Bed Bug Pest Control
No one wants to share a bed with unwanted guests, and these are some of the most difficult to get rid of, from introductions to infestations – we’ve got you covered!
Bed bugs can find their way into even the cleanest homes in
Lexington and surrounding areas of Kentucky. They can come from many different sources, including infested furniture or clothing, or from suitcases that have been in hotels with bed bugs.
These pests are small, flat, oval-shaped bugs with reddish-brown bodies and can live in any small crevice or protected area. The most common place to find them is in beds, where people sleep, but they can also move to other areas as the infestation grows. You may notice welts, irritation, fecal smears, and blood spots on your bedding if you have an infestation.
Although Bed Bugs are visible to the naked eye, due to their nocturnal behavior, some people may not become aware of a bed bug infestation until they notice bites on their skin. Some individuals do not even react to bed bug bites at all. For this reason, it is possible for a bed bug problem to go unnoticed for some time, or until another member of the household begins experiencing symptoms. If you suspect you may have bed bugs, we recommend you do not wait and contact a professional bed bug exterminator today.
If you suspect you have bed bugs and would like a free, no-obligation
estimate, Berner Pest is ready to help you find a solution!
The first step toward resolving your bed bug issue begins with positive identification. Berner makes it a priority to show up fast for bed bug inspections as we understand how traumatic these pests can be.
Second, where customer prep is concerned, Berner takes a less is more approach. While other companies typically require customers to perform an extensive and lengthy preparation checklist before they’ll even provide treatment, we prefer to treat a bed bug infestation like it’s a crime scene – TOUCH NOTHING.
We’ve found over the years that this invasive “customer required” prep often causes bed bugs to scatter or get moved from room to room, causing increased costs for the customer.
Instead, allow our professionals with the understanding of bed bug biology, tendencies, and hiding places to do the job as this will help us more effectively identify, treat, and develop a plan to address the infestation.
Berner utilizes the latest residual contact and dust treatments applied to cracks, crevices, and voids in bed bug hiding places. Often many DIY bed bug products contain pyrethrins or pyrethroids that bed bugs are often resistant to, for this reason your bed bug treatment must be carefully planned and executed.
Put your trust in Berner’s bed bug program to give you back a restful night’s sleep – contact us today for a free, no-obligation estimate and a timely initial treatment!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have bed bugs?
Common signs include small rust-colored stains on mattress seams, tiny white eggs, shed skins near hiding spots, and bites in clusters or lines on arms and legs. For photos and identification details, see our bed bug identification guide. A professional inspection is the most reliable way to confirm an infestation.
How does Berner Pest Solutions treat bed bugs?
We use a comprehensive treatment combining targeted residual insecticide applications to harborage areas — mattress seams, bed frame, baseboards, and outlets — with a follow-up inspection 2 weeks later to confirm complete elimination.
How long does bed bug treatment take?
A typical treatment visit takes 2–4 hours depending on infestation severity and home size. A follow-up is scheduled 2 weeks later to treat any remaining activity and confirm the infestation is resolved.
Do I need to prepare my home before bed bug treatment?
Very little. We take a less is more approach to prep. Moving, washing, or bagging items before an inspection can scatter bed bugs into other rooms and make treatment harder. Leave everything where it is, and after our inspection we will give you simple, case-specific instructions if anything needs to be done.
Is bed bug treatment safe for my family and pets?
Yes. We ask that people and pets vacate treated rooms for 4 hours after service. Once the product is dry, the home is safe for re-entry. Products are applied precisely to bed bug harborage areas only.
