The short answer
How do I know if I have bed bugs?
Bed-bug work starts by confirming evidence in the affected sleeping areas and nearby hiding places. Bites alone cannot identify the pest. Tell the team about live insects, shed skins, spotting, travel, used furniture, prior products, and any movement of belongings between rooms. Accessible mattress seams, frames, headboards, upholstery, and baseboards may need inspection before room-specific preparation is explained. Do not assume an extensive clean-out or disposal is necessary before receiving those directions. Bugged does not currently offer whole-structure heat treatment. The proposed method, included rooms, preparation, and follow-up are confirmed in writing; one visit cannot be promised to resolve every case. Estimates are free.
- Live flat reddish-brown insects, pale shed skins, or small whitish eggs
- Dark spotting along mattress seams, bed frames, upholstered furniture, or baseboards
- New evidence appearing in more than one sleeping or resting area
Inspection first
What does a bed bug inspection involve?
Every visit starts with the property, not the product. This is what the technician checks before recommending anything.
Checked 01
Mattress seams, frames, headboards, nearby furniture, baseboards, and room-to-room pattern
Checked 02
Travel history, used furnishings, multi-unit conditions, and prior product use
Inspection to treatment
How does Bugged treat bed bugs?
Treatment selection follows the inspection, the written scope, and the applicable product label.
Step 02
Treat to the finding
Create an integrated plan using monitoring plus appropriate non-chemical and label-approved methods
Step 03
Document and follow through
Schedule follow-up based on evidence and life cycle rather than promising one-visit elimination
Scope before promises.
Inspection does not guarantee that a heat or pesticide option is available. Method, preparation, number of visits, adjacent-unit coordination, and warranty are confirmed in the written plan.
Before Bugged arrives
- Do not move bedding or furniture into unaffected rooms
- Keep a found specimen or clear photo in a sealed container
- Wait for a written preparation checklist before bagging or discarding items
What it costs
How much does bed bug treatment cost in Austin?
Bed-bug work is quoted after the inspection rather than covered by a plan price. The number of rooms involved, the furniture, and how much preparation the household can complete before the visit all move the scope. Treatment is a separate written estimate.
The initial-service fee is confirmed in your written quote. Payment authorization is collected at signup; the initial-service fee and first monthly payment are charged after initial service completion, plus applicable tax.

Good to know
What Austin homeowners ask about bed bugs.
Straight answers. If yours is not here, call (737) 247-7143 or text us and ask a human.
Should I clear out the room before the inspection?
Wait for instructions that fit your inspection and service. Moving belongings between rooms or starting an unnecessary clean-out can complicate the work. Tell the team where activity was noticed and what has already been moved or treated.
Will one bed-bug visit resolve every infestation?
That cannot be promised. Evidence, infestation level, access, preparation, and the selected method determine the scope and follow-up. The estimate explains the proposed work before you authorize service.
Do bites prove I have bed bugs?
No. Skin reactions vary and can have many causes. Confirmation should be based on a live specimen or characteristic evidence found during inspection.
Should I throw away my mattress?
Usually not before an inspection. Moving or discarding items can spread insects and may be unnecessary. Encasements, treatment, or monitored retention may be possible depending on condition.
