This pest can be difficult to spot because of their nocturnal habits. The most obvious sign of bed bugs are bites on the skin that can become itchy and swollen for some time and specks of blood left on the bedding.

Bed bugs thrive in our homes. They feed on our blood, but when they lack a ‘host’ can lie dormant for up to 18 months. If well-fed they will live for 6-9 months, and the female lays some 150 eggs that hatch in 10-20 days, reaching adulthood as quickly as nine weeks – it’s not difficult to imagine just how easy a bed bug infestation builds. And they are becoming a growing problem, particularly when we have stayed in hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs, and bring them home in our bags.
