Why You Need Professional Bed Bug Control
Bed bugs are one of the most stressful pests to deal with. They’re small, good at hiding, and spread easily between rooms and properties. Once they’re established, they don’t go away on their own.
Bed bugs feed on blood, usually at night, and their bites can cause itching, irritation and loss of sleep. In shared buildings such as flats, HMOs, hotels and care settings, they can quickly move between units if not dealt with properly.
DIY sprays and online treatments rarely solve the problem. Bed bugs hide deep inside mattresses, bed frames, skirting boards, sockets and furniture joints. Shop-bought products often kill a few visible insects but leave eggs untouched, leading to repeat infestations weeks later.
At Strathclyde Pest Control, we deal with bed bug cases regularly across Glasgow and Lanarkshire. Ben, our lead technician, carries out the inspection himself, identifying where the bugs are hiding and putting together a treatment plan that actually works. Our approach is thorough, discreet and designed to prevent the problem returning.
