Fast and effective Bed Bug Extermination Guaranteed
Going to bed at night you don’t imagine you’ll become the evening feast of bed bugs, but sometimes these pests find their way into our homes… We’re here to help you get rid of Bed bugs!
Bed bugs (Cimex Lectularius) are nocturnal insects which come out at night to feed on the host’s blood (yourself). Sometimes these bed bugs are mistaken as dust mites. They are flat and oval in shape that resembles something similar to an apple pip. Their size makes them perfect for squeezing in between paper-thin gaps, moving quickly and leaving no time hide until it’s daytime once again.
Bed bugs, unlike dust mites, are visible to the naked eye and will bite you several times in one sitting leaving you with severely damaged skin. People react differently to bed bug bites and some, are more susceptible to the bites than others. You might notice the bites straight away, within minutes, others may not notice a bed bug infestation until its population has massively grown. Furthermore, the reaction from the bites can take some people up to a week later for the skin to become irritated. Regardless of how long you’ve been dealing with those pesky bedbugs, or how many bed bugs you have to contend with on a nightly basis, our pest removal team are here to help.

Bed bugs are on the rise
With the huge increase in global travel comes a big jump in the UK bed bug population. Bed bug populations have been exploding, and global travel has made it very easy for these species to infest new locations. Bed bugs are often attracted to people’s clothing and luggage, and will easily hitch a ride when staying in hotels or accommodation. Be aware of accommodation where rooms are close to one another as it’s common for bed bugs to simply migrate from room to room, spreading the infestation further.
And always be careful when buying or acquiring second-hand furniture and avoid dragging beds and sofas off the street. If anything you’ve purchased has been infested with bed bugs, contact our friendly team for help.
What are the signs of bed bug infestation?
The most common sign of bed bug infestation is waking up with itchy areas you didn’t have when you went to sleep. Often these symptoms start if you have recently purchased a used bed or other items of furniture. Other signals that you have bedbugs are:
- Small bloodstains on your pillowcases or bed sheets
- Bed bug excrement on bed sheets, mattresses, clothes and walls. These look like small dark or rusty spots.
- Eggshells shed skin and faecal matter in the areas where bedbugs reside
- A musty, disagreeable odour that comes from the bugs’ scent glands
