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 [Read the sourced field guide](https://buggedpest.com/pest-library/bed-bugs) ![Adult bed bugs, a nymph, and restrained evidence along a white mattress piping seam](https://buggedpest.com/media/pests/luxury/bed-bugs-01-premium-mattress-seam-768.webp) Bed bug evidenceMattress piping seam ![Bed bugs and eggs in the protected gap behind brass headboard mounting hardware](https://buggedpest.com/media/pests/luxury/bed-bugs-02-brass-headboard-hardware-320.webp) Bed bug harborageHeadboard hardware ![An adult bed bug partly concealed beside the zipper teeth of a fabric suitcase](https://buggedpest.com/media/pests/standard/bed-bugs-03-suitcase-zipper-320.webp) Travel hitchhikerSuitcase zipper 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.

If yours is not here, [call (737) 247-7143](tel:+17372477143) or [text us](sms:+17372477143) 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.
