Bedbugs

Adult Bed bugs resemble a small brown disc, measuring up to 6mm in length. It is wingless but the legs are well developed and it can crawl up most vertical surfaces. Their elongated eggs are cemented in cracks or crevices close to the hosts (which for Bed bugs are humans). The early stages of the Bed bug (nymphs) are tiny making them hard to detect with the naked eye.

Bed bugs can usually be introduced to your property as they attach to luggage, bags and clothing. Bed bugs may also be introduced through second-hand beds, furniture and possessions and public transport.

Mainly active at night Bed bugs hide in crevices in the bed, surrounding furniture, and also behind skirting boards, under loose wall-paper, behind pictures and even in plug sockets to name a few.Bed bugs need to feed on the blood of a human host. However in some cases they can survive up to a year without feeding.

One of the first signs of a bed bug infestation is red, irritating bites, typically appearing in rows on your neck, shoulders, back, legs, or arms. These bites are usually itchy and can be quite uncomfortable, indicating that bed bugs have been feeding on you while you sleep.

Clusters of dark spots, about 1mm wide and resembling ink dots, are another telltale sign of bed bugs. These spots are usually found on the bed frame or the underside of the mattress, indicating the presence of bed bug excrement and shedding.

Small blood smears on bed linen or the headboard are a common sign of a bed bug infestation. These smears occur when a bed bug is accidentally crushed after feeding, leaving behind a trace of blood.

Finding small brown insects in and around your bed frame and sleeping area is a clear indication of bed bugs. These insects can be seen with the naked eye, and their presence in your sleeping area confirms an infestation.
