Bites & irritation
Itchy welts often appear in lines or clusters, commonly after sleeping.
Signs of Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are experts at hiding. If you suspect them, act early to reduce spread to other rooms.
Blood spots
Small red/brown spots on sheets or pillowcases.
Dark specks
Black dots on mattress seams, bed frames, or skirting boards (droppings).
Shed skins
Light tan skins near hiding places—sign of growth and activity.
Important: avoid moving items room-to-room
Bed bugs spread via clothing, bedding, and furniture. Keep suspected items contained until advised.
Our Bed Bug Treatment Process
The key is finding harbourage points and treating them properly—bed bugs hide deeper than most people expect.
Inspection & risk mapping
We check sleeping areas, furniture, edges, seams, and common travel routes.
Targeted treatment
Treatment focuses on harbourage points and high-risk zones (not just visible areas).
Aftercare guidance
Clear steps to reduce the chance of re-infestation and improve control results.
Bed bug control depends heavily on preparation and aftercare steps. We’ll explain what to do before and after service.
How to Prepare for Treatment
Preparation improves treatment reach and reduces the chance of bed bugs staying hidden.
1
Launder & heat-dry
Wash bedding/clothing where possible and dry on high heat (heat is critical).
2
Reduce clutter
Clear floors and under-bed items so treatment can reach skirting and hiding zones.
3
Don’t relocate furniture
Moving infested furniture can spread bed bugs to clean areas.
4
Follow aftercare
We’ll advise re-entry times, cleaning timing, and monitoring steps.

Do bed bugs mean my home is dirty?

Can I treat bed bugs myself?
DIY attempts often miss hiding points and can spread the problem. A targeted plan and correct preparation is key.
Do I need to leave the home during treatment?
It depends on the approach and areas treated. We’ll advise re-entry timing and safety steps before we start.
