bed bug CONTROL

NEWCASTLE & SURROUNDING AREAS

My name is Alexa Young

Alto Pro Pest Control is one of Newcastle's most trusted companies providing effective bed bug removal services at an affordable cost.

Bedbugs are commonly found on beds or mattresses, and feed on human blood and other warm-blooded hosts. They are small, oval shaped, wingless insects that grow up to 5mm in length. Bedbugs have highly developed mouth parts that can pierce skin. Their bite is painless. Some people do not react to the bites, but for others the bites can become itchy and swell into reddened welts.

High standards of hygiene and housekeeping alone are unlikely to fully control an infestation. Alto Pro Pest Control is your solution for efficient and quick bed bug eradication. Our fully licensed and experienced technicians can faciliate bed bug removal treatments, eliminating these pests at all stages of their lifecycle.

How to tell if you have a bed bug problem?

Bed bug infestations are becoming more common in Newcastle. They hide in dark places during the day, including in mattress seams and carpets, behind curtains and furniture, and between floorboards. If you think you have a bed bug issue, these are some of the things to look out for:

Live bed bugs

An unpleasant sweet smell

Blood spots on your sheets or mattress

Red itchy spots on skin

Shed skin, which looks a lot like the bugs themselves

Tiny pale yellow eggs or eggshells

how to get rid of bed bugs

Bed bugs are extremely difficult to control on your own, due to being hard to see and their ability to breed and spread very quickly. We recommend booking in with a professional to fully eradicate these pesky little pests. However, there are some steps you can take to reduce the infestation.

Wash your bedding, curtains, and clothing in hot water and dry them on the highest dryer setting.
Vacuum your bed and the area around it reguarly.
Reduce hiding places for bed bugs.
Repair any cracks in plaster or peeling wallpaper to reduce hiding places.
Get rid of clutter around your bed, and move your bed away from your walls and other furniture.

While prevention is key, there are times when infestations can be unavoidable or difficult to control. Currently, there is no replacement for a professional bed bug control treatment, so give Alto Pro a call today to see how our team can help.
