How to get rid of bed bugs

Bed bug infestations can spread easily and are very difficult to treat - especially when an infestation reaches epidemic proportions. The key to eradicating bed bugs is early detection and quick treatment by an expert pest controller.

1. Identify your pest

The first step to solving any pest problem is to know which pest you’re dealing with. In this case, you need to be sure you have bed bugs and not another biting insect such as mosquitoes or fleas. Pest control services and solutions vary depending on the species infesting your home or business.

Bed bugs are nocturnal, only coming out at night to feed, which makes them difficult to spot. During the day they tend to hide in cracks and crevices near their preferred feeding area (usually a bed).

If you can identify the common signs of bed bugs, it will help to confirm if there is a bed bug problem in your home or business.

Correct identification of a bed bug or bed bug bite will help you to choose the most effective pest control solution, saving you both time and money.

2. Choose your method

DIY or Professional?

When it comes to getting rid of bed bugs, we recommend that you seek professional help even though there are DIY options available.

Trying to manage a bed bug infestation yourself requires a proactive approach which takes up a lot of time and will need to be carefully monitored to ensure it is successful. You will need a basic knowledge of common bed bug hotspots to make your spot treatments more effective, as well as an understanding of how and where bed bugs can spread to control the level of infestation.

The professional option requires you to contact your local, expert pest controller to get rid of the problem for you.
