BEDBUGS ARE A RISING PROBLEM THROUGHOUT THE UK, ESPECIALLY IN HEAVILY POPULATED TOWNS LIKE SWINDON. THEY SPREAD EASILY TO NON-INFESTED PROPERTIES BY LATCHING ONTO UNWITTING HOSTS.
With hundreds of hotels and shared accommodation located all over Swindon and the surrounding area, they are able to spread extremely quickly and can quickly overrun a home. Our bed bug pest control services are one of Swindon’s leaders in bedbug treatment, specialising in heat and chemical techniques to rid your home of infestations as quickly and easily as possible.
MYTH! Bedbugs never crawl under one’s skin! Markings implying this may be signs of other skin infections or a severe allergic reaction to bedbug bites.
Indicator of an Infestation
The insects may be very difficult to find, but infestations are typically concentrated on or around bedding or upholstered furniture, and clusters of the insects, their eggs and immature stages may be found on seams of mattresses, Bed Bases and in folds of upholstered furniture.
The pattern of bites is another means of confirming that the infestation is indeed that of bedbugs. Though bedbug bites can occur singly, they often follow a familiar pattern of a linear group of three bites, sometimes macabrely referred to as “breakfast, lunch and dinner”. These patterns of bites are caused when a bedbug is disturbed in feeding by a person moving, and then the bedbug resumes feeding. If you’ve experienced any of this, it’s time to contact our Bed Bug Pest Control specialists in Swindon.
Bedbug bites also very often occur in lines marking the paths of blood vessels running close to the surface of the skin. The effect of these bites on humans varies, but often cause swelling that are itchy and longer-lasting than mosquito bites. Some people, however, have little or no reaction to bedbug bites. Those whose bodies do not initially react may subsequently develop symptoms, however, due to an allergic reaction caused by the development of antigen.
How We Get Rid of Bed Bugs

Once the inspection is complete, he will know exactly what bed bug removal method to implement for a fast and very effective service;
- Treatment: Your pest exterminator will apply powerful (and safe) bed bug control products to treat the infested spots. He will utilise insecticides that are not available at your local store – which has a strong residual effect that will protect your home for long;
