\"Bed<\/a><\/p>\n

Bed bugs are small crawling parasitic insects that have quickly become one of the most persistent pest problems.<\/strong> \u00a0A combination of being very easily spread yet quite complicated to treat has seen outbreaks take place throughout the UK.<\/p>\n

For obvious reasons a bed bug infestation can prove to be a serious issue for any business that receives a consistent flow of visitors to their premises such as B & B’s, hotels and guest houses. Care homes and even public transport systems can also be vulnerable.<\/p>\n

The key to getting rid of bed bugs is to raise awareness of the\u00a0signs to look for\u00a0and to ensure infestations are dealt with quickly and effectively by a professional pest controller, once discovered.<\/p>\n

Potential Harm from Bed Bugs<\/h2>\n

Due to an attraction to both heat and carbon dioxide and a thirst for human blood, bed bugs are naturally drawn to try and feed on us! Via the use of 2 tubular appendages, 1 is used to pierce the skin and deliver anticoagulants and anaesthetics, while the other extracts blood from the host. This allows feeding to go unnoticed until the anaesthetic wears off and we realise that we have been bitten.<\/p>\n

Bed bugs are unsurprisingly a cause of genuine anxiety to many people and it is not surprising when you consider that severe cases of irritation can be extremely uncomfortable, with the potential to lead to secondary infection and even anaemia in some cases.<\/p>\n

  • Complicated pest to treat<\/li>\n
  • Once established, bed bugs can swiftly reach an epidemic level if not treated quickly and professionally<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
