Pest Control in Montgomery County, TX

I'm Bert Bertrand, and I've been treating homes and businesses for pests in Montgomery County for 35 years. When you call Bert's Bugs, you get me. Not a call center, not a rotating crew that's never seen your house before. I show up, I look at the actual problem, and I tell you straight what it'll take to fix it.

Most of what people call me about falls into a few buckets: termites, bed bugs, fleas, and the general run of ants, roaches, and spiders that come with living in this part of Texas. I handle all of it, for houses, offices, shops, rentals, and commercial buildings.

What I treat

Here's the full list of what I do, so there's no guesswork:

• Termite control. Inspection, treatment, and honest advice about damage and risk.
• Bed bug treatment. For homes, rentals, and businesses where they've spread.
• Flea treatment. Usually after a pet problem gets out of hand or a rental sits empty.
• General pest control. Ants, roaches, spiders, and the usual seasonal invaders.
• Residential and commercial service. Same care whether it's your kitchen or your storefront.
• Quarterly service. Regular visits so problems don't build up in the first place.

If it's not on that list, I don't do it. I'd rather tell you the truth than sell you something that isn't my line of work.

Why termites get their own conversation

Termites are the ones that keep me up at night on behalf of my customers. They work quietly, and by the time you see mud tubes or a soft spot in the trim, they've usually been at it a while. Our humidity and long warm season make Montgomery County good termite country, unfortunately.

For termite treatment here in the county, I start with a real inspection. I check the perimeter, crawl spaces, and the spots where wood meets soil. Then I explain what I found and what treatment makes sense for your situation. Some homes need a full soil treatment; some need targeted work. I won't pretend a small problem is a big one.

If you've spotted little piles of what looks like sawdust, or discarded wings near a windowsill, call me before you do anything else. Early is always cheaper than late.

How a visit actually goes

You call, we talk about what you're seeing, and I set a time. When I get there, I look before I treat. I want to know how the pest is getting in and why it's staying, because killing what's there without fixing the reason just buys you a few weeks.

After I treat, I tell you what to expect and when. Some pests drop off fast. Bed bugs and fleas can take a follow-up. I'll be honest about that up front so you're not surprised.

Homes and rentals

For a house, I work around your family and pets and keep things clear about safety. For rentals, I'll coordinate with landlords or tenants so the treatment actually gets done between the two of you.

Businesses

For a shop, office, or commercial building, I schedule around your hours when I can, and I keep it discreet. Nobody wants customers watching a pest treatment.

The case for quarterly service

A lot of my long-term customers are on quarterly service. Four visits a year keeps ants, roaches, and spiders from ever getting a foothold, and it means I catch bigger issues like termites early. It's the cheapest pest control there is, because you're preventing instead of reacting.

Frequently asked questions

Do you serve all of Montgomery County?

Yes. I'm based here and cover the whole county for residential and commercial work. Give me a call with your address and I'll confirm scheduling.

How do I know if I have termites?

Common signs are mud tubes on foundations, discarded wings near windows, small piles that look like sawdust, and wood that sounds hollow or feels soft. If you spot any of those, get an inspection before the damage grows.

Are your treatments safe for pets and kids?

I use products responsibly and tell you exactly what to expect after each treatment, including any time you should keep pets or kids off a treated area. I'll answer any safety questions before I start.

How many visits does bed bug or flea treatment take?

It depends on how far things have spread, but bed bugs and fleas often need a follow-up visit to catch what hatches after the first treatment. I'll be honest about that when I inspect.

What does quarterly service include?

Four visits a year for general pests like ants, roaches, and spiders, plus a chance for me to catch bigger issues such as termites early. It's the best way to keep problems from building up.
