BED BUG INFESTATION
BED BUG INFESTATION-PRIME PEST SOLUTIONS

Bedbugs really are a disgusting little insect that will have you and/or the kids scratching like it's going out of fashion! They will normally bite (feed on your blood) during the night around the head and shoulders.

Evidence of bed bugs will be able to be found with blood 'spots' around the beading of the mattress and deposits on the headboard that look a bit like cigarette ash. The cracks and crevices (where timber is joined) will all need to be treated, as will floorboard and skirting board areas.

In the event you purchase, are given second hand beds or furniture, it is always a good idea to treat them for a bed bug infestation regardless of whether you can actually see evidence of same. Our Registered Member pest control companies are ready to help. Remember, better be safe than sorry!

Female Bed Bugs lay one to five eggs per day, with the white eggs being deposited individually in cracks or on rough surfaces, and secured with a transparent cement for an average of two hundred eggs. Maximum eggs per day is twelve about five hundred and forty throughout their lifetime. About three to ten minutes are required for each blood meal. Development time egg to adult takes twenty one days at 30°c to one hundred and twenty days at 18°c. With normal feeding and reproductive cycles, individuals can live up to three hundred and sixteen days.

Humans are the preferred hosts of Bed Bugs but in their absence Bed Bugs will feed on poultry, canaries, sparrow’s rats and mice. Bed bugs have been found to be infected with some twenty five different disease organisms.

Bed Bugs harbour in cracks and crevices during the day and come out to feed at night. Typically they can be found around mattress buttons and beading, in bed springs or coverings, and in any crevice of a wooden bed frame. Other places to look are picture frames, stuffed furniture, floorboard cracks, behind loose wall paper and door and window frames etc. Adult Bed Bugs can survive for up to six or seven months if they are well fed, and they can feed on other animals if humans are not present.

Bad publicity, loss of goodwill, prevention of disease, loss of quality, bad relations, annoyance factor are good reason to control the Bed Bug infestation.
