Adam is an absolute life-saver. My wife and I were in the middle of a move a few Saturdays ago when the movers we hired stopped and told us they found evidence of bed bugs on 2 of our mattresses, and said they had to unload what had been packed on the truck and couldn't return until the house was treated by a professional exterminator. The contract for the sale of our house dictated that we needed to be moved out by the end of the next day (Sunday) so we were in shambles trying to find someone to come treat our house on a weekend so that we could cram 2 days of moving into 1 or even half in order to be out on time. Thankfully, my wife called Instant Bed Bug Assassins after a quick Google search and spoke to Misty, who could not have been more empathetic and helpful. She calmly answered all our frantic questions and connected us with Adam who was on call that day. He gave us a rough quote for treatment over the phone and said they could come out on Sunday, but wanted to do a FaceTime evaluation to confirm the quote. Over Facetime, I showed him the bug that the movers had found in a seam of one of our mattresses, and my wife sent a good close-up photo. Adam identified it right away as a carpet beetle - 100% NOT a bed bug. The movers had also seen thin lines of small black dots along the adhesive strips on the bottom of our mattress that they suspected were eggs or bed bug feces, but Adam confirmed that it was in fact flecks of paint that the adhesive had pulled up from our black metal bed frame. He could have easily taken advantage of our panic and the time restrictions we were under, but instead his honesty and professionalism saved us not only from paying for an unneeded treatment, but also from several hundreds of dollars to buy a few additional days to move out per our home sale contract. He even contacted our moving company himself to give his professional evaluation. We were able to get movers back to our house on Sunday, and all worked out. I hope we never do actually have bed bugs, but if we do, I'll be calling Adam and Misty back, and will recommend them to anyone I possibly can.

Unfortunately weekend out of town went bad. Discovered bites the first morning, and more after second day at cabin. Freaked out when doctor advised they were bed bug bites. Called Bed Bug Assassins immediately. They came out next day and found a few in one bedroom. Three days later, house was treated and no sign of the little demons since. They were quick, professional, no truck with big bugs all over, so very discrete. Kevin and Michael were great to work with and showed us how and where to look in hotels, cabins, etc. for the little monsters before we trust the bed. Thank you guys!
