Commercial pest pressure in Sherman differs from residential in scale, source, and stakes. Health code, employee exposure, and customer experience all factor into commercial treatment design.
8-16 weeks from introduction to noticeable bites
Bed bug populations in Sherman homes typically grow from single-female introduction to noticeable bite activity in 8-16 weeks. Earlier detection during the pre-bite phase requires monitoring rather than waiting for symptoms.
Inspection protocols that miss this category produce the recurring issues homeowners attribute to treatment failure.
Home size and treatment scope economics
Bed bug treatment cost in Sherman depends on home size, infestation extent, and treatment method (chemical vs. heat). Chemical protocols typically run $300-800 for a single residence; whole-house heat treatment runs $1,500-3,500.

Why student housing protocols differ
College dormitories and student housing in Sherman create bed bug introduction patterns that peak during fall and spring move-in periods. Inspection protocols differ from typical residential contexts because residents change frequently.
Field experience across Sherman properties consistently confirms this pattern matters more than statewide averages suggest.
Live bed bugs after professional treatment
Live bed bugs may appear for 5-10 days after professional treatment as residual insecticide contacts bugs emerging from deeper harborage. The post-treatment activity is part of the protocol, not evidence of failure.
