Schertz Bed Bug Control Company handles one thing: bed bugs. Not general pest control, not a long list of services, just a focused approach to one of the more stressful infestations a home or building can face. We serve Schertz, Guadalupe County, and the surrounding communities, and we do it with a straightforward process that starts with a thorough inspection and ends with a verified result. If you have found signs of bed bugs or just want to know for certain whether you have them, this is the call to make. Bed bugs are not a sign of a dirty home. They are spread by travel, luggage, and used furniture, and they turn up in the cleanest houses and hotels. The situation is common and it is solvable.
For residential and commercial customers alike, the range of properties we handle is broad. Single-family homes, apartments, condos, multi-unit buildings, rental properties, offices, college dorms, shelters, nursing homes, hotels, and short-term rentals all fall within what we cover. A landlord coordinating treatment across several units gets the same careful, methodical approach as a homeowner dealing with one bedroom. Our focus is Schertz and the wider Guadalupe County area, and that focus is what keeps the work specific rather than generic.
You are calling someone who treats this problem discreetly. That matters because bed bugs carry a stigma they do not deserve, and the last thing anyone needs when they are already stressed is a service that handles the situation carelessly. We take it from inspection to follow-up.
A job like this is one to deal with properly the first time. That means starting with an inspection before any treatment is quoted or scheduled. Skipping that step leads to the wrong method, the wrong scope, and a price that does not reflect what the job actually involves.
A thorough bed bug inspection covers the places these insects prefer to hide: mattress seams, box springs, headboards, baseboards, bed frames, upholstered furniture, nightstands, and the cracks and crevices around them. The inspector looks for fecal spots, which appear as small dark staining on fabric and wood, shed skins left behind as nymphs grow, live bugs at any life stage, and eggs tucked into tight seams and joints.
Many people first notice bites before they see anything else, and a common early mistake is confusing bed bugs with fleas. The two look and behave differently. Fleas are darker, jump, and are more commonly found on pets and floor-level surfaces. Bed bugs are flat, oval, reddish-brown, and do not jump. They stay close to where people sleep and rest. Knowing the difference matters because the treatment is entirely different, and confirming which pest is present is exactly what the inspection is for.
The inspection determines whether bed bugs are present, how far the infestation has spread, and which treatment method fits the situation. That is what produces an accurate quote. We take pride in the home we hand back to you, and that starts with getting the diagnosis right.
No single treatment method fits every situation. The right approach depends on what the inspection reveals: the size of the infestation, how far it has spread, the type of property, and what the occupants need in terms of preparation and disruption. We size the treatment to the infestation.
Heat treatment is the option we lead with for most residential situations. Specialized equipment raises the air temperature throughout a room or an entire home to levels that are lethal to bed bugs at every life stage, including eggs, nymphs, and adults. The appeal is straightforward: a single visit handles the infestation without leaving chemical residue behind, and the process reaches into the cracks, seams, and voids where bed bugs hide.
Heat treatment also requires less preparation from the homeowner than a chemical treatment does. There is no need to launder and bag every item in the house beforehand. Certain heat-sensitive items should be removed, and we go through that list on the call. The cost is quoted after the inspection scopes the property, so the rate you get reflects the actual job.
Targeted chemical treatment uses professional-grade residual products and desiccant dusts applied directly to harborage areas: mattress seams, box spring frames, baseboards, headboards, and crack-and-crevice zones throughout the affected space. This approach typically involves two to three total visits spaced about two weeks apart, depending on how far the infestation has spread.
The genuine standard of care for most homes is an integrated approach that combines inspection, chemical or heat treatment, vacuuming, steam application, and mattress encasements into one coordinated plan. Each element addresses a different part of the problem. Vacuuming and steam handle surface activity and reduce the population before residual products go down. Encasements trap any remaining bugs in the mattress and make ongoing detection easier. We are respectful of your time, your home, and your privacy, and a combination plan is built around what the inspection shows, not a fixed formula.
For severe infestations or situations where bed bugs have spread through an entire building, whole-structure fumigation is the most aggressive option available. It is not the starting point for most jobs, but when an infestation has moved well beyond what heat or chemical treatment can address on their own, it is the right call. We will tell you plainly on the call whether the inspection findings suggest fumigation is worth discussing.
Treatment is one part of the project. The other part is making sure the result holds and that any remaining activity is caught early.
Mattress and box-spring encasements are installed as part of most plans. They seal off the two most common harborage sites and make any surviving bugs visible during follow-up checks. Interceptor and monitor devices placed under bed legs do the same job at floor level, trapping bugs that try to reach the sleeping area.
Follow-up visits are standard. Most plans include at least one return visit to verify results and address any remaining activity. We treat this as a project with a clear start and finish, not an open-ended arrangement. When the follow-up confirms the infestation is resolved, the job is done. Discreet, confidential service with nothing on show at the curb.
