Tiny but relentless, bed bugs are among the most stressful pests to encounter in any home or business. These nocturnal parasites feed exclusively on blood, typically at night, leaving behind itchy, red welts that can cause discomfort, allergic reactions, and even secondary skin infections. Because they hide deep within mattresses, furniture seams, baseboards, and luggage, infestations often spread quickly and are difficult to eliminate without professional help. Bed bugs can also contaminate bedding and personal belongings, creating costly replacements and disruptions. At LONESTAR Pest Solutions, our comprehensive bed bug control service targets infestations at their source through detailed inspections, precise treatments, and follow-up monitoring, restoring comfort, safety, and peace of mind.
