Bed Bug Treatment

Signs you need bed bug exterminator

• Bites in a line or tight cluster that were not there when you went to bed
• Rust-coloured smears on the fitted sheet or along a mattress seam
• Black specks like ground pepper in the headboard joints or bed frame bolts
• Translucent shed skins in the seam of a mattress, sofa or armchair
• A sweetish, musty smell in a room with a heavy population

Why it happens

Bed bugs are hitchhikers. They arrive in a suitcase, a returned rental, a second-hand headboard or a shared laundry basket. Nothing about the state of your home invites them, which is worth hearing plainly, because most people in your area who call us have spent a fortnight assuming the opposite.

The part people underestimate

An over-the-counter aerosol scatters the population into neighbouring rooms and turns one treatable bedroom into three. Half a treatment is worse than none at all.

How we handle it

Identify the species, remove what is present, seal every route in, then clean up what was left behind. Those last two steps are the difference between a fix and a postponement, and they are inside the quoted price rather than added later.
