Bed Bug
Signs You May Have a Problem Key signs include finding unexplained reddish-brown spots on your bedding or being bitten while slumbering. You might spot the bugs themselves, which are small and wingless, found in mattresses, bedding, furniture, carpets, and other places where people sleep. Telltale signs are mentioned, though not detailed in the sources.
Identifying the Pest Identifying bed bugs can be difficult by phone or email, requiring an inspection. A professional bed bug survey is a very invasive process. A pest professional will leave no stone unturned looking for evidence, including inspecting your bed and the inside of your bedside tables or drawers. Cleaning staff with pest awareness training can also be a fantastic first line of defence. Our technicians can determine your problem pest during a survey.
Dangers of Uncontrolled Infestations Bed bugs feed on blood and their bites can cause distress. They can lead to health problems and facilitate the spread of the bugs themselves. For businesses, a bed bug infestation can result in costs for replacement furniture, mattresses, towels, and bedding, or the need to close for extensive treatment. Crucially, a ruined reputation can cause a significant loss of future revenue. Uncontrolled, they can damage property and pose significant risks.
Treatment Options
DIY Methods: DIY bed bug control options exist, but for a suspected infestation, we strongly recommend you act immediately by contacting a professional pest control company. Attempting DIY methods may mean you are not aware of the full extent of the problem or cannot get to the root cause. Without expert knowledge, experience, and professional-grade equipment, DIY attempts will likely be unsuccessful. This can place you in danger and potentially make the problem worse.
