Bed Bug Treatment in Bryan-College Station, TX
Bed bug populations are on the rise throughout the country. These tiny creatures can hitch a ride to your home on luggage, backpacks and other belongings. If you’re having trouble dealing with bed bugs, you’re not alone. You can rely on ABC Home & Commercial Services for an effective treatment plan for bed bug control in Bryan-College Station. Our pros use proven methods to tackle your problem, so you can rest easy again.
Our most preferred treatment method is also the most environmentally and family friendly. Heat Remediation is a process of introducing high heat (130 degrees or more) into the room or rooms where bed bugs are an issue.
These temperatures will kill off bed bugs at all stages of development, without leaving any chemical residue or other substances. This treatment is extremely effective, and allows you and your family to return home immediately.
The ABC Process
1. Contact ABC
When you contact us, we will schedule an inspection to get an understanding of the problem. In some cases, we can give you a quote over the phone.
2. Get An Estimate
If you have an inspection, we will send you a custom treatment plan and estimate afterward. Once we get your approval, we will schedule your treatment.
3. Treatment
We will come to your property and treat for pests in common hiding and nesting areas. Over time, you will start seeing less and less pest activity.
4. Prevention
Customers with our ongoing pest management services will receive periodic retreatments to prevent the return of the most common pests in our area.
You may not be able to completely prevent bed bugs from entering your home, but you can help keep an infestation from spreading by being on the lookout for early signs of their presence. There are also things you can do to protect the parts of your home that may be the most vulnerable.
- Clean up clutter – keeping clutter to a minimum prevents giving them additional places to shelter.
- Regularly wash and heat-dry bed sheets, blankets, bedspreads and clothing that touches the floor. Bed bugs can hide in laundry baskets, so be sure to clean these as well when you do laundry.
- Monitor the things coming into your home – luggage, used furniture, infested clothing can all be transports for bed bugs. Anytime you travel or have guests, inspect the things coming into your home for signs of bed bugs, and remove and clean them immediately.
- Mattress Encasement – Bed bug-proof mattress encasements don’t prevent a bed bug infestation, but they can prevent the pests from infesting the mattress, and this can help with their detection and removal.

What is tent fumigation service, and when is it needed for bed bug treatment?
Tent fumigation (also known as “tenting”), is a highly effective solution for eliminating serious bed bug infestations. Preparation for fumigation can be extensive, requires thoughtful coordination, and follows strict safety procedures. Tenting a home for bed bugs should always be done by a professional with proper certifications and licensing in order to be performed safely and effectively.
What rules does ABC follow with regards to safety when using fumigant gas for bed bug treatment?
Safety is our number one priority when treating your home and working for your family. We adhere to strict guidelines set forth by the fumigant manufacturer as well as state and federal regulatory agencies. During all structural fumigations, ABC regularly monitors the fumigant levels within the structure for efficacy, as well as the air outside the structure. We use specially designed equipment capable of detecting fumigant levels as low as 1 part per million (ppm). We employ aeration times far exceeding what is required by law and confirm 0 ppm clearance levels multiple times before allowing you and your family to return to your home. Additionally, we follow all manufacturer recommendations, including not fumigating homes with attics enclosed in polyurethane spray foam insulation (PSFI).
We care about our customers, and want them to be informed about products and safe handling. For more information about gas treatment and safety measures, visit:

What Our Customers Are Saying
Keith Castleberry

“Only good after you finally get a senior tech involved. Our water system was installed in 05/23, started leaking water at the faucet in 05/24. We called, their “tech” came out and said we needed a new faucet because ours was corroded, turned it off and said he would get back with us shortly. HUH? The filtered water faucet is corroded? The tech never got back to us, so I had to call about 6 times, get aggravated, use a substitute ice maker, buy water, and wait 3 weeks before a senior tech was finally sent out. He fixed the system, which only had an easily repairable air clog, explained the entire thing to me, and to two other techs who came with him. The techs treated me very respectfully, apologized for their failure and did a great job. I wish they were more responsive and faster. Also, their arrival times are in 6-12 hours gaps, so 8am to 8pm or 12-8pm is the best I could get. Mind blowing.”
