Bed Bug Treatment & Removal
Bed bugs are one of the most distressing pest problems -- but with the right treatment, they can be completely eliminated. Our specialists act fast and get results.
Why Bed Bugs Are So Difficult to Eliminate
Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are small, flat, reddish-brown insects that feed exclusively on blood -- primarily human blood at night. They are expert hiders, concealing themselves in mattress seams, bed frames, skirting boards, power sockets, and even behind wallpaper -- making DIY treatment almost always ineffective.
A single female can lay 200-500 eggs in her lifetime, and eggs are resistant to most over-the-counter sprays. A full infestation can develop from a single hitchhiking bug carried in on luggage, clothing, or second-hand furniture -- and they can survive for over a year without feeding.
Professional treatment using the correct combination of products and methods is the only reliable way to eliminate bed bugs completely. Eco Pest Controls specialist bed bug team uses a proven multi-treatment protocol that eliminates all life stages -- eggs, nymphs, and adults.
How to Know if You Have Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are masters of concealment -- but they do leave evidence. Look for these signs.
How We Eliminate Bed Bugs Completely
We use a proven multi-treatment protocol targeting all life stages -- eggs, nymphs, and adults.
Residual Chemical Treatment
Targeted application of approved, long-lasting residual insecticides to all harbourage sites -- mattress seams, bed frames, skirting boards, furniture joints, and power outlets. The residual effect continues working for weeks after application.
Contact Spray Treatment
Fast-acting contact insecticide applied directly to visible bugs and eggs -- providing immediate knockdown while the residual product continues working.
Insect Growth Regulator (IGR)
IGR treatment disrupts the reproductive cycle of bed bugs -- preventing nymphs from developing to reproductive adults and eggs from hatching. Essential for breaking the breeding cycle.
Follow-Up Inspection
We return after 10-14 days to inspect, assess treatment success, and carry out any required additional treatment -- all included in the service.
