Bed bugs have been about for many years and have honed their hitchhiking and hiding skills to perfection. They will have been unknowingly picked up from an existing infestation – attaching themselves to your clothing, bags, backpacks, luggage, hiding inside fabrics, furnishings, and cracks and crevices in used furniture.  

Bed bugs are mainly active at night, Bed bugs hide in crevices in the bed, surrounding furniture, and behind skirting boards, under loose wallpaper, behind pictures and even in plug sockets to name a few. They need to feed on the blood of a human host. However, in some cases, they can survive up to 12 months without feeding. 

Bed bugs are not known to spread diseases. However, they can cause irritation and distress. Bed bugs can also ruin an organisation’s reputation. If clients and customers experience a Bed bug infestation in the premises you manage, they are likely to complain and request a refund, report on your company negatively and be unlikely to want to do business with you again.
