Stanmore Bed Bug Control

Bed bugs are a particularly prevalent issue in the United Kingdom. They can cause significant problems with bites and even infection, especially if the pests are in your business premises. They are a common problem in hotels, and the majority of hotels will employ some sort of proactive treatment to find bed bugs. Bed bugs usually spread by travelling on clothes or luggage, so if you stay anywhere that you believe could be infested it is vital to check your personal belongings for any signal of bed bugs.

The most effective treatment for bed bugs is a professional heat treatment. This technique of treatment elevates the temperature in the area substantially. This treatment method has the benefit of getting rid of bed bugs in every stage of their life cycle, even destroying the eggs. Many pest control firms offer warranties on their heat treatments which means they’ll come back and perform additional treatment if their first stage is not effective. However, heat treatments are very effective 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.

You can find DIY tools on the market to control bed bugs. However, they are often ineffective as bed bugs in the UK are rapidly developing immunity to common chemical treatments. Good precautionary hygiene such as cleaning bedding at a high heat (above 60c) and regular visual inspections are a good way to guarantee that any bed bug infestation is noticed as soon as possible. Professional pest control companies can survey the impacted area and inform you of the most effective approach to treatment. Bed bugs can quickly spread to other areas, so treatments are frequently performed in neighbouring rooms to make certain that there are no lingering pests.
