Identification
Adults are reddish-brown, oval, flattened 6 to 9 mm long and 1.5 to 3 mm wide before feeding. Engorged adults are swollen and dull red.
The white, oval egg is about 1 mm long.
Although humans are the preferred host, bed bugs feed on many warm-blooded animals. Animal hosts include poultry, rats, mice, dogs, cats, pigeons, canaries, rabbits, and guinea pigs.

After hatching the bed bug goes through five nymphal stages that resemble the adult, though they are smaller in size. A newly hatched nymph is almost colourless. Engorged nymphs are reddish and swollen. Wild animals, including bats, swallows and house martins may also serve as hosts and may be responsible for causing infestations in or around buildings.

Bed bugs usually hide in cracks or mattresses during the day and emerge at night to feed. They inject saliva as they feed. An allergic reaction to the saliva often causes slightly delayed swelling, itching, and burning which may persist for a week or more.

Female Bed bugs lay eggs throughout their life, generally around 2 to 3 per, each female could produce around 400 – 500 eggs during her lifetime.
The eggs are deposited all around the environment in which the Bed bug is living.
At temperatures above 21°C (70°F), eggs hatch in 6 to 17 days. At lower temperatures, hatching may take as long as 28 days.

Bed Bug Facts
They are not known to be disease carriers.
They feed on human blood by stabbing the victim with their hollow mouthparts, injecting an anticoagulant to prevent the blood clotting, and sucking the liquid blood into their gut.
Infestations are usually detected by the skin irritation caused by bites, usually limited to itching and inflammation.
They prefer to feed when it is dark and the host is still and asleep.
Bedbugs can ingest up to 7x their body weight in blood in a single feed.
Bedbugs can go without feeding for up to 12 months with older bugs surviving longer than young ones They are commonly transported in furniture and luggage.
They are unable to fly or jump.

Control:
The first step to dealing with bed bugs is to locate all of their hiding places:
Furniture, particularly bedroom furniture must be inspected carefully, even to the point of dismantling the bed for easier inspection and possible treatment.
Check under and behind other pieces of furniture, such as chairs, couches, dressers, etc. It may be necessary to remove the dust covers on the undersides of chairs and couches. Pull drawers out of dressers, inspect them carefully and examine the interior of the dresser.
Remove and inspect objects, such as pictures, mirrors, curtains, etc., that are hung or mounted on walls. Check obvious cracks and crevices along baseboards.
Inspect torn or loose wallpaper and decorative borders.
Check clothing and other item stored in areas where bed bugs have been found.DO NOT REMOVE ANY ITEM FROM ANY ROOM UNLESS IN A SEALED BAGS AS EGGS CAN DROP OFF ITEMS AND START INFESTATIONS IN OTHER AREAS FOR THE PROPERTY

The next step is to treat the possible daytime hiding places of bed bugs. Such applications are best done as a “crack and crevice” treatments to gaps around baseboards and other such items using a broad band residual insecticide through a manual hand  sprayer

Inspect all used furniture, especially beds and travel luggage before bringing them into the house.

Sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite!

 

People are often surprised to learn that while bed bugs love mattresses and hiding within bed frames, these little critters can be found in other areas such as bedside tables, headboards, pictures frames, electrical sockets, behind loose wallpaper, – even in your favourite armchair! Bed bugs are drawn to the heat, vibration and the carbon dioxide we exhale while we are sleeping. When they find us they feed on nice warm blood.  So if you find a reddish-brown flat, oval creature measuring around half a cm, it’s likely to be a bed bug, even if not in a bed!

 

Bed bugs generally enter a property via luggage or soft materials including furnishings, whether that’s from a second hand shop or brought back from travels. In extreme cases, they can come from the house next door, especially if it has just been vacated – they won’t let brick walls prevent them getting a warm meal. Each bed bug takes around 10 minutes to “eat” but on the plus side, they only eat every five to ten days.  If you are being bitten frequently, the larger the infestation will be.

 

What risk do bed bugs pose to human health?

 

While they don’t actually spread disease, the biggest risk was thought to be topical bacterial infections when the discomfort of a bite causes intense scratching and trauma to the skin. More recently, research has shown bed bugs to harbor the Hepatitis B virus, among other viruses.  This remains in their droppings which can then enter our bloodstream when we scratch the bite site.

 

Breeding bed bugs quickly means bigger risk & discomfort for humans

 

Bed bugs are prolific breeders when there is plenty of food and a warm environment.   A female can live around 18 months, laying up to 12 eggs a day (around 500 eggs during a lifetime).  Each egg hatches within 2 weeks, revealing tiny bugs called nymphs, which look similar to the adults, just paler and smaller.  They go through 5 phases of maturing before becoming an adult bed bug between 5 and 9 weeks later.

 

How can Manchester Pest Control help with a bed bug infestation?

 

Adult bed bugs can last for up to 8 months without feeding so simply removing the food source isn’t practical. Whilst you can prevent further eggs from hatching by using extremes of temperature, this would cause unbearable human living conditions! Many traditional chemical treatments have become less effective against bed bugs as they appear to develop a level of resistance to treatment. However we use a combination of the latest chemicals when treating an infestation, to ensure this pest is eliminated.  As with all our pest control measures, our trained technicians are on hand to offer advice on how to prevent future infestations, and how to check for early signs of these unwanted visitors.  As with many pests, the quicker their presence is identified the easier treatment will be. So if in doubt, call Manchester Pest Control out today and we will swiftly diagnose, and treat, any bed bug or other pest problem.

Treatment for Bed Bugs in Manchester, Stockport & Cheshire

Manchester Bed Bug Pest Control – Bedbugs

Manchester Bedbugs are becoming a substantial problem all over the world.  The rapid growth of this problem stems from the fact that they spread easily and are hard to treat.

In order to control bedbug problems, people need to know what to look for.  They also need to know how important it is to deal with bedbugs as soon as they are discovered. Bedbugs feed on blood; human blood and mammal blood.  Bed bugs do readily transmit diseases; their bites are distressing to humans and can cause wide-spread irritation.  Bed bugs tend to bite multiple times and can cause   itching a severe rash and itch terribly.

Information: where to look and what to look for.

Bedbugs are normally found in bedrooms but can also be found in other rooms, hiding in cracks and crevices.  Their favourite hiding places are in mattress seams, in the frame of the bed, behind the headboard and in places where the wall and the floor meet. They can also be found behind peeling wallpaper, under carpets and behind skirting boards.  They grow to be approximately 5mm in length and are light brown and oval shaped. After they have fed, they tend to be a little rounder in shape and a little darker in colour.

Bedbugs are nocturnal and are attracted to the carbon dioxide in our breath as well as our body heat. Dark staining of a mattress indicates an established infestation of bedbugs; the dark stain caused by the excreta of the bedbugs.  Bedbugs also excrete an unpleasant scent and this too can be smelt in rooms that have an established infestation of bedbugs.  The presence of bedbugs can also be corroborated when small droplets of blood are found on the sheets.
