Determining the source of the Bed Bugs is important, they will either be gaining access from an adjoining property or transported in on clothing and luggage.
Bedbugs can be dark yellow, red or brown. Adults are around 5mm long.
Signs of bedbugs
- bites – often on skin exposed while sleeping, like the face, neck and arms.
- spots of blood on your bedding – from the bites or from squashing a bedbug.
- small brown spots on bedding or furniture (bedbug poo)
We will undertake a four stage survey of inspection, reporting & reviewing, discussion and treatment, read more here.

Characteristics of true Bed Bugs include a beak with three segments; antenna that have four parts; wings that are not used for flying; and short, golden-colored hairs); and smelly, with a “musty-sweetish” odour produced through glands on the lower side of the body.

smaller, translucent or whitish-yellow in colour; and if not recently fed, can be nearly invisible to the naked eye because of colouring and size.
