Bed Bugs are a pest that potentially threatens everyone and can be found in any type of human environment not only in our homes hotels and hostels but also on buses and trains and in cinemas or offices etc. Bedbugs will not only hide in beds and soft furniture, but behind picture frames, electrical fittings, loose, wallpaper or in any crack or crevice they can find.

Bedbugs are nocturnal hiding during the day and only coming out to feed in the small hours on human blood taking between 3 and 15 minutes to complete their grisly meal.
