There are some “home remedies’ to be found, but they won’t work; many of them can even be dangerous and life-threatening for the people and pets in the home. It takes very specific treatment to control bed bug populations.

From inspection to treatment, the process requires a professionally trained eye. Bed bugs are crafty, hiding in cracks, crevices, and holes out of sight. Lucky for you our pest control technicians know just where to look. After all, we have had over 5 years to perfect the craft!

Seeing a pest is the best indicator of its presence, but that is particularly hard when it comes to bed bugs. They are small, generally active at night, and have the sense to hide when in danger. Rather than looking for the bugs themselves, many people first detect bed bugs from signs like:

Bites – Bed bug bites form flat, red marks on the skin not unlike most other bug bites. They are usually found clustered in groups of three or more and often in close to a straight line. Depending on the person, the bites might be itchy and irritating or might have no symptoms. They can also be anywhere on the body, which is less common with mosquito bites.

Fecal Spots – Small reddish-brown stains can indicate bed bugs. These stains will be found in crevices of fabric and upholstery.

Discarded Skins – As they grow, bed bugs will shed their skins. The leftover shells can collect beneath beds and furniture and around baseboards.

Musty Odor – As the infestation grows, the bugs’ pheromones will cause a musty scent. This odor means the infestation is very advanced.

Even with some signs, the bugs can still be difficult to locate. A trained exterminator can carefully go through an entire property to find every hiding spot for the bed bug infestation in order to determine the best plan for treatment.

Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are parasites of man as they feed on blood. Adult bed bugs are 4-5mm in length, flat and oval in shape and red-brown in colour. They do not like bright light so are usually found in cracks and crevices in headboards, bed frames and in the stitching around the edge of mattress. Eggs are white and approx 1mm long. Bed bug numbers have seen a considerable increase in Lagos, due to a change in people's travel habits. Infestations often occur as a result of bed bugs being brought in from journey in baggage or on clothing.

Bedbugs are introduced into a residential home through the process of clinging on to cloth fabric of furniture and even shirts or dresses. They're able to propagate among residences through simply connecting with friends and relatives by means of everyday visits, going on the bus, and/or bringing plagued library books directly into the property or home.

Bans relating to specific insecticides, visiting new countries around the world and buying used clothing and/or pieces of furniture have now brought bedbugs directly into our dwellings. Once they get within the inside, it's very hard to get these bugs out. Do it yourself alternatives aren't effective and additionally, relocating and/or tossing beloved bed mattresses and furniture pieces away just isn't an economically sound option for most people.

Because bed bugs are parasites, they feed on their host—in this case, humans. Although a bite by a bed bug will not be life-threatening for most people in Nigeria, a bed bugs bite still causes a red, itchy rash. This rash will appear in exposed parts of your body, such as your legs, arms, hands, face, neck, and shoulders.
Most people do not receive anything more serious than a rash from bed bugs. However, some people are allergic, and their reactions to a bed bugs' bite can be severe. Plus, because the bites are itchy, they may lead to secondary infection, especially in populations like children and the elderly who are more prone to excessive scratching.

