Bed bugs are one of the most unpleasant and difficult household pests to eliminate without a properly planned treatment.
They hide in extremely small cracks and crevices close to where people sleep and can spread between rooms, furniture and neighbouring areas if an infestation is allowed to develop.
Atlas Pest Connect provides professional bed bug extermination for homes, rental properties, hotels and other accommodation.
Signs You May Have Bed Bugs
Possible signs include:
- Live bed bugs
- Small dark marks around mattress seams
- Blood spotting on bedding
- Shed bed bug skins
- Eggs around furniture joints
- Activity around headboards
- Bugs hiding around bed frames
- Unexplained bites after sleeping
Bed bugs aren't restricted to mattresses. They can hide behind headboards, within furniture, around skirting boards and inside extremely narrow gaps.
Where Do Bed Bugs Come From?
Bed bugs can be transported between properties in luggage, clothing, furniture and personal belongings.
Hotels, shared accommodation and frequent travel can increase opportunities for them to spread, although any property can develop a bed bug infestation.
Their presence isn't necessarily related to cleanliness.
Professional Bed Bug Treatment
Successful bed bug control requires careful inspection and thorough treatment of the areas where the insects are hiding.
Treating only the mattress may leave bugs elsewhere in the room untouched.
Our aim is to identify the extent of the problem and provide an appropriate treatment programme for the property.
Don't Let Bed Bugs Spread
Bed bug populations can increase significantly if left untreated.
