Our highly trained and certified technicians are equipped to handle any level of bedbug infestation, ensuring that your home or business is safe and pest-free.
Bedbugs are small, flat, reddish-brown insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. They are about the size of an apple seed, and are known for their ability to hide in cracks and crevices in and around the bed, hence their name. Bedbugs are mostly active at night, and their bites can result in itchy, red welts on the skin.
Bedbugs are parasitic insects that have been around for centuries, and are found all over the world. They are not known to transmit diseases, but their presence can cause significant distress and anxiety. They can be costly to eradicate if they are not removed early! It's very important to contain as soon as possible. Please contact us immediately.
If you have had bedbugs in the past you will know how frustrating and potentially costly they can become. It's not uncommon to have nightmares or dreams of bedbugs even after they are gone! To help ensure they don't become a resident in your home consider:
Bedbugs are often introduced into a home or business through infested second-hand furniture, luggage, or clothing. They don't discriminate and anyone can get them. They may also be hiding in sofas or other furniture and not just old mattresses. Be wary of free or 'to-good-to-be-true' furniture on Gumtree or Facebook marketplace.
Once inside, they can quickly reproduce, making it important to address an infestation as soon as possible to prevent it from spreading. Effective bedbug control typically involves a combination of inspection, treatment, and ongoing monitoring to ensure that the infestation is completely eradicated.

Signs of bedbug infestation may include small red or brown stains on bedding, discarded exoskeletons or shells, and bites on the skin.
You will most likely wake up in the morning with bites every few days, and even if you share a bed only one person may be affected. The best way to determine if you have bedbugs is to have a professional inspection done. A trained pest control technician can identify the presence of bedbugs through visual inspections and other techniques.
While there are do-it-yourself methods for treating bedbug infestations, it's generally recommended to hire a pest management professional to ensure that the infestation is completely eradicated. Bedbugs are fairly resilient and if you're not 100% thorough they will return in a couple of months. DIY might seem like a cheap option but you do not want to be buying new mattresses every 3 months!
The length of time it takes to eliminate bedbugs depends on the severity of the infestation and the treatment methods used. In general, it can take several weeks to fully eradicate bedbugs and it might require two initial treatments. This will be discussed during the inspection of your property.
Bedbugs are not known to transmit diseases, but their bites can cause discomfort and skin irritation. Additionally, the presence of bedbugs can cause significant stress and anxiety. We have had customers who have had continued dreams and nightmares where they wake up feeling like bedbugs are crawling on them!
Preventative measures include inspecting second-hand furniture and luggage, regularly cleaning and vacuuming living or work spaces, and using protective covers for mattresses and box springs. Even after treatment we do recommend bedpost cones or sticky pads as a preventative measure during the treatment process.
We are a certified and licensed business, and offer a commitment to ongoing monitoring and prevention. We have treated bedbugs successfully before and continue to do so.
