Signs You Have Bed Bugs in Barkham
- Clusters/lines of itchy bites on exposed skin after sleeping
- Tiny black specks (faecal marks) on seams, skirtings and frames
- Small blood smears on bedding
- Cast skins and eggs around headboards, divan bases and furniture joints
Heat vs Residual Insecticides (Why We Combine Both)
Targeted Heat: Drives lethal temperatures into fabrics and harbourages (mattresses, sofas, cracks, voids) for rapid knock-down without chemical residue at point of use.
Residual Insecticides & IGRs: Leave a controlled film on key surfaces to intercept late hatchers and mobile stages, breaking the life cycle.
- Best of both: Heat reaches hidden bugs and eggs; residuals keep working between visits—maximising clearance and minimising repeat activity.
- Discreet delivery: Unmarked vehicles and low-visibility attendance available on request.
Preparation Checklist (Maximise Results)
- Launder bedding and affected clothing at 60°C (or tumble-dry hot); bag clean items.
- Clear under beds and around skirtings; reduce clutter near sleeping areas.
- Vacuum mattresses, bed frames, edges and skirting boards; empty the vacuum immediately.
- Isolate treated/clean items in sealed bags or containers until after the visit.
Aftercare, Follow-Up & Guarantee
- Avoid washing treated surfaces for 10–14 days so residuals keep working.
- Fit mattress/box-spring encasements if recommended.
- Expect a brief reduction “fizz” as remaining stages contact residuals.
- Follow-up inspection/treatment is scheduled where needed; guarantees are detailed in your treatment plan.
