Orlando, FL
Bed Bug Exterminator (BBE), a Florida company that treats bed bug infestations, has expanded its service into the Orlando metro area. The company now covers Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties, working from its existing office in Winter Garden. Service is available in Kissimmee, Sanford, Apopka, Winter Park, and Oviedo.
The expansion follows a rise in bed bug activity across Florida. In a 2026 Top 50 Bed Bug Cities list, Tampa entered the ranking for the first time at No. 46 and Miami placed No. 47. The list is based on Orkin treatment data collected between May 2025 and May 2026. Experts agree that many of the worst cities for bed bugs are also popular travel destinations, and that the insects often travel home with visitors in luggage.
Orlando fits that pattern. According to Visit Orlando, the region drew a record 75.3 million visitors in 2024, more than any other destination in the United States. High visitor volume moves large numbers of people through hotels and short-term rentals, which gives bed bugs regular opportunities to move between properties.
“Orlando has been on our list for a while, and the numbers made the decision for us,” said Allan Bossel, Operations Expert at Bed Bug Exterminator. “This market’s AirBnbs and hotels are full of travelers visiting Disney, Universal, and everything else Orlando has to offer. That’s tens of millions of guests which means a guaranteed movement of bed bugs into the market. People need someone who can treat the problem reliably the first time.”
Warm weather adds to the problem, because bed bugs develop faster in warmer conditions. Ohio State University Extension reports that bed bugs develop from egg to adult in about 21 days at 86°F, compared with about 120 days at 65°F. Florida’s climate
keeps conditions in that faster range for much of the year.
Bed Bug Exterminator treats infestations with heat rather than repeat chemical spraying. The company heats the interior of a property to approximately 140°F, a
temperature that bed bugs and their eggs do not survive. As that temperature is maintained over a period of hours, the heat reaches into wall voids, mattress seams, and furniture where sprays often miss. Most treatments are completed in a single visit, which the company markets as its “1 Day & Done” service.
Bossel founded Michigan Bed Bug Specialists before joining Bed Bug Exterminator, and he brings more than a decade of experience in pest extermination and laboratory work to the role.
“We treat bed bugs and nothing else,” Bossel said. “We have built the company around one excellent service, and we plan to hold the Orlando work to the same standard as the rest of our Florida coverage.”
Residents and property managers in the Orlando area can request an inspection or a no-obligation quote by phone. Allan Bossel is available for interviews on bed bug activity in Florida and on heat treatment.
