Dallas Bed Bug Treatment & Control
We’ve all been told to “sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite” at one time or another, but unfortunately the expression doesn’t explain how to keep the bed bugs from feeding on us while we sleep. At ABC, we know exactly what to do to keep these sneaky insects from setting up shop under your mattress or wherever else they may be hiding in your home. When it comes to bed bug control, homeowners trust ABC Home & Commercial.
Quick & Reliable Bed Bug Control
ABC utilizes two primary methods for bed bug control. The first is to apply a localized treatment solution to areas where bed bugs often hide, such as headboards, baseboards, wall joints and under carpet edging. Although this option is more cost-effective, applying spot treatments is less effective since these pests and their eggs are small enough to fit into virtually any cracks or crevices in your home.
Bed bugs can hide in many different places in your home and can fit into cracks the width of a credit card.
Some of the places you can find these pests include:
- In cracks on your headboard and bed frame
- Near the piping, seams and tags of your mattress and box spring
- In between the cushions or seams of your chairs and couches
- In the folds of your curtains
- In between your drawers
- In electrical outlets and appliances
- Where the wall and ceiling meet
Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation
The best way to tell if you have a bed bug infestation is to look for physical signs:
- Red or rust-colored stains on your sheets or mattresses, from the waste materials produced after they have fed on human blood.
- Tiny eggs, eggshells and light yellow exoskeletons bed bugs shed as they grow into adulthood.
- Living bed bugs.
Another sign that you might need bed bug treatment is the appearance of itchy, flat red bites on your arms and other areas which might be exposed while you are sleeping. Bed bugs are attracted to the body temperature and scent of a sleeping person and feed on their blood at night. That said, not everyone reacts to bed bug bites, and these bites can often be confused with bites from other insects.
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.
A bed bug infestation has nothing to do with level of cleanliness. They are typically brought into your home after a trip, hitching a ride in luggage. Any bedroom can be invaded by bed bugs—even at 5 star hotels which is why bed bug inspections are important if you suspect an infestation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this method friendly for pets and children?
The process is friendly to both pets and children, but due to the nature of the treatment, people and pets will need to vacate the home during the service. The product acts both on contact and as a persistent barrier for anything that tries to sneak by. Once dry, people and pets may continue using the space as usual with the added protection of the product keeping them pest free.
Are bed bugs dangerous?
Not generally. They don’t carry diseases like mosquitoes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not consider bed bugs to pose a public health problem. Their bites can sometimes cause itching and skin infections, however, and some people may suffer allergic reactions to bed bug bites.
How can I prevent bed bugs from returning after treatment?
Passive monitoring is one way to stop bed bugs in their tracks.
Maybe the most effective passive device we’ve come across is the ClimbUp®, which is a cup lined with slippery talcum powder. These cups are placed under the legs of furniture and will trap any bed bugs that try to make their way up to your furniture. Give us a call to find out more about the preventative and follow-up options we offer.
