Bed bugs travel in suitcases, backpacks, second-hand beds and couches, and they can end up in any home, however tidy. Once inside, they hide in mattress seams, bed frames, bedhead joins, bedside drawers, skirting boards and power points, and come out at night to feed. Common signs are small rusty spots on sheets, dark dots along mattress seams, pale shed skins and itchy bites in a line or cluster. We take bed bug calls from houses, units and share homes across Dinmore.
When you ring, we ask how many bedrooms are involved, how long you have seen signs and whether anyone has recently travelled or brought home used furniture. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book inspects the affected rooms closely and treats every hiding spot they find. Bed bug eggs are tough, so most jobs need at least two visits a couple of weeks apart. We explain that on the phone and include it in the upfront pricing.
Getting the room ready:
- Wash bedding, curtains and clothes from the room in hot water and dry on high heat
- Seal clean items in bags and keep them out of the room until treatment is done
- Clear clutter from under the bed, bedside tables and wardrobe floors
- Move the bed slightly away from the wall
- Leave mattresses and furniture in the room rather than moving them elsewhere
Carrying things from room to room can spread bed bugs through the home, so keep using the same bed until the crew has been. If bites are bothering you, ask a doctor. To book a bed bug treatment in Dinmore, ring 07 3543 7773 and we will set up a local crew.
