Bed bugs are one of the most common and frustrating pest problems faced by homeowners, hotels, and even offices today. These tiny, blood-sucking insects can easily spread and cause sleepless nights, allergic reactions, and damage to your business reputation if not controlled early.
As a professional pest control service provider, we understand how stressful a bed bug infestation can be; and we’re here to help you identify, prevent, and eliminate them effectively.
What Are Bed Bugs?
Bed bugs are small, flat, reddish-brown insects that feed on human blood, usually at night. They hide in cracks, crevices, and bedding, making them difficult to detect until the infestation has grown.
-
Scientific name: Cimex lectularius
-
Size: About 4–5 mm long (similar to an apple seed)
-
Lifespan: Up to 6–12 months, depending on temperature and food availability
Bed bugs don’t transmit diseases, but their bites can cause severe itching, redness, and allergic reactions in some individuals.
How to Identify Bed Bugs
If you suspect bed bugs, look for these common signs:
-
Small reddish or brownish stains on bedsheets or mattresses (bed bug droppings or crushed bugs).
-
Tiny white eggs or eggshells (about 1 mm) hidden in seams or crevices.
-
Musty, sweet odor often produced by large infestations.
-
Itchy, red bites on exposed skin (arms, legs, neck, or face).
-
Live bed bugs found near the bed frame, headboard, sofa, or wall cracks.

Luggage and travel bags

Second-hand furniture
-
Clothing and bedding

Shared accommodations or public transport
