Bed Bug Control
Bed Bug infestations are a recognised major problem in Australia. They have spread beyond the bedroom and are now present in places such as shops, hospitals, waiting rooms, offices, accommodation, public transport …
Bed bugs are wingless insects, oval in shape, 5-6mm long as an adult. They are a rusty brown in colour and change to a deeper reddish brown after blood meal. An Adult bed bug can live for 6 months at room temperatures of around 200C and much longer in colder climates. Bed Bugs have a flat shaped body which allows them to hide away in dark cracks and crevices. Take time to carefully look for dark lines in the crevices of furniture, bedding, drawers and clothing.
