Most people realise they have got a bedbug infestation when they have bedbug bites, or they see bedbugs on their bed. Bedbug bites often leave small blood spots on the bed sheets, and a live bed bug is brown, oval, crawling insect, about the size of an apple seed.
Once a bedbug infestation is established, professional bedbug pest control is definitely the best solution. A bedbug extermination program is going to be far more effective than trying to get rid of bedbugs yourself. Although there are off the shelf bedbug insecticide products available, to successfully remove bedbugs can require a professional pest control service.
The processes used for bedbug pest control services varies. Some pest control companies offer a straightforward bedbug insecticide or chemical treatment. This is normally with a product that has to remain in the infested house or room for a period of up to 21 days. Leaving a bedbug insecticide in place for three weeks should help to make sure that any bedbug eggs that hatch after the initial extermination treatment, touch the insecticide and die off.
There are also freeze bedbug treatments available, or heat bedbug extermination processes. The extreme hot or cold temperatures should kill bedbugs and their eggs, however this does require very thorough pest control services, as any infested areas that are missed, may mean retreating is required at a later date.
Ideally a mix of either heat or freeze bedbug extermination techniques combined with the use of a bedbug insecticide are likely to give the best results, due to the longer lasting nature of residual insecticide products. Country Life Pest Control offer a bedbug extermination program over two visits; the first bedbug extermination being a mix of bedbug freeze and insecticide treatments and another insecticide treatment visit 21 days later, using a different bedbug extermination chemical. This is a very robust bedbug extermination process, and with bedbug extermination, usually the more thorough, the better.
Before any bedbug extermination or pest control service, you will likely be asked to wash all infested clothing, vacuum all areas thoroughly, wash bed linen and clear drawers in bedside cabinets. The key with all bedbug pest control is a thorough extermination service with attention to detail.
