Trusted Bed Bug Removal Doncaster And Beyond
Expert Bed Bug Control For Homes And Businesses
Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals, much like fleas. Bed bugs often hide deep inside furniture and fabrics throughout your home, including buried into carpets, sofas, mattresses, box springs and bed frames. For large infestations, their hiding places can also include behind skirting boards or loose wallpaper.
For businesses, particularly those in the hospitality market, such as hotels, hostels, B&Bs and other accommodation providers are prone to bed bug infestations, as they are often carried on clothing. Homeowners might also transfer them onto their clothing from contact with an infested room in someone else’s property, or from a guest.
However the bed bugs get inside your home, once inside these highly resilient insects can be difficult to eliminate. Bed bugs can lie dormant for up to a year without a blood meal, and most DIY bed bug products don’t actually kill bed bugs at all life cycle stages. With Don Valley Pest Management, you can ensure your bed bug problem is truly gone. Call 07798 792774 to book your bed bug treatment today.

Signs Of A Bed Bug Infestation
Identifying bed bugs can be challenging because they are small, elusive insects that hide in cracks and crevices during the day. However, there are a few key signs to look for that can indicate a bed bug infestation, including:
A Musty Smell: Large infestations can cause a musty smell to permeate throughout your property, which can’t be removed by cleaning.
Bed Bug Bites: One of the most obvious signs of a bed bug infestation is the presence of bites on your skin. Bed bug bites are often grouped together in a line or cluster, and they can cause itching and swelling.
Red Marks On Your Bed Sheets: Look out for small bloodstains on your sheets or mattress. This is because bed bugs are nocturnal and feed on blood during the night, which may leak out onto pale bed linen. Some red marks might also be squashed bed bugs from when you roll over onto them in the night.
Shed Skins: Bed bugs shed their skins as they grow, leaving behind pale exoskeletons that look like pale versions of the bugs themselves, but are immobile.

Dangers Of Bed Bugs
Bed bugs do not transmit diseases, but that doesn’t mean that they are harmless. Bed bug bites can cause itching, swelling, and discomfort. Additionally, they can also cause psychological distress for those who are affected by their presence.
Businesses can face health and safety violations and reputation issues if they have a bed bug infestation. Even homeowners can get a reputation for uncleanliness and struggle to get approval from relevant regulators. In some cases, your premises might get shut down while you deal with the infestation.
While there are DIY bed bug treatments available, these are often ineffective, and in some cases bed bugs can become highly resistant to these chemicals.
Don Valley Pest Management has access to a range of treatment options, including heat treatment for a non-chemical approach. We have experience removing other insects too, such as moths, cockroaches, wasps and more.
