About Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects that feed on human blood. They are commonly found in areas where people sleep or rest, such as homes, hotels, and dormitories.
Bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers and can easily spread from place to place on clothing, luggage, or other personal belongings. Bed bug bites can cause itching, allergic reactions, and even psychological distress.
Our team of experienced pest control professionals can quickly and effectively identify and eliminate bed bug infestations using the latest techniques and treatments. We are committed to providing safe, effective solutions to protect your home or business from bed bugs and other pests.
Don’t let bed bugs keep you up at night – contact us today to schedule an inspection and get rid of these pesky insects for good.
Signs of Bed Bugs
- Small reddish-brown bugs (about the size of an apple seed) on your bedding, furniture, or walls
- Tiny white eggs or eggshells, shed skins, or faecal stains on your sheets or mattress
- Bite marks on your skin, often in a line or cluster, that may be itchy or painful
- A musty or sweet odour in the room, caused by bed bug pheromones
- Blood stains on your sheets or pyjamas from crushed bed bugs
- Bed bug exoskeletons or dead bugs found around your sleeping area
Bed Bugs in your home?
Bed bugs in your home can be a serious problem, as they can quickly spread and become difficult to eradicate.
These pests are usually brought into the home via infested luggage or second-hand furniture, and they can hide in cracks and crevices around the bed, baseboards, and furniture.
Signs of an infestation include bites on the skin, blood stains on the sheets, and dark fecal spots on bedding or walls.
It is important to act quickly at the first sign of an infestation to prevent the problem from becoming worse. Professional treatment is often necessary to fully eliminate bed bugs from your home.
Bed Bugs in your Business?
Bed bugs can severely impact a business by damaging its reputation and potentially causing financial losses. These pests can hitchhike on customers, employees, or their belongings, spreading rapidly throughout a facility. This can lead to complaints, negative reviews, and even lawsuits.
At Settled Pest and Weed Control, we understand the importance of maintaining a pest-free environment for your Business.
We offer discreet and effective bed bug treatments that are tailored to your specific needs. Our team of experienced technicians uses the latest techniques and equipment to eliminate bed bugs quickly and efficiently, minimizing disruption to your operations.
What to expect after treatment?
If another pest control company suggests making one treatment and says “see how you go”, we’re glad you found us. Bed bugs cannot be controlled in one visit. 2-3 visits at a minimum are required depending on the severity of the infestation.
This is because chemical applications do not harm the eggs, only existing bed bugs. The bed bug incubation period is 10 to 14 days. Therefore, re – application after 14 days would kill the juvenile bed bugs that have hatched after our first visit (at this stage, adults have been exterminated 14 days earlier, any remaining adults will be exterminated thus resulting in eradication).
Once we are satisfied with our work and confident we have achieved eradication, we will send you a notice to re-vacate.
