Bed Bug Removal

One pest that strikes terror into anyone’s heart is bed bugs. These small insects can be difficult to get rid of once they make your house their home. Despite the name, bed bugs aren’t just found in beds; they can hide in tiny crevices in box springs, bed frames, carpets, upholstered furniture and even behind loose wallpaper.

While bed bugs aren’t as much of a health hazard as other pests, they can still cause discomfort and an allergic reaction in some cases. They also disturb your sleep, which can lead to other health issues. Their bites can cause skin infections, so bed bugs can be especially dangerous to families with young children, the elderly or anyone with a compromised immune system.

Bed bugs aren’t just an issue for homeowners; these small but mighty menaces can be potentially devastating for businesses, particularly those in the hospitality market. If you’re found to have a bed bug infestation, your location could be shut down until the issue is resolved, which will cost you money and, potentially, your good name.

The team at Vermicure has worked on bed bug treatments in homes, hotel rooms, office buildings and other commercial properties throughout Wakefield, Leeds, Harrogate, Doncaster, Weatherby, Featherstone, Selby and the surrounding area.

Being a small biting insect that’s difficult to see, bed bugs are often confused with fleas. Signs of bed bug activity include:

• Bite Marks: While you might not feel them, you will usually notice a red welt on your skin, which could be a bed bug bite. Commonly found on exposed skin such as the hands and feet, bed bug bites are most often noticed in the morning after you’ve been sleeping in an infested bed.
• Brown Stains On Bedding: Brown marks on bed linen could be one of three things: bed bug excrement, blood droplets from where they broke the skin or crushed bed bugs from where you rolled onto them in the night.
• Shed Skins: Throughout their life stages, bed bugs shed their skin several times, right up until adulthood. Shed skins are easier to see than the bugs themselves because they aren’t moving and are translucent, so you might find them in down mattress seams or inside your bed frame, as well as on soft furnishings such as sofas or armchairs.
• Eggs: Bed bug eggs are off-white in colour and look like tiny grains of rice. You’ll find them in small cracks and gaps in furniture, similar to shed skins, and they are usually in large clusters.

Bed bugs are one pest that you need to have removed by professional pest control experts like Vermicure. DIY solutions aren’t the answer because most products don’t kill bed bugs at every stage of their life cycle, and they can be toxic to humans and pets if used incorrectly.

It can be tough to notice a bed bug problem because bed bugs inject an anaesthetic into your skin before biting; you might not feel their bite. As such, it could be days or even weeks before you realise you have a bed bug infestation, and considering that female bed bugs can lay between 1 and 5 eggs a day, the issue could quickly become a major problem.

Also, bed bugs are incredibly small- about the size of an apple seed- and good at hiding in tiny cracks and tight spaces, such as mattress seams, inside bed linen and your bed frame. Bed bug eggs and adult bed bugs can live dormant for up to a year, if necessary until they can find a human blood meal to sustain them and begin their life cycle again.

To eradicate bed bugs at all life stages and no matter where they’re hiding, you need to work with the professionals. At Vermicure, we have extensive experience taking apart infested areas to find bed bugs no matter where they’re hiding.
