About BedBugWizard

Finding bed bugs is stressful, and the internet is full of conflicting advice and products that don't work. BedBugWizard exists to give plain, practical answers: how to confirm you really have bed bugs, what treatment actually works, what it should cost, and how to get it done without getting ripped off.

What you'll find here

• Step-by-step guides on spotting bed bugs, identifying bites and checking a hotel room.
• Honest comparisons of whole-home heat treatment, chemical treatment and do-it-yourself options.
• Realistic cost ranges and a prep checklist so treatment works the first time.
• City guides for major U.S. metro areas with local notes on apartments, landlords and what to ask a pest control company.

How we make money

Reading the site is free. We earn money in two ways: from advertising shown on the site, and from participating pest control companies who pay to receive treatment requests from people who ask to be matched. Neither one changes what our guides say. Ads are labeled, and no company can pay to change our advice or cost estimates.

What we are not

We are not a pest control company and we don't treat homes. We don't give medical advice; if a bite looks infected or you have a strong reaction, see a doctor.
