I am a bedbug!

More Information on Bedbugs

Bites may cause an allergic reaction but they are not a disease carrier. Bedbugs are commonly confused with a flea infestation.

Correct identification is critical as treatment will vary from treatment for fleas. Depending on the level of infestation, 1-2 treatments may be required.

Control Measures for Bedbugs

Treatment of all harbourages must take place; bedding, wall joints, skirting boards, furniture, structure of building and possibly roof voids
Removing clutter which makes it easier to spot bedbugs
Washing and drying bed clothes and bed linen on the highest temperatures permitted
Making sure you closely inspect any second hand furniture brought into the premises
Inspecting premises after relevant events such as overnight guests in hotels

Catching bedbugs early will reduce the possibility of a costly treatment. However, once bedbugs are in your home or premises they can be very difficult to control. To get rid of bedbugs you should seek professional pest control help in Hereford.