These bugs have existed for thousands of years and have honed their bug hitchhiking and hiding skills to perfection. They will have been unknowingly picked up from existing bedbug infestations - attaching themselves to your clothing, bags, backpacks, luggage, or hiding inside fabrics, furnishings, and cracks and crevices in used furniture.
The most common species of bed bug in the Nigeria is Cimex lectularius. Males and females are blood-sucking and will take a blood feed from people, but female bed bugs tend to bite more frequently as they need the blood to develop their eggs.
They are an increasing problem worldwide, because as people travel for both business and leisure, the chances of encountering bedbug infestations and inadvertently spreading them increases. These pests are also becoming an increasing issue in student accommodation, care homes and apartments, as once established they can move easily between rooms, spreading a bed bug infestation to other areas.
Bed Bug Facts
• Bed bugs lay 200 – 500 eggs over a two month period in batches of 10 - 50.
• Adult females must have a blood meal from warm-blooded mammals, such as people before egg-laying.
• Eggs are usually hidden in cracks and crevices and can be attached to infested items of furniture, fittings or soft furnishings such as mattress seams, box springs, bed linen and other items, in clusters by a transparent substance.
• There are 7 stages to the lifecycle from egg to fully grown adult bug which can be from 45 days, but may take up to a year.
• The typical lifespan of a bedbug is about 50 days to over a year depending on favorable conditions.
• They can survive for weeks to months without feeding, waiting for a human host.
Bed Bug Signs
The first signs of a bed bug infestation is likely to be waking up with bed bug bites on your arms, legs, torso and other parts of the body, often appearing as raised wheals. A bedbug requires a blood meal at regular intervals and when they bite, they inject chemicals to ensure the blood flows. This includes an anticoagulant and an anaesthetic so you don’t feel the bites and the blood does not clot too quickly. They need two things: a safe harbourage to hide in and to feed on blood. A bed bug’s anatomy is designed to do these two things. Common signs of bedbugs are:
• Shed skins - bed bugs go through several stages of their life cycles, leaving behind their shed skins as they grow from nymphs to adults.
• Faecal spots - leaving faecal deposits that look like tiny black dots from a felt tip pen behind, on bedding, mattress seams, headboards, baseboards, bed frames and other infested areas.
• Blood spots - the bugs can become crushed and leave behind blood spots or the bites they leave on you can bleed. Tiny spots of blood on the sheets are a tell-tale sign.
• Odours - in a very heavy, well established infestation, even a human nose can detect the unpleasant, somewhat sweet smell of a bed bug invasion. Bedbugs also give off a hormonal scent when disturbed. Dogs can spot these scents with smaller infestations and much easier than people.
• Bedbug - if you look in the right hiding places, like gaps under skirting and baseboards, cracks and crevices in furniture, mattress seams etc... you can also find live bugs. They are very small and sometimes hard to see, not much bigger than an oval-shaped, reddish-brown apple seed in some life stages, but our highly trained pest technicians, know their habits and how to find them.

How do you know if you have bedbugs

Fecal stains or rust-colored dark spots, egg cases, and shed skins (exuviae) of bedbugs in crevices and cracks on or near beds are suggestive of infestations, but only observing the bugs themselves can confirm an active infestation. A professional pest-control company may be required to help identify and remove bedbugs from the home.

What home remedies and medications treat and get rid of bedbugs?

Home remedies for bedbug bites include measures to control itching, such as oatmeal baths or cool compresses. Typically, no treatment is required for bedbug bites. If itching is severe, steroid creams or oral antihistamines may be used for symptom relief.

Getting rid of bed bugs is not an easy process, and most cases of bed bug infestation will require treatment by a pest-control expert. A variety of low-odor sprays, dusts, and aerosol insecticides can be used to eradicate bed bugs. These must be applied to all areas where the bugs are observed as well as spaces where they may crawl or hide. The pest-control company can help you determine if the mattress can be disinfected or must be discarded. Since beds cannot readily be treated with insecticides, it’s often necessary to discard infested mattresses and beds. The pest-control expert may recommend certain forms of deep-cleaning such as scrubbing infested surfaces with a stiff brush to remove eggs, dismantling bed frames and furniture, filling cracks in floors, walls, and moldings, encasing mattresses within special bags, or using a powerful vacuum on cracks and crevices.

Removing bedbugs
Bedbugs measure just 5 millimeters across—smaller than a pencil eraser. These bugs are smart, tough, and they reproduce quickly. Bedbugs know where to hide to avoid detection, they can live for months between meals, and a healthy female can lay 500 eggs in her lifetime.
No surprise that these tiny bloodsuckers can wreak a lot of havoc in your home. If they get into bed with you, they can leave red, itchy welts all over your body.
Fortunately, you can get rid of bedbugs. Be patient as removing bedbugs often takes some time and effort. You may have to try a few different chemical and non-chemical approaches, especially if you have a large infestation.
Certain factors can make bedbugs harder to remove. You may have a tougher time ridding your home of them if you have a lot of clutter, or you travel often and bring new bedbugs home in your luggage.
If you can’t rid your home on your own, you may have to call in a professional exterminator. Read on for a step-by-step guide on getting rid of bedbugs.
Step 1: Identify all infested areas
If you’ve got bedbugs, you want to find them early before they start to reproduce. It’s much easier—and cheaper—to treat a small infestation than a big one. Yet smaller infestations can be harder to detect.
Search for bedbugs yourself, or hire a professional to do an inspection. Some inspectors use specially trained dogs to hunt down bedbugs by scent.
Bedbugs’ small, narrow bodies enable them to squeeze into tiny spots—like the seams of a mattress or couch, and the folds of curtains.
Also look for them in places like these:
• near the tags of the mattress and box spring
• in cracks in the bed frame and headboard
• in baseboards
• between couch cushions
• in furniture joints
• inside electrical outlets
• under loose wallpaper
• underneath paintings and posters on the walls
• in the seam where the wallpaper and ceiling meet
Use a flashlight and magnifying glass to go over all of these areas.
You can spot bedbugs by these signs:
• live bedbugs, which are reddish and about ¼-inch long
• dark spots about the size of a period—these are bedbug droppings
• reddish stains on your mattress from bugs that have been crushed
• small, pale yellow eggs, egg shells, and yellowish skins that young bedbugs shed
Once you find a bedbug, put it in a sealed jar along with 1 teaspoon of rubbing alcohol. Other types of bugs can look a lot like bedbugs. If you’re not sure what type of bug you’ve found, bring it to an exterminator or entomologist to identify.

