Bed Bugs in North Texas

Bed bugs are every homeowner’s nightmare. These small, blood-feeding pests are experts at hiding and can quickly turn your home into an uncomfortable, sleepless place. Bed bugs don’t transmit diseases, but their bites cause itching, skin irritation, and anxiety. Once inside, they multiply fast and spread from room to room.

Pure Grit Pest Control provides discreet, effective bed bug extermination services designed to eliminate infestations and restore peace of mind.

Why Bed Bugs are a problem

  • Rapid Spread: Bed bugs hide in luggage, furniture, and clothing, spreading quickly between rooms and even neighboring units in apartments.

  • Unpleasant Bites: Their bites leave itchy, red welts, often in clusters or lines.

  • Hard to Eliminate: Bed bugs are resistant to many store-bought sprays and can survive months without feeding.

  • Emotional Toll: Infestations often cause stress, anxiety, and loss of sleep.

Signs of a bed bug infestation

  • Waking up with clusters of itchy, red bites.

  • Small blood stains or dark spots (bed bug droppings) on sheets and mattresses.

  • Shed skins or exoskeletons around bed frames, headboards, or baseboards.
