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.

Our bed bug control service is designed to eliminate infestations at the source and prevent them from returning. By combining thorough inspection, targeted treatments, and follow-up support, we ensure your home or business remains protected against bed bugs and their potential risks.
We carefully examine sleeping areas, furniture, and common hiding spots to identify bed bug activity and determine the severity of the infestation.
Using safe and effective methods, we target bed bugs at the source, eliminating both adults and eggs to achieve long-lasting results.
After treatment, we monitor progress, provide preventive guidance, and take additional measures if necessary to keep your space bed bug-free.
 
                        Bed bug activity increases as warmer temperatures encourage movement and reproduction.
Bites and discomfort become more noticeable as infestations grow.
Bed bugs begin spreading to multiple rooms or adjacent units in multi-unit buildings.
 
                         
                        Bed bugs remain active indoors as people spend more time inside and move items around.
Infestations may spread to storage areas, closets, and guest rooms.
Increased risk of bringing bed bugs home from travel or secondhand furniture.

Lonestar does our quarterly pest control and we had to call for re-spray of our kitchen due to these 100 plus degree temperature days. They sent Eddie over right away and he was so helpful telling me to pick up dog food every day, plug drains daily, use vinegar solution for drains, and make sure they always spray an area of the custom cabinets that has a gap between the cabinets and wall. He was the best! Really educated me and was so patient and even funny as I stared wide eyed over his knowledge of all things cockroaches.

Have used Lonestar for years for normal treatments inside and outside, but just recently used them for mosquito control prior to an outdoor graduation pool party. EXCELLENT RESULTS AND PHENOMENAL SERVICE! We had them do a general area fogging and then leave-behind portable remote controlled area “mister” — we haven’t seen a mosquito in two weeks!

We have used Richard’s team for years. Recently we learned our neighbor’s had termites. We contacted Lone Star to learn about our options. The solution provided was better than solutions our neighbors suggested. In fact, we learned of several pitfalls that our neighbors might encounter (beyond higher cost over the long term).
