Just Bitting Bed Bugs is a bed bug specialist serving Schertz and the surrounding communities. We are not a general pest company that handles a little of everything. Every service we offer, every tool we carry, and every protocol we follow is built around one problem: bed bugs. Trusted by local homeowners, renters, and landlords across the area, we handle the job from the first inspection through the final follow-up visit, quickly, professionally, and with your privacy in mind.
If you woke up with bites you cannot explain, or you spotted something in your mattress seams and are not sure what you are looking at, you are in the right place. We will help you figure out what is going on and get it handled.
Most people have never had to call a bed bug exterminator before. When the moment comes, it helps to work with someone who does this every single day, not as one item on a long service menu, but as the only thing on the list.
We started Just Bitting Bed Bugs in 2022 with a straightforward idea. Schertz and the wider Comal County area deserved a bed bug service that was genuinely local, completely focused, and easy to work with. Four years in, that is still the whole mission. Our technicians are not generalists rotating between different pest calls. They know bed bug behavior, bed bug harborage patterns, and bed bug treatment inside and out, because that is all they do.
Experienced technicians who respect your home and privacy show up at every job. A local crew picks up and gets a discreet visit on the calendar. When you call, you reach someone who knows the area and takes your situation seriously from the first conversation.
We'll make a stressful problem painless.
Our technicians know how bed bugs hide. Before any treatment is recommended or quoted, we start with a thorough inspection. Treating without confirming the extent of an infestation is a waste of your time and money, and it often makes the problem harder to resolve. We do not skip this step.
During an inspection, our technicians examine the places bed bugs actually live: mattress seams and box spring folds, headboard joints, bed frames, baseboards, furniture harborage areas, and any cracks or crevices near sleeping areas. We look for live bugs, shed skins, and the dark fecal spotting that bed bugs leave behind. In some cases, we bring in a trained canine detection team. A detection dog is a fast, useful supplement to a careful visual inspection, helping us locate activity in areas that are difficult to access or examine by eye alone.
Two things worth knowing before you do anything else: do not throw out your mattress or furniture before an inspection. Disposing of infested items rarely solves the problem and can spread it. And do not move items from a suspected room to another part of the house, because that is one of the fastest ways to turn a contained infestation into a whole-home problem.
We keep you informed from inspection through follow-up, so you always know what we found, what we recommend, and why.
Call in the morning. Inspected by afternoon. Re-treatment backed by a warranty.
There is no single right answer for every bed bug situation. The right treatment depends on how far the infestation has spread, the type of property, and what the inspection reveals. We match the method to the situation rather than defaulting to one approach for every job. Most plans involve usually two to three total visits, depending on how far the infestation has spread.
Heat treatment is our flagship option, and for most situations it is the most effective tool available. Specialized equipment raises the air temperature in the room or the entire home to levels that are lethal to bed bugs at every life stage, including eggs and newly hatched nymphs. No life stage survives a properly executed heat treatment. Because heat penetrates into furniture, wall voids, and harborage areas that sprays cannot reliably reach, it addresses the infestation comprehensively rather than surface by surface.
Heat treatment is typically completed in a single visit, and it leaves no chemical residue behind. It also generally requires less preparation from you than a chemical treatment does, which is a real advantage when you are already dealing with a stressful situation. A follow-up visit is still standard to verify results, but for many households heat is the fastest path from problem to resolved.
Targeted professional-grade residual products and desiccant dusts applied to harborage areas, cracks, and crevices form the basis of a conventional chemical treatment. This approach typically runs a small number of visits spaced about two weeks apart, allowing the products to work through the bed bug life cycle over time.
For many homes, an integrated approach, pairing inspection, heat or chemical treatment, vacuuming, steam, and mattress encasements into one coordinated plan, is the genuine standard of care. Encasements trap any bugs or eggs remaining in the mattress and box spring, while interceptors placed under bed legs make ongoing monitoring straightforward. This kind of layered plan addresses the infestation from multiple angles and gives the treatment the best chance of holding.
For severe infestations or whole-building situations where other methods are not sufficient, whole-structure fumigation is the most aggressive option available. This is a specialized service reserved for cases where the scope of the problem requires it. We will tell you honestly whether your situation calls for it.
What sets us apart is pretty straightforward. We do not walk away after the first visit and consider the job done. Most of our plans include scheduled follow-up visits to verify that the treatment worked and that no activity remains. If something comes back within the warranty period, we come back too.
The goal is the infestation handled right the first time. But bed bugs are resilient, and a warranty-backed process means you have a clear path forward if anything resurfaces. You will know exactly what your warranty covers before we start, with no surprises later.
Proven methods. Honest pricing. Discreet people.
Every treatment we use is chosen with the people inside the home in mind. Heat treatment involves no chemical residue at all. When chemical products are used, our technicians apply them precisely to harborage areas and cracks and crevices, not as a broad spray across living surfaces. We follow all label directions and safety protocols, and we walk you through any steps you need to take before or after treatment so that re-entry is safe and comfortable for your household.