Bedbugs have become more common and are on the rise from one house to another, according to Environ, with the cause for this rise due to the amount of non-permanent residences, rented properties and travel occurring in the capital. This becomes the perfect breeding ground for bedbugs, and Lagos is the hotspot for bedbug infestation. The more human traffic there is, the higher the risk of bedbugs. Spotting signs of bedbugs is crucial to begin the extermination process. When a person sees these little black spots it could be a sign of bedbugs.
For a person who is fearing about whether they may have bed bugs or not, there are a few ways to determine.
Other than clusters of bites on the upper body, the only other major evidence bedbugs leave are small black spots of faecal matter which are no larger than a pinprick.
These black spots may be found in trails to and from where a person sleeps or in clusters around the bugs hiding places.
Other signs of bedbugs:
• Bites that are often on areas that exposed when sleeping like the face, neck and arms
• Spots of blood on the bedding from the bites or from squashing them
• Small brown spots on bedding or furniture
• An offensive, musty odour
• Egg shells
Bedbugs are small, oval, brownish insects that live on the blood of animals or humans.

Bed bugs are small, flat insects that feed on the blood of people and animals when they sleep. Bed bugs are experts at hiding; their slim flat bodies allow them to fit into the smallest of spaces and stay there for long periods of time, even without a food source. Bed bugs are usually transported from place to place as people travel.
Bed bugs are not a sign of a dirty home or poor personal hygiene and are not known to spread disease, but can be an annoyance because their presence may cause itching and loss of sleep. If you think you may have bed bugs, it's very important to do a thorough inspection, and to begin treatment as soon as possible. Treating a bed bug infestation early will save time and expense. Please read below for important information on how to deal with bed bugs.
How do you know if you have bed bugs?
If you have itchy skin and insect bites, you may have bed bugs in your home. You may see three or four bites on your skin in a straight line or grouped together. Bed bugs are more likely to bite exposed skin on your arms, legs and back. Also look for small black stains on your sheets, pillows or mattress seams and look for live or dead bed bugs, eggs, or eggshells. Bed bugs may also hide in the cracks of your furniture.
How do bed bugs spread?
Without knowing it, you may bring bed bugs into your home in suitcases or handbags, or on your clothing. You may bring them in on furniture, especially used mattresses and other used items. Bed bugs can also travel between apartments in a building. Don't feel embarrassed if these bugs move in with you. Having bed bugs does not mean your home is dirty. Dirt does not attract bed bugs, but clutter makes it easier for them to hide.
How can you stop bed bugs from coming into your home?
Bed bugs are great hitchhikers. They can move from an infested site to a new home by traveling on furniture, bedding, luggage, boxes, and clothing.
If you have bed bugs, vacuum your home regularly, seal the vacuum bag tightly and get rid of it in a trash can outside.
Avoid buying used mattresses, sofas, or chairs because they may have bed bugs.
Tenant Responsibility
• When you see bed bugs, notify your landlord immediately.

