“Courteous professional service! They know what they're doing and do it well.”
Homes and businesses are handled differently because access, scheduling and reporting needs are different. Start with whichever describes your property.
Residential Pest Control
Houses, condos, second homes and beach houses across Baldwin County — from a specific pest you are seeing right now to keeping seasonal pests out year after year.

Hotels, vacation rentals, restaurants, apartments, offices, retail and managed properties — service scheduled around how the property actually operates.
Explore commercial pest control →Bed Bugs & Beyond is a family-owned pest control company based at 22203 Aleutian Avenue in Foley, AL, owned by Mike Diaz and Chris Diaz.
The company handles pest control for both homes and businesses. Despite the name, bed bug work is one specialty among the full range of pests that show up along the Gulf Coast — ants, cockroaches, rodents, spiders, fleas, ticks and stinging insects included.
Service runs from the Foley location across Baldwin County and Alabama's Gulf Coast.
That covers inland Baldwin County communities like Foley, Robertsdale, Loxley and Silverhill, the Eastern Shore through Fairhope, Daphne and Spanish Fort, and the beach communities of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Foley is the company's only physical location.
Both, as two separate service experiences, because a house and a 90-unit condo building have almost nothing in common operationally.
A homeowner usually wants one pest identified, resolved and kept out. A hotel, vacation rental company, restaurant or apartment property needs work timed around guest turnover, kitchen hours and tenant notice.
Pests we treat
Most ant problems on the Gulf Coast are outdoor colonies foraging indoors, which is why treating the trail you can see rarely ends the activity. Effective control depends on identifying the species, finding where the colony is nesting, and interrupting the food and moisture that made your structure attractive.
Details →Bed bugs are introduced — they travel in on luggage, furniture, guests and previously infested items, not from poor housekeeping. Because they hide close to where people sleep, resolving an infestation starts with a thorough inspection of harborage areas and treatment of affected and connected areas as appropriate.
Details →Fleas and ticks are yard-and-pet problems that become indoor problems. Because most of a flea population exists as eggs, larvae and pupae in carpet, bedding and shaded soil, control requires treating the environment alongside veterinary treatment for pets.
Details →The right cockroach strategy depends entirely on species. German cockroaches breed indoors and require sanitation-plus-baiting work inside kitchens and bathrooms, while smokybrown and American cockroaches typically live outdoors and enter through gaps, drains and attic voids.
Details →Rodent control is an exclusion problem as much as a trapping problem. Removing the animals inside a structure only holds if the entry points — often gaps smaller than a quarter — are found and sealed.
Details →Spiders follow their prey, so persistent spider activity is usually a sign of an abundant insect population around the structure. Reducing exterior lighting, webs and insect pressure does more for long-term spider control than treating individual spiders.
Details →Stinging insect work is driven by nest location and species. Paper wasps build open combs under eaves, yellowjackets nest in wall voids and ground cavities, and each situation carries different risk to anyone nearby.
Details →Use our pest library to identify common Gulf Coast insects, rodents and other pests — including look-alikes that are easy to mix up.
Residential
Homeowners usually call about something specific: ants that came back, a roach seen at night, scratching in the attic, or bed bugs after a trip. The work starts by identifying the pest correctly and finding where it lives and travels — not just treating the spot where you saw it.
Houses here also face pressure that does not stop in winter. Humidity, sandy soils and heavy summer rain keep many pests active most of the year, which is why prevention around the exterior matters as much as anything done inside.
Ants on a counter, a roach in the kitchen at night, a spider in a corner. What you see indoors usually points to something outside.
Pests we treatA pest that returns every few weeks generally has a nest, harborage or entry point that has not been addressed yet.
Residential pest controlBed bugs are carried in on luggage, secondhand furniture and previously infested items. Finding them early keeps the job contained.
Bed bug controlScratching overhead, droppings along a wall or gnawed packaging in a pantry all indicate rodents have found a way in.
Rodent controlCommercial
Commercial properties need pest control that fits how the business runs. A resort cannot treat an occupied floor at check-in, a restaurant cannot lose its line during dinner service, and a property manager needs to know what was found and what happens next. Service is scheduled and documented around those realities.
Coastal properties
Within a few miles of each other you will find year-round houses, second homes that sit empty for months, short-term rentals turning over weekly, condo buildings, hotels and restaurants. Each one creates different pest conditions, and they sit close enough together that activity moves between them.
A vacant beach house builds up moisture and dry drain traps with nobody there to notice. A rental with weekly turnover carries a real introduction risk for bed bugs. A kitchen next door runs its own pressure. Knowing which situation you have changes the plan.
Service area
Bed Bugs & Beyond operates from one location in Foley and travels across Baldwin County — inland farm and subdivision country, the Eastern Shore bluffs, and the barrier island communities on the Gulf. Conditions change noticeably across that range, and so do the pests.
Homes and businesses get the same four steps. What changes is the scheduling, the areas we focus on and the products used for that pest.
We start by working out exactly what pest or issue is present, rather than treating a guess.
We look at where the pest is active, how it is moving, where it may be getting in, and what conditions on the property may be contributing.
We apply the appropriate professional treatment to the areas that matter for that pest and that property.
We share practical recommendations on entry points, sanitation and conditions, and set up recurring service where that makes sense.
Why local matters
Calls to (251) 324-9090 go to Bed Bugs & Beyond, not a national dispatch queue that assigns your address to whichever contractor is nearby.
Gulf Coast conditions — humidity, sandy soils, heavy summer rain, mild winters — drive which pests show up and when. That is the environment this company works in every day.
A slab home in Foley, a rented beach cottage in Gulf Shores and a restaurant kitchen have different entry points and different constraints. The service is matched to the property, not to a script.
Baldwin County mixes year-round residents with heavy seasonal turnover. Working on both residential and commercial properties means the seasonal pattern is familiar.

As a new customer Mike arranged a same day appointment to fit my schedule. I very much appreciated the courtesy.
Mike is very thorough and spots issues I didn’t see and brings them to my attention. He even takes pictures to show me what he finds outside. Things I hadn’t noticed before or even knew I had.
These guys are very knowledgeable about what they do at a very fair price as well. Probably the best pest control service in the area. Would recommend.
