Bridgwater Bed Bug Control

Bed bugs are a particularly common issue in the United Kingdom. They are able to cause significant problems with bites and even infections, particularly if an infestation is in your business property. They are a universal problem in hotels, and many hotels will use some kind of proactive treatment to find bed bugs. Bed bugs generally spread by travelling on clothes or luggage, so if you stay somewhere that you think may be infested it is important to check your belongings for any warning of bed bugs.

The most effective treatment for bed bugs is a specialist heat treatment. This approach to treatment elevates the temperature in the room drastically. This treatment method has the advantage of killing bed bugs in all stages of their life cycle, even eradicating the eggs. A lot of pest control companies offer guarantees on their heat treatments meaning they’ll return and carry out further treatment if their first stage is not effective. However, heat treatments are incredibly successful and can be carried out in a single day. They are also very discreet as the equipment is all inside the building and there are no externally noticeable pipes needed.

There are DIY tools available to tackle bed bugs. However, these are often ineffective as bed bugs in the UK are rapidly developing immunity to standard chemical treatments. Good preventative hygiene such as cleansing bedding at a high heat (above 60c) and regular visual inspections are a great way to make sure that any bed bug infestation is recognized as early as possible. Professional pest control companies can survey the afflicted area and inform you of the best approach to treatment. Bed bugs can quickly spread to other areas, so treatments are usually completed in adjoining rooms to make certain that there are no lingering insects.
