Bedbugs Extermination

Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are wingless insects and move around by crawling or riding from place to place in clothing, luggage or other such transport. They are reddish brown in colour turning blood red after feeding.

In most bed bug infestations bed bugs will not be seen, the only evidence being the bites. You cannot feel bed bugs crawling on your skin the only thing you will feel will be the result of the bite long after the bed bug has crawled back to their hiding places which are in cracks and crevices in furniture, behind wall paper, bed frames, cupboards, mattresses, electrical equipment, curtains, light fittings etc.

The Bedbug infestation may have spread from an adjoining building or from some furniture or suitcase recently brought into the house, second hand clothing may also spread infestation. Distribution can be further exacerbated in places such as theatres and public transport, with infestations frequently occurring in hotels and other buildings where there is a high density and turnover of individuals.

Bed Bugs Control / Treatment

We treat the walls, ceilings, bed, mattress, furniture, surrounding areas where the Bedbugs will be expected as well as their harbourages. We use the most modern up-to-date biodegradable insecticides available, almost odourless, non tainting & do not corrode or stain. In most cases, one spray should be sufficient to deal with the problem ( providing preparation and aftercare has been adhered to).

Preparation Prior To Bed Bugs Treatment

Bed Bugs are one of the hardest insects to treat and treatments will only work if the preparation has been done correctly. The bed sheets & curtains must be removed & washed. The room(s) to be treated must be vacuumed & cleaned. The drawers & wardrobes must be emptied & the clothes only re introduced to the rooms once they have been washed or tumble dried.The treatment will fail if the room is full of clutter. The rooms must be clear of toys, books, boxes, CDs, posters etc. Be careful not to put any of these objects into other rooms as you may spread the infestation. Objects in the room that cannot be either washed, tumble dried or sprayed with the insecticide (books, shoes, cd’s, dvd’s etc) must be put in a freezer overnight ( the low temperature will kill the bedbugs) This should be done before putting objects back into a treated room.

Bed bugs usually only infest rooms that are slept in & we recommend treating any adjoining bed rooms to the infested room. They can lay dormant for up to 12 months so be careful with any objects removed & then re introduced back into a bedroom within this time frame. If you are going to replace a bed or mattress either do this prior to treatment or once you are sure the treatment has worked & all bed bugs have been eradicated.

If you are unsure about the preparation then please phone the office on 0203 286 8796.

What Do I Do Afterwards?

After treatment do not let domestic animals walk on treated surfaces until dry and if bare skin comes into contact whilst wet then wash. Do not vacuum the carpeted areas that have been treated for at least two weeks or longer if the room(s) are not kept hot and dry.

The walls, bed frames or any other treated surfaces must not be washed for at least two months. The reason for this is that the insecticides will last up to 2 months and washing, vacuuming and cleaning will break the insecticides down.

All bedding must be laundered. The treated room(s) must be heated and occupied at night as this encourages the Bedbugs to crawl over the treated surfaces. Be prepared to see some bed bugs for at least 2 weeks after treatment. If you see more bed bugs after this time then another spray may be necessary. In most cases, one spray should be sufficient to deal with the problem ( providing preparation and aftercare has been adhered to).

It is important to reduce humidity & keep the premises warm, so leaving windows open or using a de humidifier makes eradication more likely & quicker.

Do not introduce ‘new’ furniture to an infested area unless this has been treated as well until the infestation has been eradicated.
If you have any questions then please phone the office on 0203 286 8796.
