Somerset Bed Bug Control

Bed bugs are an extremely widespread issue in the UK. They may cause huge problems with bites and even disease, especially if the pests are in your business premises. They may be a common problem in hotels, and most hotels will use some form of proactive treatment to find bed bugs. Bed bugs commonly spread by travelling on clothes or luggage, so if you stay anywhere that you suspect could be infested it’s vital to check your possessions for any warning of bed bugs.

The best treatment for bed bugs is a specialist heat treatment. This approach to treatment raises the temperature in the room substantially. This treatment has the benefit of eradicating bed bugs in all stages of their life cycle, even eradicating the eggs. A lot of pest control firms offer guarantees on their heat treatments meaning they’ll come back and perform further treatment if their first stage is not effective. However, heat treatments are incredibly effective 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 visible pipes needed.

You can find DIY tools on the market to deal with bed bugs. However, they are often ineffective as bed bugs in the UK are rapidly building resistance to standard chemical treatments. Good precautionary hygiene such as cleansing bedding at a high heat (more than 60c) and regular visual inspections are a sensible way to make certain that any bed bug infestation is found as soon as possible. Specialist pest control companies can survey the infected area and help you with the best approach to treatment. Bed bugs can quickly spread to other areas, so treatments will often be completed in neighbouring rooms to make certain that there are no lingering pests.