Bed bug treatment cost depends on three things: the size of the property, how far the infestation has spread, and which treatment method the inspection calls for. Heat treatment, chemical treatment, and fumigation are all priced individually because they involve different equipment, different visit structures, and different amounts of time.
The price is confirmed on the call, after the job is scoped. You are not asked to commit to anything before you know what the work involves and what it costs. Ask what the quote covers and you get a direct answer.
Straight answer on the phone. Clear plan. Then we treat.
Most treatment plans require some preparation from the occupant beforehand, and we walk through exactly what is needed on the call. For a chemical treatment, preparation typically includes laundering and hot-drying bedding, clothing, and curtains, bagging soft items, reducing clutter, and pulling furniture away from walls to allow access to baseboards and harborage zones.
Heat treatment generally requires less prep. The main task is removing items that could be damaged by elevated temperatures, and we provide a specific list.
Two things matter regardless of which method is used. First, do not throw out mattresses, furniture, or other items before the inspection. Discarding infested furniture often spreads bugs to other areas of the home or to neighbors, and it removes evidence the inspector needs to scope the job accurately. Second, do not move infested items from one room to another. That is one of the most reliable ways to turn a contained problem into a whole-home infestation.
Whether it's one room or a whole building, the service area covers Schertz and the communities around it. Guadalupe County is our primary focus, and we regularly handle jobs in Cibolo, Marion, Selma, Universal City, Converse, and New Braunfels. The broader San Antonio metro is within reach as well.
If you are not sure whether your address falls within the area we cover, the call will answer that quickly. We will tell you straight.
Bed bugs carry an unfair social stigma. They are not a sign of a dirty home or poor housekeeping. They hitchhike on luggage, clothing, and used furniture, and they turn up in clean homes, well-run hotels, and carefully managed apartment buildings. The faster a problem is identified and treated, the less disruption it causes. Calling sooner always leads to a better outcome than waiting.
You are calling someone who treats this problem discreetly. Visits are handled confidentially. Nothing about the job is discussed with neighbors, building management beyond what the occupant authorizes, or anyone else outside the work itself. For landlords and property managers coordinating access between tenants, that same discretion applies throughout.
Bed bug bites do not spread disease, but they are uncomfortable, and in some people they trigger allergic reactions. The itching, the lost sleep, and the anxiety an active infestation causes are real, and they are reason enough to move quickly. We handle the coordination, the prep guidance, and the follow-up so the occupant does not have to figure it out alone.
Careful inspection. Targeted treatments. Discreet service.
A thorough inspection covers the places bed bugs prefer to hide: mattress seams, box springs, headboards, baseboards, bed frames, upholstered furniture, nightstands, and the cracks and crevices around them. The inspector looks for fecal spots, shed skins, live bugs at any life stage, and eggs tucked into tight seams and joints. The findings from the inspection determine the treatment method, the scope of the job, and the price.
Our primary focus is Schertz and Guadalupe County, and we regularly handle jobs in Cibolo, Marion, Selma, Universal City, Converse, Seguin, and New Braunfels. The broader San Antonio metro is within reach as well. If you are not sure whether your address falls within the area, call and we will confirm quickly.
We are available every day from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and calls are answered by someone who knows the trade and can scope the job on the phone. We take short-notice work and can discuss what the schedule allows when you call. The goal is to get the inspection on the calendar as quickly as possible, since a smaller infestation is easier and less costly to treat.
We work directly with landlords and property managers to coordinate access and treatment across affected units. The discretion that applies to individual homeowners applies here as well. Nothing about the job is discussed with tenants beyond what the property manager authorizes, and the coordination details are worked out on the call before anything is scheduled.
The scope, the price, the treatment method, and the preparation needed are all confirmed on the call before anything is booked. You know exactly what to expect before the visit takes place. If anything changes between the call and the appointment, we work it out before showing up.
Preparation depends on the treatment method. Chemical treatment typically requires laundering and hot-drying bedding and clothing, bagging soft items, reducing clutter, and pulling furniture away from walls. Heat treatment requires less prep overall, mainly removing items that could be damaged by elevated temperatures. We walk through exactly what is needed on the call so nothing is left to guess.
After the initial treatment, you can reach us at (830) 266-5979 during business hours if you have questions or notice anything that concerns you.
The follow-up visit is scheduled as part of the plan and is not something you need to chase down separately. At the follow-up, we re-inspect treated areas, check encasements and interceptor devices, and address any remaining activity.
Visits are handled confidentially from start to finish. Nothing about the job is discussed with neighbors, building staff, or anyone outside the work itself. The focus is on getting the inspection done thoroughly, explaining the plan clearly, and treating the property with care for your time and privacy.
