The Importance Of Professional Bed Bug Control
Bed bugs are minuscule insects that are similar to fleas, although they are not usually transmitted through contact with animals. Instead, bed bugs can hide deep inside soft furniture, carpets, curtains, clothes and other household fabrics.
As the name suggests, they’re often found inside beds, using tight hiding places such as inside box springs, deep in mattresses and in bed frames. However, they can also be found in other areas, such as luggage, soft furnishings, carpets and even behind loose wallpaper in infested rooms. Unlike fleas, bed bugs can’t jump, but they can crawl, and they can quickly move from infested items into your home.
Once bed bugs find a regular source of a blood meal, they will breed and become a full bed bug infestation. DIY bed bug products can be toxic to pets and children, and aren’t effective at removing the full infestation. Mission Pest Control offers heat treatment solutions that use high heat to kill bed bugs while protecting your home. To find out more, call us now on 01793379333.

Signs Of A Bed Bug Infestation
Even adult bed bugs are incredibly small, and are usually only the size of an apple seed. As such, it can be a challenge to find bed bugs, but there are some other signs of a bed bug infestation.
Bed Bug Bites
Bed bug bites look like small, red welts on your skin and are usually found on exposed areas such as the hands, neck, face and arms.
Red Stains On Bedding:
Red stains on your bedding could be bed bug faeces, drops of blood from their bites or dead bed bugs from where you squashed them while you were sleeping.
Shed Skins
While live bed bugs are fast and difficult to see, you might notice shed skins in your home, which look like clear versions of adult bed bugs.
If you notice any of these signs of bed bugs, you need to work with a professional exterminator. Even smaller infestations can quickly become a major issue, so contact us as soon as possible to protect your home or business.
