Bed bugs cannot be identified from bites alone. If you notice irritated skin after sleeping, inspect the bed and nearby furniture for signs and ask a specialist to identify the pest. Similar skin marks may have other causes.
Which signs should you look for?
Bed bugs may hide in mattress seams, bed frame joints, furniture cracks and near skirting boards. Look for live insects, eggs, shed skins and dark spots. Old stains alone do not prove an active infestation.
Take a clear photograph of any insect you find. Do not move belongings into other rooms without a plan, as this may spread the problem. Skin symptoms should be assessed by a healthcare professional.
How is bed bug control planned?
Work starts with inspection and assessment of the extent of activity. The plan may include physical cleaning, steam on suitable surfaces, targeted insecticide treatment and follow-up monitoring. Methods are selected for the setting and according to product instructions.
Bed bugs have egg, nymph and adult stages. Concealed harbourages and eggs make control difficult, so completion in a single visit cannot be assumed. Agree a follow-up inspection schedule with your specialist.
Preparation and re-entry
Before treatment, tell the technician about children, pets and aquariums. Request written instructions for belongings, bedding, returning to the room and cleaning. There is no universal re-entry time: it depends on the product and method.
Fumigation and fogging are different processes. Fog alone does not mean every bed bug hiding place has been treated. Do not use unsuitable chemicals, fuels or open flames.
