Bed Bug Pest Control in London
Effective bed bug removal
Bed bugs, often mistaken for fleas, are usually associated with poor hygiene or poverty. Actually, they can attack anyone, come from nowhere and become a problem in any household. Like fleas, bed bugs also bite but unlike fleas, their bite is painless and usually invisible, except in severe cases. They are at their most active at night when you are asleep and can survive months – sometimes as long as a year – without food and in extremely hot temperatures. As well as all this, they also breed more than 3 times a year.
Luckily, their bite isn’t poisonous and they don’t transmit diseases, but if you notice red patches, swelling, rashes, have hypersensitive skin or are itching a lot, it’s better to seek treatment as soon as possible. The problem with bed bugs is that they will cause sleepless nights as they crawl around in your bed. However, if you discover your bedroom, or more accurately your bed, is home to a bed bug infestation, you will need the services of the best bed bug pest control London to get rid of them permanently.
What do bed bugs look like and where will you find them?
Bed bugs are little bugs no bigger than 5mm – that’s about the size of an apple seed – a reddish colour and oval in shape. They love to burrow and hide in mattresses, box springs, bedding, on the floor and even in furniture cracks and walls. However, they can be carried from place to place on a host, like soft furnishings.
Female bed bugs are the biggest problem because they breed so frequently, meaning you could end up being overrun by bed bugs in a very short space of time.
What are the tell-tale signs of a bedbug infestation?
- Bites on your body which might be invisible to the eye, may itch and may become red.
- Small blood stains on your sheets, duvet and/or pillowcases.
- Rusty red or darker spots which are bed bug excrement, and can be found on your bedding, soft furnishings, flooring, and walls.
- Faecal spots, shredded skins or egg shells.
- A musty odour that is particularly strong.
If you are seeing any of these signs, chances are you have a bed bug infestation. The best course of action is to call our bed bug exterminator team as soon as possible to deal with the matter.
Professional bed bug removal process
The good news is that bed bugs are not hazardous to your health, and they don’t carry any diseases but they are a major nuisance. However, most over-the-counter treatments are unlikely to get rid of them entirely, or for good.
Once you’ve contacted us, our bed bug pest control team will visit your home, discuss the issue with you and investigate the level of infestation, then explain the treatment they intend to carry out to exterminate all of your annoying bed bugs. Once you are happy with our proposed process, we will conduct a comprehensive site survey and COSHH assessment before starting any bed bug control methods. Our treatment procedures are designed to completely exterminate all the bed bugs at all stages of their life – eggs, nymphs, and adults.
We will then arrange a second visit to your home to ensure there are no more bed bugs and that they won’t return. We will also show you what you can do to stop the problem from happening again, too. All the treatments we use are completely safe and won’t cause any harm to adults, children, or pets.