We also take preparation seriously. For heat treatments, preparation requirements are minimal. For chemical treatments, we will give you a clear prep checklist ahead of time, covering things like laundering and hot-drying bedding and clothing, bagging certain items, reducing clutter near sleeping areas, and pulling furniture away from walls. Proper prep helps the treatment do its job, and we explain every step in plain language so nothing is confusing.
Whether this is your first call or a second opinion, we work with a wide range of clients across the area. Homeowners and renters make up a large part of our work. We also serve landlords, property managers, apartment communities, multi-unit buildings, condos, townhomes, and commercial properties including hotels and short-term rentals.
For rental properties, we understand that landlord and tenant situations can be complicated. We work professionally with both parties and keep communication clear throughout the process.
One thing worth saying plainly: a bed bug problem is not a sign of a dirty home. Bed bugs are spread by travel and contact with used furniture, and they show up in the cleanest houses, hotels, and apartments. They hitchhike on luggage after a hotel stay, hide in secondhand furniture, and travel on belongings without anyone noticing. It can happen to anyone, and the sooner you call, the easier it is to resolve.
We've got your home covered.
Bed bugs carry a social stigma that is completely out of proportion to the reality. It is a common problem, it is solvable, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about. We handle every job professionally and confidentially. Our vehicles are plain and unmarked, so your neighbors will not know why we are there unless you tell them.
It is also worth knowing that bed bugs do not spread disease to people. That is genuinely reassuring. The reason fast treatment still matters is the discomfort: itchy bites, the possibility of an allergic reaction in some people, the risk of secondary skin infection from scratching, and the very real toll that disrupted sleep and ongoing anxiety take on a household. The sooner the problem is resolved, the sooner things get back to normal.
Your home and your privacy are in good hands.
Most people searching for bed bug treatment want to know one thing first: what is this going to cost? We give you a straight answer. Before any work begins, we quote the job clearly, with all costs explained upfront. Pricing varies based on property size and how far the infestation has spread, and we will walk you through exactly what goes into the number.
There are no surprise fees added after the fact. What we quote is what you pay.
It is also worth understanding why store-bought solutions rarely work. Nearly all populations of bed bugs have become widely resistant to the sprays sold in hardware stores. Foggers and bug bombs are especially problematic because they tend to scatter bed bugs deeper into walls and into neighboring units rather than eliminating them. Professional treatment reaches the harborage areas where bed bugs actually live, using methods that work.

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 good news is that modern professional treatment works, and we handle every job quickly, thoroughly, and with complete discretion. The table below walks through each method we offer so you can see what fits your situation before you call.
| Method | The Process | Ideal For | What to Expect |
|---|---|---|---|

No chemical residue. A follow-up to verify results is standard with most plans. |
| Bed Bug Inspection & K9 Detection | Careful visual inspection of mattress seams, box springs, headboards, and baseboards, Trained detection dogs locate bed bugs by scent, Confirms presence and extent before any treatment is quoted | Anyone who suspects an infestation or wants confirmation before committing to treatment | Single inspection visit. No treatment is quoted until the inspection gives us a clear picture of what we are working with. |
| Whole-Structure Fumigation | Fumigant penetrates the entire building structure, Handled by specialists for severe or whole-building infestations, Most aggressive option available | Severe infestations or multi-unit buildings where other methods are not sufficient | Requires vacating the property for a defined period. Not the default approach; most homes will not need it. |
| Follow-Up & Re-Treatment Visits | Scheduled return visits to verify treatment results, Re-treatment applied if any activity remains, Warranty covers re-treatment if needed | All treatment plans, since verification is part of how we confirm the job is done | One to two follow-up visits are standard after initial treatment. Re-treatment is covered under warranty if the inspection finds remaining activity. |
| Mattress Encasements & Monitoring | Encasements installed over mattress and box spring, Interceptor devices placed at furniture legs, Monitors positioned at key points around the room | Homes in active treatment or recently treated properties that want ongoing verification | Installed as part of most integrated plans. Ongoing passive monitoring with no additional visits required for the devices themselves. |
| Chemical (Conventional) Treatment | Professional-grade residual products applied to harborage areas, Desiccant dusts target cracks, seams, and voids, Multiple targeted applications spaced about two weeks apart | Situations where heat treatment is not the right fit for the space or scope | Typically two to three visits spaced roughly two weeks apart. Some residue remains in treated areas between visits. |
| Combination / Integrated Treatment | Inspection paired with heat or chemical treatment, Vacuuming and steam used alongside primary treatment, Mattress encasements added to complete the plan | Most homes where thoroughness matters and a layered approach gives the best result | Usually two to three total visits depending on how far the infestation has spread. This is the standard of care for most residential situations. |
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.
