Houston Bed Bugs? — We’ll Fix It Today

No. Clinical studies show that bed bugs do not transmit blood-borne pathogens or infectious diseases to humans or household pets. However, their bites inject an anticoagulant saliva that frequently triggers allergic itching, secondary skin infections from scratching, and prolonged sleep deprivation.

Most professional heat treatment plans require occupants and pets to remain out of the property for approximately 4 to 8 hours. This accounts for operational setup, execution, and the cool-down period required before it is completely safe to resume normal indoor activity.

Bed bugs enter homes by hitchhiking on luggage, overnight bags, clothing, or used furniture after visiting an infested environment like a hotel, public transit vehicle, or multi-family complex. They are not attracted to dirt — they care only about accessing a warm host. Even the most spotless homes can experience an introduction.

Almost never. This is the question we hear most. Our 135°F heat treatment kills every bug and egg living inside your mattress, frame, and furniture — saving everything. People who throw away furniture before calling us often end up buying new items that get re-infested because the source was never treated.
