I believe I have bedbugs in my residence in Canterbury, what should I do?
When bed bugs are found, the temptation is often to buy a product from the super market that claims to kill bed bugs.
DO NOT DO THIS. Bed bugs in this country, and around the world have built up a significant immunity to a broad range of insecticides. The chances of you killing them all are close to zero. On the other hand, the bed bugs that you fail to kill will try to escape and find new rooms and hosts, thus spreading the problem.
Insecticides with several different properties are needed to eradicate bed bug infestations.
An example of this would be:
How can I tell they are bed bugs?
Bedbugs are nocturnal beings that feed on human blood. They are brown in colour, and are 4-5mm long when they reach adulthood. The freshly hatched nymphs are extremely tiny, roughly 1.5mm long. At first the newly hatched nymphs are translucent, getting browner as they develop and moult. Bedbugs are oval and flat, have six legs and do not have wings. House dust mites are frequently referred to as bedbugs but are not. Dust mites are very small (0.4mm) arachnids, and are typically located in duvets, mattresses and pillows.

What indicators ought I search for?
As bedbugs feast on blood, the primary factor you will observe is bites on the body. If you do discover you are getting bitten, you must search for clues that the bugs are present. Bedbugs typically nest in the area of the host, so search around the your bed. You may possibly see the live insects and nymphs, but are more likely to see their excrement, which show up as brown/black dots and smears. Although bed bugs are more likely to live in areas that are messy or dis-organised, I often find bed bugs in spotless homes and hotels. They can be bought into the property or home by means of 2nd hand pieces of furniture, by individuals returning from trips away and even public transport. Bed bugs have also been know to enter via an adjacent property.
Are Bedbugs a threat to my health?
Bedbugs are not a significant danger to health. Nevertheless, bites need to be addressed with care, and must not be scratched. This reduces the likelihood of additional infection. Their existence is more of a nuisance than a health threat.
What will we do when we visit?
Before our visit, we request that you do a number of things to make sure that the procedure is as successful as possible. We advise that you vacuum the property or home extensively, which includes all-around the edges and beneath furnishings, and get rid of of the contents of the vacuum. All flooring surfaces (which include beneath beds), need to be cleared of papers, playthings, apparel etc. All pet bedding must be washed, and any fish tanks, hamster hutches etc, should be protected.
We're able to visit your property on the agreed upon date and time. Our Pest Control Officer will survey and treat the effected areas with the most suitable residual insecticide through the property or home.
Following the procedure, you can assist us further by vacating the property for two/three hours to enable the insecticide to dry, and not vacuuming the treated areas for 21 days following the treatment.

More information about bedbugs in Canterbury
Bedbugs multiply applying an approach known as ‘traumatic insemination’, which implies the male punctures the female’s abdominal area. In theory, it is feasible to convey how numerous a female has reproduced. The females will lay down five eggs within a 24 hour period, which translates to around 500 eggs in their life time. These eggs take two weeks to hatch out, and will develop into an adult in five weeks. Bedbugs feast entirely on blood, and are drawn to a host by warmth and carbon dioxide. They use their needle formed mouth area to permeate the skin. The mouth elements are designed with two tubes; one of which inserts spittle comprising anticoagulants and anaesthetics, the other is used to draw up the blood. It will feast right until it is full, which typically takes around five minutes. Their flat form enables them to press into cracks and holes, in which they can reside for months without feeding.
