All major cities around the world suffer from bed bugs and London has its fair share of them. Bed bugs are easily spread and in areas of high population thrive. This is more apparent during the summer months when people are travelling and having holidays and visiting friends and family. The latter being one of the most common ways people get bed bugs into their home. They easily hide in luggage and personal items and are difficult to notice.

If find that you have bed bugs in your home then you should take care when visiting family and friends so as not to spread them as they will hang onto clothing and other items. It is very easy to spread the bed bugs without knowing it and then others having infestations of bed bugs. D.I.Y bed bug treatments rarely work. They can in many cases make the problem worse so it is advised to seek a professional bed bug technician or company such as us and we advise against trying to get rid of bed bugs yourself.

Our discreet bed bug control in Essex and East London treatments are guaranteed to be effective and we will take you through how to prepare your home step by step as well as explain the bed bug control treatment process when you contact We have the experience and skill to eliminate bed bugs from property no matter how bad the infestation. A small bed bugs infestation left can quickly turn into a bad infestation when you consider that a female bed bug can lay 300 eggs.

We carry out treatments in homes, hotels, hostels and have also carried out bed bug control on cruise ships and barges and even vans! We have seen and done it all across Essex and East London over the years.

To the untrained eye of a non-bed bug technician, bed bugs are a pest that can be difficult to locate when in the early stage of an infestation. Not all properties have dozens of bed bugs or major bed bug infestations, some cases could be just one or two, but if left, can quickly develop into a much more serious infestation requiring a much more in-depth bed bug control and treatments.

If you think you have bed bugs, have you seen blood spots? Black, excrement marks? Skin casts? Have you checked the rear of bedside units, under the mattress on the wooden slats? Bed bugs love those areas! Items under your bed, pictures on the wall above your bed or if your curtains overhang your bed, the gathering at the top of the curtains?

Try having a good, in-depth clean, home as often in the early stages of a bed bug infestation it is possible to remove the bed bugs by deep cleaning the room, the carpets/floors behind hoovered, in particular, the edges as bed bugs love to squeeze into the gaps.

Also around plug sockets, radiator brackets, the back of doors. If you think you have an early level infestation try some d.i.y bed bug control in the form of cleaning but DO NOT buy fogging and aerosol d.i.y treatments from the internet. These can make a bed bug infestation worse and make bed bug control for the technician more difficult.

Firstly, having bed bugs in your room or home does not make your home dirty, unhygienic or does it reflect in any way on how you live. Bed bugs also do not distinguish between a clean home and a dirty one. There are several ways in which you can get bed bugs in your home.

Travelling is a common way to bring bed bugs into your home. You may have just come back from holiday in suitcases, back packing, or stayed in a hotel for work. All of these are ways in which it is common to pick up bed bugs.

You could have had someone stay with you that has bed bugs, perhaps they are not aware of them, or maybe they are aware but just not that they can spread bed bugs on their person, this is another common way of getting bed bugs.
