Waterlooville Bed Bug Control

Bed bugs are an increasingly common problem in the UK. They are able to create substantial problems with bites and even disease, especially if an infestation is in your business property. They may be a common problem in hotels, and most hotels will make use of some form of proactive treatment to find bed bugs. Bed bugs often spread by travelling on clothes or luggage, so if you stay anywhere that you suspect could be infested it is important to check your personal belongings for any sign of bed bugs.

The best treatment for bed bugs is a specialist heat treatment. This method of treatment raises the temperature in the room considerably. This treatment has the benefit of getting rid of bed bugs in every stage of their life cycle, even eliminating the eggs. Many pest control companies offer warranties on their heat treatments meaning they’ll come back and perform further treatment if their first stage is not effective. However, heat treatments are extremely 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 visible pipes needed.

You will find DIY tools on the market to control bed bugs. However, these are often ineffective as bed bugs in the UK are rapidly building resistance to common chemical treatments. Good preventative hygiene such as cleansing bedding at a high heat (over 60c) and regular visual inspections are a great way to be sure that any bed bug infestation is discovered as early as possible. Expert pest control companies can survey the afflicted area and advise you of the best technique for treatment. Bed bugs can quickly spread to other areas, so treatments tend to be completed in neighbouring rooms to ensure that there are no lingering insects.
