I wouldn’t use Orkin, they are old school and use chemical treatments. I did the same thing and hired another big name extermination company only to find that they know NOTHING about bud bugs. They will tell you that they do, but unless they are set-up with Cryonite / or Heat Treatment; then they are set-up to to treat bed bugs. Harvard did a study and found that bed bugs are resistant to chemical pesticides. The bigger problem is that chemicals don’t kill the thousands of eggs that are hiding within the walls, bed frames, furniture etc. That’s why when you treat for bed bugs you will immediately see an improvement, but then after a few days when the eggs start hatching the infestation returns with full force. It may even take a few weeks before you notice the re-infestation, but they will be back.

Now you know why the bed bugs have returned. This little tid-bit of knowledge I just gave you cost me over $900 to figure out. After the 6th chemical treatment I knew something was up so I researched and researched and quickly discovered that chemical treatments are not effective. Now you know.

You have plenty of options when it comes to bed bugs. Just check out the following post: http://www.rentalprotectionagency.com/blog/renter/apartment-bed-bugs-1/ That should help yo understand your legal options.
