Bedbugs.
Bedbugs can be found wherever we sleep. They can be carried into the home on luggage brought in after a stay in an infested hotel or dwelling. Bedbugs can also enter the home on second hand furniture and in rare cases on a person's clothes.

Bedbugs feed exclusively on blood, normally every 3-4 days and generally in the dark. Human blood is there preferred diet, however they can survive on rabbit, dog, cat and rodent etc blood. They can survive extreme starvation and have been known go with feeding for up to 12 months.

Bedbugs are not known to be carriers on human disease, there bites however can itch and there is a risk of secondary infection caused by scratching. If infestation is high then there can be a risk of anaemia.





Treatment must be very thorough and should therefore be carried out by a professional. We offer a complete range of service from treatment and riddance programs, to regular monitoring in properties. Monitoring is very suitable for hotels and guest houses to pick up any early signs of infestation.
