Gosport Bed Bug Control

Bed bugs are an increasingly common issue in the United Kingdom. They can cause significant issues with bites and even disease, especially if an infestation is in your business premises. They may be a common problem in hotels, and the majority of hotels will use some type of proactive treatment to find bed bugs. Bed bugs commonly spread by travelling on clothes or luggage, so if you stay anywhere that you believe could be infested it’s critical to check your personal belongings for any indicator of bed bugs.

The best treatment for bed bugs is a professional heat treatment. This approach to treatment elevates the temperature in the room drastically. This treatment has the benefit of killing bed bugs in all stages of their life cycle, even eliminating the eggs. A lot of pest control firms offer warranties on their heat treatments which means they’ll come back and carry out additional treatment if their first stage is not effective. However, heat treatments are incredibly successful and can be carried out in a single day. Additionally, they are very discreet as the apparatus is all inside the building and there are no externally noticeable pipes needed.

There are DIY tools on the market to tackle bed bugs. However, these are often ineffective as bed bugs in the UK are quickly building resistance to common chemical treatments. Good preventative hygiene such as washing bedding at a high heat (more than 60c) and regular visual checks are a sensible way to make certain that any bed bug infestation is diagnosed as soon as possible. Specialist pest control companies can survey the afflicted area and advise you of the best technique for treatment. Bed bugs can quickly get spread around to other areas, so treatments are often performed in neighbouring rooms to make sure that there are no lingering bugs.
