What is the going rate for professional pest control ?

A professional pest control company found some bed bugs in our bed room and has quoted me over $1100 ($900 first application, $200 second) to get the job done. This seems like highway robbery, given that they will spend at most 4 hours doing the job! What is the going rate to treat one room for bed bug treatment ? I have no preference between heat or chemical treatments. I live in Southern California.

1. I haven't had any calls on bed bugs yet and when I do get one I will probably pass on the job for if it is not done thorough, which would involve a lot of time it will make the problem worse. The exterminators that I know around the country that do bed bug work seem to average around $400-$600 a room, but you can't just treat the one room you will need to treat all adjacent rooms too.
