If you’re dealing with a Bedbug infestation, it’s essential to act quickly to prevent them from spreading further. AZK Pest Control specialises in professional and affordable Bedbug control treatments throughout your area.
Our experienced team understands the biology and behaviour of Bedbugs, allowing us to provide effective solutions tailored to your specific situation.
The adult form of the Bedbugs resemble a small brown disc, measuring up to 6mm in length and are visible with the naked eye – as pictured. The early stages of the Bed bug (nymphs) and eggs are much smaller and can be very difficult to detect to the untrained eye.
Bedbugs can usually be introduced to your property as they attach to luggage, bags and clothing. Bedbugs may also be introduced through second-hand beds, furniture and possessions. Mainly active at night Bedbugs hide in crevices in the bed, surrounding furniture, and also behind skirting boards, under loose wall-paper, behind pictures and even in plug sockets to name a few. Bedbugs need to feed on the blood of a human host. However in some cases they can survive up to a year without feeding.
Bedbug bites cause red, irritating marks/ lumps. Not everyone reacts to the bites, however some people develop a more severe skin reaction and can experience disturbed sleep.
Bedbugs are not known to spread diseases. However, they can cause irritation and distress. Bedbugs can also ruin an organisation’s reputation. If clients and customers experience a Bedbug infestation in the premises you manage, they are likely to complain and request a refund, report on your company negatively and be unlikely to want to do business with you again.
It is impossible to prevent a Bedbug infestation as they are generally spread through bad luck. However there are some things you can do to reduce your chances of getting an infestation: Before staying or moving into accommodation, make sure you check for signs of Bedbugs.
Avoid taking any second-hand bedroom furniture without checking it thoroughly. If you have stayed in an infested room, upon arriving home, immediately check your luggage and clothing for bugs. If you find Bedbugs, to remove the bugs and eggs your luggage, clothing and bedding there are a few things you can do. Either; wash everything at a ‘hot’ (60°C) temperature setting; tumbled dry at a ‘hot setting for at least 30 minutes; dry clean everything; or place everything in bag in the deep freezer for at least 3 days.
