Bringing together identification, treatment and prevention, here's a complete overview of dealing with bed bugs properly.
Identification
Adult bed bugs are reddish-brown, oval and roughly 5mm long, with eggs, shed skins, droppings and blood spots on bedding all serving as reliable early signs before live bugs are easily seen.
Treatment
- A professional inspection confirms the extent of the problem
- Heat or chemical treatment addresses the full life cycle, not just visible bugs
- Prices start from £180 for a one-bedroom property
- A follow-up visit may be needed for larger infestations
Prevention
Mattress encasements, checking luggage after travel, and inspecting second-hand furniture before bringing it home are the most effective ongoing prevention habits once treatment is complete.
