Note the picture below of a bed base - heavily infested with bed bugs from a job in Hornchurch, Essex (which we removed from the flat). This picture was taken during a successful bed bug treatment by MG Pest Control.

BUT - How do you get bed bugs?

1. These days, times are hard for many, and people buy secondhand goods. The problem with this is that you significantly increase your chance of bringing in pests, especially bed bugs. Be careful if you decide to buy secondhand, as this could end up costing you a fair bit to fix.

2. Or, you may have stayed somewhere, that has a bed bug issue. You may then bring home some bed bugs in your luggage. When you stay somewhere check the bed carefully, looking for signs of bed bugs. Note the pictures below of some of the signs, and what bed bugs look like.

3. Perhaps you have just moved into a new property - that already has an issue?
