Pest Control for Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are small parasites that feed on the blood of humans, bats, chickens, and occasionally domestic animals. Although they’re suspected of carrying diseases such as Leprosy, Q Fever, Oriental Sore and Brucellosis, there’s no concrete evidence of them spreading these to humans.

These insects are easy to identify by their rust-red to mahogany colour, flattened oval bodies, and small eyes. After feeding, they become swollen, longer, and dark red to brown in colour.

While bed bugs are a nuisance, identifying and treating an infestation quickly prevents further spread and damage. For fast, effective pest control for bed bugs in Lincolnshire, contact Lincspest today.

Facts About Bed Bugs

• Bed bugs are bloodsucking parasites that feed on humans and some domestic animals.
• A bed bug bite is painless: irritation, swelling, and redness are caused by their saliva.
• Bed bugs feed mainly at night but will feed during the day if the room is dark.
• They live in bedclothes, mattresses, bed frames, furniture, cracks, and under wallpaper.
• Their life cycle lasts between 1 and 4 months, depending on temperature and food availability.
• Female bed bugs lay 200–500 eggs in batches of 10–50 on rough surfaces such as wood or paper.
• Eggs are white, sticky, and about 1/3 inch long, laid in cracks and crevices, never on humans.

Bed Bug Treatments

Heat Treatment for Bed Bugs

Heat treatment is a proven and chemical-free method used in hotels, care homes, social housing, and private homes. It’s highly effective at eliminating all stages of bed bugs and other insects.

This process works by raising the temperature in the affected area to a level that’s lethal to bed bugs, ensuring complete eradication. It’s safe for food handling and storage areas, making it ideal for both residential and commercial environments.

Insecticidal Spray and Dust Treatment

Effective bed bug treatment requires a thorough, professional approach. A quick DIY spray is rarely effective and may spread the problem.

Treatment involves:

• Removing and cleaning all washable items.
• A full inspection and treatment plan by a professional pest control company.
• Treating all infested and adjoining areas, including carpets, wallpaper, furniture, and electrical fittings.
• Follow-up treatments where necessary to ensure complete removal.

Investing in a professional treatment with Lincspest saves time, money, and stress in the long run.
