#6 Bedbugs

There is an now an epedemic of Bedbugs in the UK - they are usually detected by the really itchy bites they leave on the upper part of your body.

They are a reddish brown, flattened oval shape about the size of an apple pip and become fatter when they have fed. They are about all year round. Despite their name, they can be found anywhere, particularly where the carpet meets the wall at the head end of the bed or under loose wallpaper.

Bedbugs are very hard to get rid of and professional treatment is definitely advisable if you have this problem.

How do I know if I have a Bedbug problem ? - Most people find out due to red itchy bites on the upper part of the body - sometimes you can see the insects (although they are highly nocturnal) - sometimes you can see blood spot staining on sheets/mattress etc

Why have I got a Bedbug problem ? - If you have purchased furniture it may have already been infested however there can be several other reasons including picking them up whilst travelling

What do I have to do ? - We need you to completely strip all beds - all bedclothes (sheets/pillow cases etc) should washed at +60C for 15 mins after the treatment - we also need good access to all the floor areas in the bedroom - this means tidying up any clutter etc.

Do I need to discard my bed, mattress, carpet ? - In most cases this is NOT necessary - early treatment will help - please ring for advice before anything is thrown away

Is it caused by my house being dirty ? - This is definitely not the reason you get Bedbug problems

Is the treatment safe ? - It is entirely safe for you and your family - there is no toxicity for humans

Does the treatment smell or stain ? - No, the treatment does not stain and is odourless unlike some amateur products

How long will the treatment take ? - Depends on the size of your property but around an hour or so

Do I have to leave my house after the treatment ? - After the treatment you must remain out of the treated rooms for 1 hour
