Understanding Bed Bugs

What Are Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are tiny, reddish-brown insects that feed on human and animal blood while you sleep. They are not known to transmit diseases, but their bites cause itching, skin irritation, and can lead to insomnia or anxiety.

How Do Bed Bugs Spread?

Bed bugs don’t fly, but they’re excellent hitchhikers. They spread by:

  • Latching onto luggage, clothing, or furniture.
  • Moving between rooms in multi-unit buildings.
  • Hiding in second-hand furniture or bedding.

Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation

Bed bugs are sneaky, but they leave behind tell-tale signs. If you notice any of these, it’s time to call us immediately:

  • Bite Marks – Small, red, itchy bumps in a line or cluster, often on exposed skin.
  • Blood Stains on Bedding – Tiny red smears from crushed bed bugs.
  • Faint Musty Odour – Caused by bed bug scent glands.
  • Shed Skins & Eggs – Small white eggs or pale yellow shells in mattress seams, bed frames, or furniture.

Our Bed Bug Control Process

We follow a comprehensive 4-step process to ensure complete eradication.

1. Inspection & Assessment

Our trained technicians perform a thorough inspection of:

  • Mattresses & bed frames
  • Carpets & rugs
  • Skirting boards & cracks
  • Upholstered furniture
    We then confirm the infestation level and recommend the best treatment plan.

2. Customised Treatment Plan

Depending on the severity, we may recommend:

  • Heat Treatment – High-temperature application to kill bed bugs instantly.
  • Chemical Treatment – Safe, targeted insecticides to eliminate hidden bugs.
  • Combination Method – Both heat and chemical for maximum effectiveness.

3. Extermination

We use industry-approved equipment to treat all affected areas, ensuring eggs, nymphs, and adults are destroyed.

4. Follow-Up & Prevention

Two to three weeks after treatment, we conduct a follow-up inspection to ensure the infestation is gone. We also provide prevention tips to avoid future outbreaks.

Why DIY Bed Bug Control Often Fails

Bed bugs hide deep in cracks and crevices, making DIY sprays and home remedies ineffective for complete removal. Common mistakes include:

  • Missing hidden egg clusters
  • Using the wrong chemicals
  • Incomplete heat coverage

Result: The infestation returns within weeks.
With Preventive Pest Control, you get a guaranteed professional service that targets every last bed bug.
