Bedbug Control

BEDBUGS CONTROL

If you thought that bedbugs are for the poor, then you are very wrong! They can be found in any house despite your financial capabilities. Bedbugs are very annoying at night. During the day they can really be an embarrassment. Imagine a bedbug crawling on the collar of your well-cut suit while in an important meeting! They are easily spread but difficult to control. They hide during the daytime only to come out at night to feed on the hosts’ blood.

Adult bedbugs are brown to reddish-brown. They are oval in shape with a flattened body. They can easily hide in tiny cracks and crevices due to their flat body shape. They like hiding in dark and isolated areas. You will find them in skirting board, wardrobes, and bedside cabinets, underneath carpets, bed frames and headboard crevices. Hotels are not spared either! You will find bedbugs in the high-class hotels.

How do you get bedbugs?

• From public places like buses, hotels, lodgings, market place or learning institutions.
• From neighbors through a shared clothesline
• Storing damp laundry
