- Plain black trucks. No giant bug in your driveway.
Before Your Treatment
- Wash bedding, clothes and fabrics, then dry them on high heat for at least 30 minutes
- Bag clean items in sealed plastic bags so bed bugs cannot get back in
- Pick up clutter from floors, closets and under beds
- Vacuum floors, mattress seams and furniture, then throw the bag away outside
The Most Important Rule
The most important rule: do not move furniture or belongings to other rooms or other homes before treatment. It spreads bed bugs. Do not use store foggers or sprays, which scatter bed bugs and make treatment harder.

Wichita Customers Rate Bedbuginator on Google
I had made a few phone calls and even had someone come out before I found Bedbuginator. The company that came out told me that they wouldn't be able to treat the bugs that were there at the same time and wanted to be paid separately, which left me feeling a bit disappointed. I started searching again and ended up coming across Bedbuginator. I got a hold of Flint by text and was able to get Joshua, Zachary and Selecia to come out on the same day, and they also helped me feel like I could afford it. Thanks again for coming on such short notice.
Best price and service in Wichita! A wonderful Christian local business. Very responsive, trust worthy, and knowledgeable. Flint went above and beyond. Thanks again for all your help!
When we moved to Wichita, I needed an exterminator ASAP. After reading the reviews online - I figured we'd give these guys a call. They not only reduced the bug population around our home, they cleared out the whole herd in the middle of summer. The customer service rep diligently worked out a plan that fit our needs while the techs have professionally gone about debugging our house. I highly recommend this company!
Taylor did a great job at our house.
