Bed Bug Pest Control

Bed bugs are annoying pests that most commonly dwell in crevices in your mattress, and give you bites that appear as small itchy welts. They can be hard to get rid of, due to their ability to stay well-hidden in cracks and crevices, and survive at room temperature for up to six months.

How do I know if I have bed bugs?

The easiest way to tell if you have bed bugs is if you are getting bed bug bites when you sleep. These bites appear as redness and swelling of the skin, often with itching.

Some people don’t notice bed bug bites at all, so other signs to look for include:

Live bed bugs
Dark spots on bed sheets or mattresses, which is usually bed bug blood
Bed bug eggs

How to get rid of bed bugs

It’s important to remember bed bugs usually spread to your home after travelling from somewhere that had a bed bug infestation. After staying at a hotel, wash your clothes at a high temperature, and you can always put your luggage in the sun when you get home – to kill off any potential bed bug stowaways – before you bring it inside.

If you already have a bed bug infestation, to get rid of them you really need to get proper bed bug pest control.
