Frequently asked questions.

Can you do a quick spray for half the price.

Unfortunately not, it will not resolve the problem. In order to

take control of the bed bug problem you need to do the job properly. Spending an hour in each room or longer. Searching and treating the area.

Can I watch you treat the room.

Unfortunately not, you could inhale dangerous pesticides and have unsettled bed bugs crawl towards you.

My partner gets bitten but I do not, we share a bed, it can not be bed bugs it must be all in her mind.

When bed bugs bite people different people react differently. So have

an allergic reaction to the saliva and the anti colagulant and histamine

in the bed bugs bite. So people in the same room do get bitten but do

not have an itch or bumps.

My home is clean, there can be no bed bugs in it.

Bed bugs are synonymous with dirty places but most houses that are infested are clean, some five star hotels.

We recommend this seminar for people wishing to start up in the bed

bug related pest control environment.

I can just buy some bed bug spray at the shops or online and then I

can save money.

If that were the case pest control companies would be bankrupt.

Pesticides bought in the shops will not kill the bugs they will just

chase them away for a few days.

The peryrithin in most bed bug prays bought in the shops are what

we cal in the industry a 'flusher'.

It just chases the bed bugs out so then we can spray the professional pesticides. Perytihin is a naturally occurring compound. But you may chase them away to a new room, compounding the problem.

Can you visit just once and kill the all the bed bugs.

I wish it where that easy but in most cases we have to come out twice

to re spray the hatching eggs and immature nymphs and any rouge

bed bug that may have escaped the first spraying. Also to access the situation.

I do not want to buy mattress protectors I will just buy a new bed or keep the old one.

Mattress protectors are very important to trap any bed bugs in your

bed or bed base.

It also make our job a lot easier as we do not have to spend hours dismantling your bed. Bed bugs do not exclusively hid in your bed they can be anywhere but bed bugs do prefer the bed or head boards. Hence the name. Even if you through your bed out, you could have more bed bugs visit your house in the future.

I feel a mattress protector is vital. And in a hotel 100% essential to

stop continual reinfestment.

I can just go on the internet and buy a cheap mattress protector.

No they are not all the same, the design, fabric and most importantly

the zipper. Can the zipper be pulled all the way closed, are the teeth small enough to stop the nymphs, can the zipper be locked. Can the mattress protector be cleaned and maintain for up to two years without being taken off the mattress.

It may cost you nearly the cost of a new bed. But then there is the delivery inconvenience of you new bed, disposal of your old bed. And all the other fees. and maybe your new bed is not as comfortable as your present bed. And what happens if you get more bugs in the future?

I can not be bother to clean up all the lying clothes and ornaments and books can you just work around them?

Yes I can but it will make my job harder and make the treatment less effective.

If you want the bed bugs to be gone you need to clean up all unnecessary items in to clear plastic bags.

Take clothes, bedding, curtains to the dry cleaners or put in very hot water. So when we come we can inspect the room, bed, furniture and spray our pesticide.

Can I let my cat, dog or fish be present during or directly after your treatment.

No, fish will be in trouble if they come in contact with the pesticide and

so will your cat.

Keep all living things away from the treated room for as long as possible, at least a day.

You did not spray much pesticide and the bugs are still biting after day when you treated the room.

We only spray where it is necessary and for strategic reason, do not want bugs to be chased to another room.

Bed bugs will not die straight away, takes a few days to start to effect them. The we need to come and re spray.

It is a war of attrition, the problem should be completely gone over a three week period.

Or you can phone some pest controller who will say, "We can come around for £99 and we will have all those bugs

killed in a jiffy".

Or you can call us, the choice is yours. But after a couple of cowboys treating your home you will be calling us.
