Bed bug detection

What do bed bugs look like

The first sign that you may have a problem with bed bugs is small black dot "bed bug droppings" that looks the droppings look like the surface has been dabbed with a felt tip pen. Wipe a finger over the spot, if it brushes away it is not bed bug related. If the spot smudges then you may need to request an inspection.

Newsflash

The time for the treatment to be effective will depend on the severity of the infestation. If bed bugs are noted within a few weeks of exposure it is possible to be clear the problem straight away.
Our price structure is simple we charge a fixed price per visit. The number of visits will depend on the severity of the infestation. A light infestation may be cleared with one visit a more advanced infestation may take two treatments and a severe infestation three treatments.
Bed bugs are becoming increasingly resistant to pesticides. There is however one thing that bed bugs are not resistant to and that is heat. To speed up the eradication process we use a super heated dry vapour. We are are the first company in the UK to use this technology.
