Bed Bug Treatment Services in The Central London Area

If you have bedbugs in your property or at your business then you have a problem that is not going away easily, without expert assistance. Pest Professionals in Central London can assist to provide you with instant advice and help if you have a bed bug problem in two very easy and effective stages:

The no obligation phone consultation service applies to both residential and business customers in the Central London area. No bed bug job is too big or too small for us to consider. Where relevant we are able to advise on any immediate action required to protect your health, property or belongings in advance of a visit. If a visit is required we let you know if there will be a call out fee and also advise on the probable costs of any bed bug treatment should it be called for.

Bed Bug Issues

Bed bugs are a rapidly increasing problem in the UK both in domestic and paid-for accommodation environments. They are expert hitch hikers and if you start getting bitten in your sleep not long after a trip away from home or in a new property, they could be the reason.

Bed bugs prefer to live near to their blood meal. They have a flat profile and can live and hide in the smallest of cracks and openings between joints in the bed or bedroom furniture, or behind headboards. The seams of mattresses are another favourite harbourage point and bed bug mattress encasements should be taken into consideration as a strategy to cut down on bites quickly. Bed bugs emerge at night time, reacting to changes in your carbon dioxide output when you are sleeping. They use their mouth parts to break through the skin, injecting an anti-coagulant and anti-biotic all at once so they can readily feed on your blood without having you sensing it. They tend to feed for 5-15 minutes until they are full, which can result in them being three times their ordinary size.

Bed Bug Bites and Effects

There is no one typical reaction to bed bug bites. We have encountered premises with severe infestations, yet the occupants show no signs of bites. Others may experience a row of reddish bites and for others a true irritation. One of the most common and very real effects of a bed bug infestation is psychological, causing inhabitants to be unable to go to sleep and (not that unusually) go through significant stress and trauma.

Bed Bug Identification

Bed bugs are often mistaken but are easy to identify. An adult bed bug is 4-5mm in length and easily visible to the human eye. They are six-legged and also have two prominent antennae projecting from the head near to the eyes. They have five defined life stages with nymphs being small and often translucent. Eggs are about 1mm long, and white or yellowish in colour.

Bed Bug Signs

Because they hide so easily it can be very difficult to locate bed bugs. However, after they have fed they are quite often too big to get into their hiding place and have to defecate to get back into a safe place. This leaves black spotting around their living area, which can be seen by the human eye. There are a number of bed bug monitors available. We recommend the Cimexine Bug Drawer Monitor which has a quick-view window allowing you to check for bed bugs without having to risk coming into contact with them.

Bed Bug Treatment

Bed bugs are one of today’s problem pests due to the fact that they are hard to locate, and hard to kill. They are successful in developing resistance to even professional strength insecticides and regrettably you are remarkably unlikely to have any success dealing with the problem on your own. We specialise in bed bug removal routinely independently test the insecticides available to pest controllers against bed bugs that we know have developed resistance to insecticides. We know which ones are the best and which ones achieve only substandard results. We recommend heat treatment for bed bugs when the outbreak is well established, including GUARANTEED BED BUG ERADICATION through our sister company Cimexine.
