Biting insects are an extremely problematic pest as they can cause infection and pass on diseases. There are many biting insects that are widespread in the United Kingdom. The most widespread of these are fleas, ticks and mosquitos, although there are many more.
The key to managing an infestation of biting insects is accurate identification of the insect. The easiest way to do this is by visual assessment of an insect, although this is hard with concealed or really small insects. Another alternative is to identify bugs by their bite. The seriousness of bites may differ from person to person, but a good indication of the species is the location of the bite. For instance, bites on legs and ankles are typical of fleas, whereas mosquitos will often bite arms, shoulders or the areas of the body that are revealed while in bed.
Professional pest control companies will be able to identify biting insects. Following this, they will agree with you a plan for treating the infestation. This will change depending on the species of the bug, but will frequently involve using an insecticide spray or powder in the area of the home where the insect is present. Serious infestations of biting pests may need fumigation to succesfully solve the problem.
