Most people have never had to call a bed bug exterminator before. If this is your first time dealing with this, the first thing to know is that bed bugs are not a sign of a dirty home. They are hitchhikers. They travel on luggage, used furniture, clothing, and secondhand mattresses. They turn up in the cleanest apartments, hotels, and houses in Schertz and across the country. Anyone can get them.
The second thing to know: bed bugs do not spread disease to people. That is worth saying plainly, because it is one of the most common fears callers mention. What they do cause is real and worth taking seriously. Bites appear in lines or clusters and can be intensely itchy. Some people have allergic reactions. Repeated scratching can lead to secondary skin irritation. And the anxiety and lost sleep that come with an infestation are just as real as the bites themselves. Getting treatment started quickly matters.
Here are the signs to look for before you call:
One question we hear often is whether bites might be from fleas rather than bed bugs. Flea bites tend to cluster around the ankles and lower legs, while bed bug bites appear on any exposed skin and are often in a more deliberate line or grouping. A professional inspection will confirm which pest you are dealing with, but if you are seeing the signs above, bed bugs are a strong possibility.
We keep you informed from inspection through follow-up, so you always know where things stand and what comes next. Your home and your privacy are in good hands.
Our technicians know how bed bugs hide. They know the spots that get missed, the furniture joints that look clean but aren't, and the difference between a contained early infestation and one that has spread through a room. That knowledge shapes every plan we build.
Every job starts with a thorough inspection. No treatment is quoted until we confirm what is present and how far it has spread. From there, we build a plan around your property, your situation, and the right method for the job. The work has a clear start and a clear finish.
A local crew picks up and gets a discreet visit on the calendar. We arrive in plain vehicles and handle everything professionally and confidentially, because we understand that privacy matters to you.
Inspection is always the first step. Our technicians conduct a careful visual inspection of mattress seams, box springs, headboards, baseboards, bed frames, and surrounding furniture. We look for live bugs, fecal spotting, shed skins, and eggs in the places bed bugs actually hide.
For faster coverage, especially in larger spaces, we also offer trained canine (K9) scent detection as a useful supplement to the visual inspection. Detection dogs are trained to locate bed bugs by scent and can cover a room quickly, helping confirm presence or absence before treatment begins. No treatment is quoted until the inspection gives us a clear picture of what we are working with.
Same-day and scheduled inspections are available. Call (830) 266-5979 to set one up.
Heat treatment is our flagship option and the one most customers choose. Specialized equipment raises the air temperature in the room or entire home to levels that are lethal to bed bugs at every life stage, eggs included. Because heat penetrates furniture, walls, and all the places bugs hide, it works where sprays often cannot reach.
Most heat treatments are completed in a single visit. There is no chemical residue left behind, and heat treatment generally requires less preparation from you than a chemical treatment does. That makes it the fastest, most straightforward path from infestation to resolution for most situations.
We handle both whole-room and whole-home heat remediation. The infestation handled right the first time is the goal every time.
For situations where chemical treatment is the better fit, we apply professional-grade residual products and desiccant dusts directly to harborage areas. These are not store-bought sprays. Nearly all bed bug populations have become widely resistant to common over-the-counter products, and foggers tend to scatter bugs deeper into walls and neighboring units rather than eliminate them. Professional-grade materials work differently.
Chemical treatment typically involves a small number of visits spaced about two weeks apart. For most homes, the most thorough approach is an integrated plan that pairs inspection with heat or chemical treatment, vacuuming, steam, and mattress encasements. This is the genuine standard of care for a thorough result.
Most situations involve an initial treatment plus one or two follow-up visits, usually two to three total, depending on how far the infestation has spread.
For severe infestations or situations involving an entire building, whole-structure fumigation is available. This is the most aggressive option we offer and is handled by specialists. It is not the default approach, and most homes will not need it. But when the scope of an infestation calls for it, we can walk you through whether it is the right fit.
Mattress and box-spring encasements are installed as part of most integrated treatment plans. They trap any remaining bugs, cut off harborage, and make ongoing monitoring much easier. We also place interceptor devices and monitors at furniture legs and key points around the room. These supporting measures extend the effectiveness of treatment and give you a way to verify that the problem is resolved.
Most plans include scheduled follow-up visits to verify that treatment worked and that no activity remains. If re-treatment is needed, our warranty covers it. We do not consider the job done until you are confident the problem is gone. We'll make a stressful problem painless.
Whether this is your first call or a second opinion, we work with property managers, landlords, and tenants across Schertz and the surrounding area. Multi-unit properties present their own challenges. Bed bugs can move between units through wall voids and shared spaces, which means coordination between landlord and tenant is important for treatment to hold.
We handle apartment complexes, condos, rental homes, and commercial properties. For hotels and short-term rentals, we understand that speed and discretion are especially critical, and we work around your schedule to minimize disruption.
Experienced technicians who respect your home and privacy show up to every job. We treat every property, whether it is a single room or a full building, with the same level of care and confidentiality. We've got your home covered.
Bed bug treatment pricing depends on the size of the property, how far the infestation has spread, and which treatment method is the right fit for your situation. We do not quote prices without an inspection first, because a number pulled out of thin air is not useful to you. What we can tell you is that after the inspection, you will have a clear, honest quote before any work begins.
Same-day and emergency appointments are available when you need help quickly. Call in the morning. Inspected by afternoon. Re-treatment backed by a warranty.
Get in touch and we'll set a discreet visit.

