Piedmont, Guthrie, Deer Creek, Bethany, and The Village. If you are in Oklahoma County or the broader Oklahoma City metro and need a bed bug specialist, we are close by and ready to help. We're ready when you need us.
Our technicians do a careful visual check of every likely harborage area: mattress seams, box springs, headboards, bed frames, baseboards, nightstands, and upholstered furniture. We look for fecal spots, shed skins, live bugs, and eggs. The inspection tells us whether bed bugs are present and how far they have spread, both of which shape the treatment plan.
Specialized equipment raises the air temperature in the treated space into the range that is lethal to bed bugs at every life stage, including eggs and nymphs. The heat penetrates into mattress seams, wall voids, furniture joints, and other hiding spots. Most heat treatments are completed in a single visit, and no chemical residue is left behind when we are done.
Yes. People and pets need to be out of the treated space during a heat treatment because of the elevated temperatures involved. We will give you a clear window for how long to plan to be away. Most heat treatments allow you to return the same day once the space has cooled to a safe level.
No. Heat treatment is a non-chemical process. The only thing we are using is elevated temperature, and once the space cools down, there is nothing left behind. This is one of the main reasons many of our customers in Edmond prefer it, especially in homes with young children or people with chemical sensitivities.
Significantly less. A chemical treatment requires laundering and bagging a wide range of items, reducing clutter throughout the treated rooms, and pulling furniture from walls. A heat treatment preparation list is much shorter. We will walk you through exactly what to do before we arrive, and most customers find it manageable in a few hours.
We apply professional-grade residual products and desiccant dusts directly to harborage areas using crack-and-crevice techniques. Work is performed by licensed bed bug control technicians who know where to place these products and how to apply them safely. The residual products keep working between visits, which is why follow-up appointments are spaced about two weeks apart.
Fumigation is reserved for severe infestations or whole-building situations where heat and chemical treatment alone are not sufficient. It is the most aggressive option we offer, and it is not the first tool we reach for. We will tell you honestly if your situation calls for it, and most homes do not reach that point.
The follow-up visit is a verification step. We inspect the treated areas for any signs of remaining bed bug activity, check interceptor devices and encasements for trapped bugs, and confirm that the population is declining as expected. If anything needs additional attention, we address it during that visit.
If bed bug activity is confirmed within the warranty period after treatment, we return and re-treat at no additional charge. The warranty applies to the treated areas and is built into most of our plans. We will explain the specific terms of the warranty before any work begins so there are no surprises.
After a heat treatment, activity typically drops off quickly because the treatment reaches every life stage in a single visit. With a chemical plan, you may see some activity between visits as the residual products continue to work. Most customers notice a significant reduction after the first treatment and a clear resolution by the final follow-up visit.
No. Bed bugs are not known to spread disease to people. That said, their bites cause real discomfort, and some people have allergic reactions. Scratching can lead to secondary skin infections. The stress, lost sleep, and anxiety that come with an infestation are reason enough to call a professional quickly.
We check not just the bed and bedroom but also adjacent rooms, furniture throughout the living space, and any other areas where people spend extended time. Bed bugs follow people, not just beds. A thorough inspection maps out every area of confirmed or suspected activity so the treatment plan covers the full scope of the problem.

How does heat treatment work, and why does it reach bed bugs that sprays often miss?
Heat treatment uses specialized equipment to raise the air temperature in the treated space to levels that are lethal to bed bugs at every life stage, including nymphs and eggs. Chemical sprays, even professional-grade ones, often struggle to penetrate deep into harborage areas or reach eggs before they hatch. Heat moves through the entire space, including inside mattress seams, inside box springs, and behind baseboards, which is why it is our most requested option.
Do store-bought sprays or foggers work on bed bugs?
In most cases, no. Nearly all bed bug populations have become widely resistant to the active ingredients in common store-bought sprays, so those products rarely eliminate an infestation. Foggers and bug bombs are even more problematic. Rather than killing bed bugs, they tend to scatter them deeper into walls and into neighboring rooms or units, spreading the problem rather than solving it. Professional-grade products and methods are a different category entirely.
How many visits does treatment usually take?
It depends on the treatment method and how far the infestation has spread. A heat treatment is often completed in a single visit because the elevated temperature reaches bed bugs at every life stage, including eggs, so there is less need for a return visit to catch hatching nymphs. Chemical and integrated treatment plans usually involve two to three total visits spaced about two weeks apart. We give you a clear picture of what to expect before any work begins.
Discreet and Confidential Service
We arrive in plain vehicles and handle every visit with professionalism and confidentiality. Your situation stays between you and us.
Is bed bug treatment safe for children and pets?
We take the safety of everyone in your home seriously. Heat treatment leaves no chemical residue, which many families with children and pets prefer. For chemical treatments, we use targeted application techniques that minimize exposure, and we provide clear guidance on when it is safe to re-enter the treated areas. We are happy to walk through any specific concerns you have when you call.
Do I have to throw out my mattress or furniture before treatment?
Please do not. Discarding infested items before an inspection can spread bed bugs to other rooms, hallways, or neighboring units and make the problem significantly worse. Leave everything in place and let us assess first. In most cases, a quality mattress encasement is a better and less costly solution than replacing the mattress entirely.
How do I tell bed bugs apart from fleas?
It is a common mix-up. Bed bugs are flat, reddish-brown, and roughly the size of an apple seed. They do not jump. Fleas are smaller, darker, and jump when disturbed. Bed bug bites tend to appear in lines or clusters, often on areas of skin exposed during sleep. If you are not sure what you are dealing with, a professional inspection will confirm it quickly so the right plan can be put in place.
Re-Treatment Warranty
Follow-up visits are standard with most plans, and our re-treatment warranty means we come back if bed bug activity returns within the warranty period. That coverage is part of the plan, not an add-on.
How does canine (K9) detection help find bed bugs?
A trained detection dog can cover a large area quickly and flag harborage zones that a visual inspection alone might not catch. K9 detection is especially useful in larger homes, multi-unit buildings, and situations where there is some uncertainty about how far bed bugs have spread. We treat canine detection as a fast, useful supplement to a careful visual inspection, not a replacement for it. Together, the two methods give us the most complete picture before we build a treatment plan.
How do we keep service visits discreet?
We understand that bed bugs carry a social stigma that has nothing to do with how clean your home is. Our technicians arrive in plain vehicles and handle every visit with professionalism and confidentiality. Your neighbors and guests are none the wiser, and we treat every client situation with the same quiet, matter-of-fact approach.
Honest Recommendations, Never an Upsell
We quote based on what we actually find and recommend only what your situation calls for. If a simpler approach will solve the problem, that is what we will tell you.
What does the re-treatment warranty cover?
Our re-treatment warranty means that if bed bug activity returns within the warranty period after treatment, we come back. That coverage is built into most of our treatment plans, not tacked on as an extra charge. We will explain exactly what the warranty covers and how long it lasts when we put together your quote.
Do I need to leave my home during a heat treatment?
Yes. People and pets need to be out of the home during the heat treatment process because of the high temperatures involved. We will give you a clear timeline so you know exactly how long to plan for. Most heat treatments allow you to return the same day. We walk you through the re-entry process and any steps to take when you get back.
How are treatments coordinated between landlords and tenants?
We work with both landlords and tenants and communicate clearly with everyone involved. Renters and property owners sometimes need help navigating next steps, and we can coordinate inspections and treatment schedules while respecting lease and notice requirements. For multi-unit buildings, we can scope the project building-wide and help property managers address the problem before it spreads further.
