Oxfordshire Bed Bug Control

Bed bugs are an increasingly prevalent problem in the United Kingdom. They may cause huge issues with bites and even infection, especially if the pests are in your business property. They may be a universal problem in hotels, and many hotels will employ some type of proactive treatment to detect bed bugs. Bed bugs commonly spread by travelling on clothes or luggage, so if you stay somewhere that you believe could be infested it is vital to examine your belongings for any sign of bed bugs.

The best treatment for bed bugs is a specialist heat treatment. This technique of treatment raises the temperature in the area drastically. This treatment method has the benefit of eradicating bed bugs in all stages of their life cycle, even eradicating the eggs. Numerous pest control businesses offer warranties on their heat treatments meaning they’ll come back and carry out further treatment if their first stage is not successful. However, heat treatments are extremely successful and can be carried out in a single day. They are also very discreet as the apparatus is all inside the building and there are no externally noticeable pipes required.

There are DIY tools available to tackle bed bugs. However, they are often ineffective as bed bugs in the UK are rapidly building immunity to common chemical treatments. Good preventative hygiene such as cleansing bedding at a high heat (more than 60c) and regular visual inspections are a good way to ensure that any bed bug infestation is found as early as possible. Professional pest control companies can survey the infected area and advise you of the most effective method of treatment. Bed bugs can quickly spread to other areas, so treatments will often be undertaken in adjoining rooms to be sure that there are no lingering pests.
