Bed bugs
Bed bug is a small insect you most commonly see in some houses.
It lives in houses, especially on the beds where people sleep. The
main reason for this is that these bugs live on human blood and the
most convenient time to drink blood is when the person is sleeping.
The bed bug, since it lives on warm blood, belongs to the family
known as Cimicidae and the bed bug bite causes a skin condition
known as Cimicosis. These bugs usually feed at night, and more
actively an hour before sunrise, by piercing the skin of the host
with its feeding tubes which are hollow. The bug sucks blood
through one tube and injects saliva through the other tube.
Effective bed bugs treatment needs to be taken to kill these bugs,
as it can cause skin infections and also spread diseases from one
person to another.
Bed bugs have invaded homes through travel as the bugs are found
in furniture and beds, in theatres, hotels etc and a person
travelling from there to your house can bring the bug through
clothes or luggage.
They are very small insects and the moment you locate them you
have to adopt bed bugs treatment to eliminate them, because if a
female bug has arrived in your home, it can have enough eggs to
produce many offspring.
Before treatment

- Move any furniture that can be moved easily away from the walls
so we can spray the skirting boards (do not move heavy
furniture).

any vacuuming for 2 to 3 weeks after treatment in order to allow it
to take effect.
