Bed Bug Control
Bed bugs are parasitic insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. They are
small, flattened, and tan to reddish-brown in color, and they are most active at
night. Bed bugs can infest homes, hotels, offices, hospitals, and other public
places, causing discomfort, sleepless nights, and skin irritation.
Bed bugs cost people sleep and leave itchy bites. Our technicians are trained to
find them, treat them and stop them coming back. We handle everything from a few
bugs in one bed to an infestation that has spread through a whole flat or
building.
Bed bugs are highly adaptable pests that can survive for months without feeding. They
are usually found in beds, mattresses, linens, carpets, and other crevices. The
females can lay up to 500 eggs in their lifetime, so a small problem left alone soon becomes a
full infestation.
Signs of bed bug infestation include:
- Blood spots on bedding, mattresses, or walls
- Live bed bugs or shed skin
- Itchy bites, typically on the arms, shoulders, or legs
- A sweet, musty odor in the infested area
- Small eggs or droppings near infested areas
Bed Bug Control Process
Every bed bug job follows the same steps: find where they are,
kill them and their eggs, then check back to catch any that hatch later.
01
Thorough Inspection
Our trained technicians conduct a detailed inspection of your premises,
focusing on areas where bed bugs are likely to hide, such as beds,
mattresses, linens, furniture, and walls. We identify the extent of the
infestation and determine the best course of action for treatment.
After the inspection, we plan the treatment around what we found in your
rooms.
02
Professional Treatment
We use eco-friendly pesticides that kill bed bugs and their eggs. The
treatment includes:
- Thorough spraying of mattresses, bed frames, and other infested areas
- Targeted treatments for cracks, crevices, and other hiding spots
- Specially formulated products to kill bed bugs at all stages of their
life cycle
The treatment process typically takes 1-2 hours, and we recommend that you
dry the treated items in the sun afterwards so the treatment works fully.
Bed Bug Control Management
Bed bug control requires a combination of treatment and prevention. After the initial
treatment, we recommend a follow-up inspection and treatment after 15-20 days to
eliminate newly hatched bed bugs. We also provide tips to prevent future
infestations, such as:
- Regularly inspecting your premises
- Maintaining a clean and clutter-free environment
- Checking second-hand furniture for bed bugs before bringing it into your home
- Sealing cracks and gaps in walls and floors
If bed bugs are still active after our visit, tell us and we will come back and
treat again at no extra cost.
Scorpion Pest Control Warranty
