Residential & Commercial · Bedbug Treatment
Surface sprays only kill what's out in the open, and bedbugs spend almost all day sealed inside seams, frames and skirtings. We treat every hiding point, not just the mattress - safe for kids and pets, with a clear plan through to full resolution.
Why the supermarket spray isn't working
Bedbugs feed at night and spend the rest of their time flattened into mattress seams, bed frame joints, skirting gaps and even behind picture frames - places a can of surface spray never actually reaches. Their eggs are also resistant to most contact insecticides, so a treatment that only kills the bugs you can see leaves the next generation to hatch out days later, which is why DIY attempts so often look like they've worked and then flare up again. Our approach combines a thorough room-by-room inspection with targeted crack-and-crevice residual treatment at every activity point, backed by a scheduled follow-up visit to catch anything that hatches after the first round.
Worth checking for
Waking up with several bites in a row on exposed skin is a classic bedbug pattern, since they feed repeatedly along a blood vessel.
These are crushed blood spots or droppings left along seams, piping and the underside of the mattress.
A heavier infestation often gives off a faint sweet odour from the bugs' scent glands, noticeable near the bed.
Pale, papery skins and tiny pale eggs tucked into mattress seams or frame joints point to an active, breeding population.
How we treat it
We check mattresses, frames, skirtings, sockets and nearby furniture to map exactly where the population is hiding.
Residual treatment is applied directly into mattrasses, seams, joints and gaps - the spots a household spray can't get into. Once dry it's safe to sleep on that treated mattress the same evening
A scheduled second visit targets anything that's hatched since the first treatment, so eggs don't get a chance to restart the cycle.
You get a clear report on what we found, what was used, and simple habits that keep bedbugs from coming back.
Good to know
Yes - we use products and application methods that are safe for occupied homes with children and pets, and we'll always tell you if any brief precaution is needed for a specific product.
Most households notice far fewer bites within the first day, but because eggs can survive the first treatment, full resolution usually takes two treatments over roughly 3–4 weeks.
Rarely on its own - bedbug eggs are naturally resistant to most treatments, so we build in a follow-up visit as standard rather than waiting to see if activity returns.
Washing and hot-drying bedding and clothing beforehand helps, but avoid deep-cleaning furniture or moving items between rooms, since that can spread bugs to areas that weren't affected.
While you're at it
Dealing with more than one pest at once is common - ask about a combined visit.
