When considering your treatment options for eradicating bed bugs one of the biggest factors taken in to consideration is how long you have had the problem for and how badly you react to the bed bug bites.

A heat treatment is a great way to eradicate your bed bug problem in the quickest time. If you react very badly to the bites, feel you cannot sleep in your property because of the bed bugs or just cannot stand the thought of them then a heat treatment is your best option.

Heat treatments take a lot longer to complete than chemical treatments but unlike chemical treatments there is no waiting time for the treatment to be effective. A heat treatment will take 24 hours to complete but in those 24 hours all life stages are killed, so when you return to the property all the bed bugs including the eggs will be eradicated.

We always advise to heat treat your whole home except for kitchens and bathrooms. Bed bugs can feed on us anywhere we relax so, our bedrooms, studies or on our sofa when we are watching TV are all potential feeding places for bed bugs. Although you may not have seen them in these areas it is very easy for them to move between rooms so they may be there.

The cost of a heat treatment will vary from home to home so it is best to have a no obligation survey however we can normally provide a rough guide price on the phone once we have a few details from you.

We will always endeavor to give you the best advice for your circumstances and budget so do not hesitate to contact us.

Happy new year from all the staff at Trust K9. Alfie took this very special photo for everyone on new years eve.

Over Christmas and New Year’s the majority of us will visit family and friends. When visiting we may stay at their houses or in hotels.  By now we are all back into the swing of things. Carrying out our usual commute and back in our own homes. What do you do if you start to get bites? Or were bitten while you were away and are still being bitten now?

Firstly the best thing to do is to phone your family or friends you stayed and speak to them. They may not know they have a bed bug problem or they may have only just found out.

Secondly we need to identify if your biting problem is a bed bug problem. Have you been bitten by bed bugs before and know what the bites look like? Is the any evidence of the bed bugs in your property? Have you seen a bed bug?

If you haven’t you don’t need to worry. We have Alfie and Dex who are bed bug sniffer dogs and can detect as little as one bed bug or a few nymphs.

So if you feel you may have come into contact with a bed bug infestation recently, please don’t worry as you no longer have to wait to see the evidence of the bed bugs.

Please call the number above to book Alfie or Dex in for a visit.
