How we deal with bed bugs
- Step 01

We check beds, furniture, skirting and sockets to confirm bed bugs and see how far they have spread.
- Step 02
Preparation
We give you clear instructions on washing bedding and clothing and preparing the room before treatment.
- Step 03
Treatment
We treat beds, furniture and harbourage areas using methods suited to the property.

05 Questions
Bed bug treatment: common questions
Q.01Does having bed bugs mean my home is dirty?
No. Bed bugs are usually brought in on luggage, clothing or second-hand furniture and can affect any property.
Q.02Can I treat bed bugs myself?
Shop-bought sprays rarely reach every hiding place and can spread bed bugs to other rooms. Professional treatment is the most reliable option.

Yes. We treat rented properties and HMOs and can provide written reports for landlords and agents.
