Bed Bug Treatment in Corpus Christi, TX
A bed is a sanctuary. It’s a place to relax, read, and (of course) sleep. That’s why people cringe at the idea of bed bugs—insects that not only live under your mattress but crawl out at night to nibble on you! At ABC Corpus Christi, we understand how upsetting a bed bug infestation can be. If you’ve found bed bugs, or suspect you might have a bed bug problem in your home, don’t worry. One call to ABC and you can be sleeping easy in no time.
We often recommend thermal remediation (heat treatment), a non-chemical, not toxic method that uses heat to destroy bed bugs and bed bug eggs. Thermal remediation is a powerful and effective technique that will (in most cases) only require one treatment.
This method of treatment is friendly for pets and children and you can return to the house almost immediately after it’s complete. Normally, the full set-up, treatment and tear-down takes about a day.
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.
Bed bugs are not like roaches. They don’t thrive in a “dirty” environment, nor do they invade your home because you’ve left food out. Typically, they piggyback on luggage to get around.
Once inside a home, they secretly set up camp under mattresses. No building is immune to a bed bug invasion, no matter how clean—even five star hotels must be vigilant! Bed bugs have become a growing problem in Texas in recent years, Corpus Christi included.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon can you solve my bed bug problem?
Evaluation and planning can start immediately!
We’ll send out a pest control specialist (at no charge) as soon as service is requested and design a treatment plan, complete with a list of tasks that must be performed by the homeowner and complete pricing for the treatment.
A bed bug infestation is unsettling to say the least, and your family shouldn’t have to wait any longer than necessary to be bed bug free.
What happens during the free inspection?
The ABC Inspector will examine various parts of the home – especially the bedrooms – and verify the presence of bed bugs. Then, the same Inspector will design the treatment plan.
I haven’t seen bed bugs. Does this mean I don’t have to worry about them?
Maybe. But have you found mysterious bite marks on your face, neck, arms, or legs? If so, you may have a bed bug problem. They are skilled at hiding during the day and only come out to feed at night. Also, be on the lookout for bed bug exoskeletons under your mattress or in the mattress seams. Sometimes you might find rusty-colored spots on your mattress (stains from their fecal matter).
How can I prevent bed bugs and keep them from returning?
There is no guaranteed way to prevent bed bugs. Bed bugs are essentially “hitchhikers” and can be picked up by you on a trip or brought into your home on the clothes and in the luggage of guests.
The one thing you can do is be aware of their possible existence by carefully examining hotel rooms (or any place you visit and stay overnight, especially with luggage) and take steps not to bring them into your home, if you believe you’ve been exposed to them.
What is tent fumigation service, and when is it needed for bed bug treatment?
Tent fumigation, or “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 safety rules does ABC follow when using fumigant gas for bed bug treatment?
Safety is our number one priority while working for your family, treating your home. 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

“What a great experience having ABC Home and Commercial Services replacing our AC/Heating System that went out during the last big cold spell. Mario and Troy were here on time today they were both very professional and respectful of our home. They did a great job of replacing both our outside condensing unit and the air handler/heating unit in the attic crawl space. They also replaced our old thermostat with a new WI/FI unit. I highly recommend ABC for all your AC needs.”

“HVAC went out and they came by same day. They put in a call to order the part that was still under warranty. They were able to get it in much faster than expected. They installed the new part and also anchored down the unit, which our previous installer failed to do. I plan to keep doing business with this company! Thanks, Jorge!”
