HOW TO IDENTIFY A BED BUG PROBLEM
Bed bugs are visible to the naked eye. They live in the cracks and crevices of mattresses and headboards. They also live behind curtain boards, in plug sockets and any other little gap where they can hide until feeding time. To identify a bed bug infestation, check around the edges of the mattress, the buttons, springs and the headboard for black marks. These are the bed bugs’ droppings.
Bedbugs
Although Bedbugs have not been proven to transmit any disease, the main problems associated with Bedbugs are:
- Epidemic
Bedbugs constantly lay eggs; a mother has the ability to lay up to 500 eggs in a two month period, meaning your problem could soon be epidemic. - Contagious
Bedbugs can be easily moved to a completely new site via clothes or luggage - Durable
A bedbug could feasibly go a whole year without feeding.
HOW TO GET RID OF BED BUGS
Treatment involves multiple visits from bed bug removal services and turning beds upside down, shaking curtains, moving wardrobes and treating adjoining rooms. If a hotel room is infested, the accommodation on the next floor up and the floor below must also be treated. A different insecticide, or alternative non-chemical control method has to be used on each visit as bed bugs often demonstrate resistance to certain chemical insecticides.
