In Goodyear, it is most often a house or a large complex
About 86% of Goodyear's housing units are single-unit homes, according to the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 figures. More than half of the rest, about 8% of all units, are in buildings of 50 units or more. The two jobs run differently.
More about the house
About 78% of Goodyear's occupied homes are owner-occupied, according to the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 figures. If the house is yours, you make the call, and you decide. If you rent it, you can still call John yourself.
Most jobs take about an hour of work. A larger house, more furniture, or a lot of clutter makes it longer. Furniture can usually be treated and kept, so do not haul anything out before John has seen it.
More about the complex
John has served some complexes for years. He does the bed bugs, and the complex keeps its general pest company. One unit with bed bugs does not mean the units around it have to be treated. He judges that from the level of the problem and the unit's past.
Who pays in a rental? Arizona's bed bug statute for rentals does not say. In John's experience, it comes down to the lease.
What does not change
The inspection is free and takes 15 to 30 minutes. John tells you how serious it is, from 1 to 10, and gives a firm price before any work. He treats as soon as the prep is done, usually the next day, and the home is empty for 4 hours afterward, pets included. Every treatment includes a second visit two weeks later and a one-year warranty. If there is any reason a job cannot be warrantied, John tells you before treatment.
Until John has looked, leave things where they are.

What you do before each visit
Prep is the customer's half of the job, and John says it matters. He tells you exactly what yours is at the inspection, and a light problem needs much less of it than a heavy one. Expect to strip the beds; put away medication, food, and toys; and clear clutter out of the way. Bedding and any clothes he names go through the washer and a hot dryer, then into sealed plastic bags, where they stay until the work is finished.
After the first visit
John comes back in two weeks, and there is little for you to do in between. The treatment is still working during that time, because it leaves a residual that lasts for months. If a bed bug turns up, it is likely one that was hidden or has just hatched, and the residual is there for exactly that. Keep the prep in place: bagged clothes stay bagged. The second visit is lighter than the first.
What the warranty covers
John's answer is everything. If bed bugs give you any trouble during the warranty year, he comes back and deals with it, and he does not ask how they got there. The warranty is for the person who paid and the address treated. The whole home must have been treated. It is the same for all customers. And if something about a job means he cannot warranty it, you hear that before any treatment, with the choice to cancel. The warranty also requires that the prep be done before treatment and that the second visit be two weeks after the first.
Is it safe?
John's answer is yes, once it is dry. Every product is mixed and applied according to its label directions, and nobody is in the home while the treatment dries, which takes 4 hours. After that, it is safe for children and for pets. Before he starts, medication, food, and toys are put away, and animals are taken out of the home. If you have a question about the treatment and someone in your household, ask John at the inspection.
For tenants and property managers
I rent an apartment in Goodyear, and the office is slow to act. What can I do?
You can hire John yourself. Tell the landlord too, in writing or electronically. Arizona's statute asks that of a tenant. The landlord-tenant page explains the rest.
Does the new-customer offer apply to an apartment complex?
Yes. A complex that is new to us qualifies, just like a household. The pricing page gives the amount; mention it when John works out the plan for your property.
Is there a discount for seniors or military?
Yes, and first responders get it too. Mention it when John gives you the price.
Only our apartment is getting treated, not the whole building. Is it still under warranty?
Yes. One treated unit in an apartment building is covered on its own; the rest of the building does not need treating for your warranty to hold. It still depends on the prep being finished before the first treatment and on keeping the second visit.
What happens if a tenant has not finished the prep when John arrives?
John may not go ahead. He has turned down jobs where the prep was only partly done, because skipped steps make the work harder and keep the problem going longer. Check with the tenant that the list is finished before the visit is set.
