Bed Bugs in Perthshire

Bed bugs are an increasingly prevalent problem in the United Kingdom. They are able to cause significant issues with bites and even infections, especially if an infestation is in your business premises. They are a common problem in hotels, and many hotels will use some sort of proactive treatment to detect bed bugs. Bed bugs normally spread by travelling on clothes or luggage, so if you stay anywhere that you think may be infested it’s important to check your belongings for any warning of bed bugs.

The best treatment for bed bugs is a specialist heat treatment. This method of treatment increases the temperature in the room substantially. This treatment method has the advantage of killing bed bugs in every stage of their life cycle, even eradicating the eggs. Many pest control businesses offer guarantees on their heat treatments meaning they’ll return and carry out further treatment if their first stage is not successful. However, heat treatments are extremely successful and can be executed in a single day. In addition, they are very discreet as the equipment is all inside the building and there are no externally observable pipes needed.

You can find DIY tools on the market to control bed bugs. However, these are often ineffective as bed bugs in the United Kingdom are rapidly building resistance to standard chemical treatments. Good preventative hygiene such as cleansing bedding at a high heat (above 60c) and regular visual inspections are a sensible way to ensure that any bed bug infestation is recognized as early as possible. Specialist pest control companies can survey the affected area and advise you of the greatest approach to treatment. Bed bugs can quickly spread to other areas, so treatments are often completed in adjoining rooms to make sure that there are no lingering insects.
