When you have a bed bug problem the first step is to freak out! After having a cup of tea and a biscuit you can then logically work out a plan of action to tackle the bugs.

The best place to start is to find what can kill them and how it works. Having bed bugs and finding a viable solution for killing them is no different to having any other service to your property. It is alway best to get a couple of quotes. When phoning around and speaking to the UK’s bed bug specialists you will find that we all do it a little differently.

If you are a landlord and your tenants have a bed bug problem it can be difficult to determine whose responsibility the bed bug infestation is. Who arranges a treatment? Who pays for the treatment? Depending on when the infestation started you can decide whose responsibility it is. Was the problem brought in by a previous tenant? Did the tenant have bedbugs in the previous property and has brought them in with them? These questions can usually be answered by the number of bed bugs being seen and the number of bites being received.

This will all depend on how long the problem has been in the area for. So if you have 20 + rooms to search, this could take a pest controller days. If no evidence is found the best a pest controller can say is there is no evidence of bed bugs. This does not confirm that there is not a bed bug infestation there.