Not at all. Bed bugs are hitchhikers that spread through travel and contact with used furniture. They show up in the cleanest apartments, hotels, and houses. Anyone can get them, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
Nearly all populations of bed bugs have developed wide resistance to common over-the-counter products. Foggers and bug bombs are especially problematic because they tend to scatter bugs deeper into walls and neighboring units rather than eliminate them. Professional-grade methods target the harborage areas where bed bugs actually live, using tools that work.
Most situations involve an initial treatment plus one or two follow-up visits, usually two to three total, depending on how far the infestation has spread. Heat treatment is often completed in a single visit, though a follow-up to verify results is still standard with most plans.
No. Bed bugs do not spread disease to people. What they do cause is real discomfort: itchy bites, allergic reactions in some people, the risk of secondary skin infection from scratching, and the very real anxiety and lost sleep that come with an infestation.

Bed bugs are a common problem, and they have nothing to do with how clean your home is. They hitchhike on luggage, used furniture, and clothing, and they can turn up anywhere.

The table below walks through each method we offer so you can see what fits your situation before you call.

Do I have to throw out my mattress or furniture?
In most cases, no. Throwing out a mattress or piece of furniture before an inspection is actually one of the things we ask you to avoid. Moving infested items out of a room can spread bed bugs to other parts of the home. An inspection tells us what we are actually dealing with, and in the vast majority of situations, treatment and encasements are enough to resolve the problem without replacing anything.
How does heat treatment work, and why does it reach bed bugs that sprays miss?
Heat treatment works by raising the air temperature in a room or entire home to levels that are lethal to bed bugs at every life stage, including eggs. The heat penetrates furniture, wall voids, mattress interiors, and other tight spaces where bugs hide and where a spray simply cannot reach. Nearly all bed bug populations have also developed wide resistance to common over-the-counter products, so professional heat is a more reliable path to a thorough result.
How many visits will my treatment take?
It depends on the method and how far the infestation has spread. Heat treatment is often completed in a single visit, though a follow-up to verify results is still standard. Chemical and integrated treatment plans usually involve an initial treatment plus one or two follow-up visits, two to three total in most situations. We will give you a clear picture of what to expect after the inspection.
One-Visit Residue-Free Heat Treatment
Heat treatment is completed in most cases in a single visit, with no chemical residue left behind. It is the fastest, most straightforward path from infestation to resolution for most residential situations.
How do I prepare my home for treatment?
Preparation depends on which method we use. Heat treatment generally requires less prep than chemical treatment. For most plans, we ask you to launder and hot-dry bedding and clothing, bag loose items, reduce clutter where possible, and pull furniture a few inches from the walls. One important note: do not move infested items to another room before treatment, since that can spread the problem. We will walk you through exactly what to do before we arrive.
Do I need to leave the home during a heat treatment?
Yes, people and pets should not be in the home while heat treatment is in progress. We will tell you how long to plan to be away, which is typically several hours. Once the treatment is complete and the home has cooled, you can return. We will confirm the timeline with you when we schedule the appointment.
How can I tell bed bugs apart from fleas?
It is a common question, and the two pests are easy to mix up at first. Flea bites tend to cluster around the ankles and lower legs, while bed bug bites appear on any exposed skin and are often in a line or cluster pattern. Fleas are also much smaller and move by jumping, while bed bugs are flat, reddish-brown, and about the size of an apple seed. A professional inspection will confirm which pest you are dealing with.
Discreet and Confidential Service
We arrive in plain vehicles and handle every visit professionally and privately. From the first call to the final follow-up, your home and your situation are treated with complete discretion.
Why do not store-bought sprays and foggers work?
Nearly all bed bug populations have developed wide resistance to the active ingredients in common over-the-counter sprays. Foggers and bug bombs are especially problematic because they tend to scatter bed bugs deeper into walls and into neighboring units rather than eliminate them. Professional-grade residual products and heat treatment work differently, targeting harborage areas directly with methods that bed bugs cannot simply avoid.
How do we keep visits discreet?
We arrive in plain vehicles and handle every job professionally and confidentially. We understand that this is a private matter, and we treat it that way from the first call through the final follow-up visit. Your home and your situation are handled with complete discretion.
Re-Treatment Warranty
Most plans include scheduled follow-up visits to verify results, and our warranty covers re-treatment if any activity remains. We do not consider the job done until you are confident the problem is gone.
How does canine detection help find bed bugs?
Trained detection dogs locate bed bugs by scent and can cover a room quickly, which makes them a useful supplement to a careful visual inspection. They are especially helpful in larger spaces or situations where a visual inspection alone might miss a low-level infestation. We use canine detection as one tool in the inspection process, not as a replacement for a thorough visual check.
Why is an infestation not a sign of a dirty home?
Bed bugs are hitchhikers. They spread through travel, used furniture, luggage, and clothing, and they turn up in the cleanest apartments, hotels, and houses. Cleanliness has nothing to do with it. We say this plainly because we know the stigma is real, and we want people to call sooner rather than letting a manageable problem grow while they worry about what others will think.
How soon can service start after I call?
Same-day and next-day inspections are available when scheduling allows. If you call early in the day, we will do our best to get a technician to you that afternoon. The sooner we confirm what you are dealing with, the sooner treatment can begin and the sooner you can get back to sleeping without worry.
