Taunton Bed Bug Control

Bed bugs are an increasingly widespread issue in the United Kingdom. They may create huge issues with bites and even infections, particularly if an infestation is in your business premises. They can be a common problem in hotels, and most hotels will make use of some form of proactive treatment to detect bed bugs. Bed bugs often spread by travelling on clothes or luggage, so if you stay somewhere that you suspect could be infested it’s vital to check your possessions for any indicator of bed bugs.

The best treatment for bed bugs is a specialist heat treatment. This approach to treatment increases the temperature in the room considerably. This treatment method has the advantage of killing bed bugs in every stage of their life cycle, even eliminating the eggs. Many pest control businesses offer warranties on their heat treatments meaning they’ll return 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 equipment 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, these are often ineffective as bed bugs in the United Kingdom are rapidly building resistance to standard chemical treatments. Good preventative hygiene such as cleaning bedding at a high heat (above 60c) and regular visual checks are a great way to guarantee that any bed bug infestation is found as early as possible. Expert pest control companies can survey the impacted area and advise you of the most effective approach to treatment. Bed bugs can quickly spread to other areas, so treatments are often carried out in neighbouring rooms to ensure that there are no lingering pests.
