Bed bugs hitch a ride home in luggage, second-hand furniture and clothing, and they can turn up in any home, clean or not. In Redlands, people often find them after a holiday, a visitor staying over or bringing home a used couch or bed. Signs include small blood spots on sheets, dark specks along mattress seams and bites in rows on waking. We give you upfront pricing and book a local crew to treat the home.
Bed bugs hide in tight spots close to where people sleep, so the crew inspects mattress seams, bed frames, headboards, bedside tables, skirting boards and power points in affected rooms. They treat every hiding place they find, and they usually recommend a second visit about two weeks later to catch bugs that hatch from eggs after the first treatment. That second visit is booked and priced up front.
- Inspection of beds, frames and headboards
- Treatment of seams, joints and cracks
- Bedside furniture, skirting boards and power points
- A second visit to catch newly hatched bugs
- Clear steps for washing and bagging linen
Before the visit, wash all bedding and clothing from affected rooms on the hottest setting the fabric allows, then dry it on high heat and keep it sealed in bags. Clear clutter from under the beds and off the floor. Please do not move mattresses or furniture to other rooms, as this can spread bed bugs through the house. If you are worried about bites, ask a doctor.