Bed bugs are the small nocturnal insects that multiply speedily if not eliminated quickly. These creepy bugs can infest every corner of your house. They belong to Cimicidae family, which feed on blood and are
commonly found in warm temperature places. Bed bugs are active only during the night hours, according to research since they are very shy. To hide themselves in the day time, they use desks, drapery, linens, nightstands, headboards, mattresses, artwork frames and clothing. A bed bug pierces the skin of warm blooded individuals and draws blood using its two hollow tubes and feeds on the body of a host for five minutes.
Getting rid of bed bugs can be very difficult. Although there are various severe chemicals that can be used which are quite expensive, they just might be causing harm to you and your family. It is very possible to get rid of these bugs in an all natural chemical-free, eco-friendly and pocket-friendly method.
You should note that bed bugs were once a common public health pest worldwide, declining in incidence through the mid 20th century. However, bed bugs have undergone a dramatic, worldwide resurgence since they have now evolved resistance to common insecticides. While hotels are high on the list of bed bug concerns, any public place can be a haven for bed bugs.
Bed bugs are one of the great travellers of the world and are readily transported via luggage, clothing, bedding and furniture.
To get rid of bed bugs, act at the first signs of infestation and use an integrated pest management approach involving prevention and sanitation. Bed bugs can be very persistent, so you will need to demonstrate a greater level of persistence if you want to eliminate them quickly. These DIY natural remedies will get rid of bed bugs in your home and (or) office and they are easy to carry out.
Cultivate a cleaning and containing habit
The very first step to getting rid of bed bugs in your home is by cultivating a regular cleaning habit. Bed bugs love a cool temperature and untidy places. Get rid of things you are not using anymore in your home. You can either throw them away or pack them inside a container. Also, wash your bedding and clothing at high temperature especially those that came in contact with the infested area; this will keep the bugs away from them. Examine
the corners of your mattresses regularly for signs of bugs. Try not to purchase second-hand furniture and mattresses as they are more prone to be infested. Avoid using pesticides and insecticides on toys or baby cribs also. Vacuum everything several times a week which includes anything that is made out of fibres, such as box springs, carpets, curtains, mattresses and upholstered items.
Mint leaves
Mint leaves are natural repellents to insects and most insects hate the smell of this plant and bed bugs are no exception. You can use mint leaves to prevent bed bugs from entering your homes.
All you need to do is crush some mint leaves into smaller pieces and sprinkle around the sleeping area or inside the cradleboard of small children. You can also put dried mint leaves packet between your linen closets and mattress. The mint leaf will dry up the bed bugs in no time. Repeat this exercise every 3-5 days for best results.

Bedbugs are small, oval, brownish insects that live on the blood of animals or humans. Adult bedbugs have flat bodies about the size of an apple seed. After feeding, however, their bodies swell and are a reddish color.
Bedbugs do not fly, but they can move quickly over floors, walls, and ceilings. Female bedbugs may lay hundreds of eggs, each of which is about the size of a speck of dust, over a lifetime.
Immature bedbugs, called nymphs, shed their skins five times before reaching maturity and require a meal of blood before each shedding. Under favorable conditions the bugs can develop fully in as little as a month and produce three or more generations per year.
Although they are a nuisance, they are not thought to transmit diseases.
Where Bed Bugs Hide
Bedbugs may enter your home undetected through luggage, clothing, used beds and couches, and other items. Their flattened bodies make it possible for them to fit into tiny spaces, about the width of a credit card. Bedbugs do not have nests like ants or bees, but tend to live in groups in hiding places. Their initial hiding places are typically in mattresses, box springs, bed frames, and headboards where they have easy access to people to bite in the night.
Over time, however, they may scatter through the bedroom, moving into any crevice or protected location. They may also spread to nearby rooms or apartments.
Because bedbugs live solely on blood, having them in your home is not a sign of dirtiness. You are as likely to find them in immaculate homes and hotel rooms as in filthy ones.
When Bedbugs Bite
Bedbugs are active mainly at night and usually bite people while they are sleeping. They feed by piercing the skin and withdrawing blood through an elongated beak. The bugs feed from three to 10 minutes to become engorged and then crawl away unnoticed.
Most bedbug bites are painless at first, but later turn into itchy welts. Unlike flea bites that are mainly around the ankles, bedbug bites are on any area of skin exposed while sleeping. Also, the bites do not have a red spot in the center like flea bites do.
People who don't realize they have a bedbug infestation may attribute the itching and welts to other causes, such as mosquitoes. To confirm bedbug bites, you must find and identify the bugs themselves.
