Bed Bug Control Services
Bed Bugs are a true bug but instead of sucking sap from plants like the vast majority of bugs they have piercing and sucking mouth-parts and will feed on blood. 

Although they do not seem to be involved with any serious disease transmission they can cause great discomfort and annoyance.

Bed Bugs seem to be making a comeback over the last few years after being kept under control towards the end of last century.
Some of the reasons might be our increased travel and old treatments no longer being used.

Why choose MD Pest Control / Jim's  TTG ?

Bed Bug control is one of the more challenging procedures a pest controller will undertake. Depending on the size of the infestation and after a good inspection, control can normally be gained quickly and at a fair price. 

In some cases though carpet cleaning will be required (with a special steam cleaner) , rooms pulled apart and a number of visits required.

SOME INFORMATION ABOUT BED BUGS :
  • Bed bugs will often test bite people, usually in a straight line .
  • Bed bugs like to stay close to their hosts (us), and will normally hide near our beds in the daytime.
  • An odour can sometimes be smelt under heavy infestation .
  • Clothes will need to be washed in very hot water or clothes can be put into the freezer to kill bed bugs
  • Bed bugs can hide behind wallpaper, among books, in alarm clocks and will often live in your mattress.
  • Be careful when using "bug bombs " from the shop, they will often spread the problem throughout the whole house.
  • Bed bugs can be transported in our cars and often they will need to be treated also.
  • Adult Bed bugs can live for a year and can go a long time without feeding.

IMPORTANT NOTE  :  There is a Bed Bug code of practice for their treatment  which must be followed, this has been put in place because of the financial damage they can cause to Hotels / Motels etc.
Only certain chemicals and treatments should be used in their control to prevent them building up resistance to our current control methods.
