Expert Bed Bug Extermination
Bed bugs (scientifically known as Cimex Lectularius Linnaeus) are parasitic insects that seek refuge in bedding during the day and feed on occupants' blood at night. Those itchy bites you wake up to every morning could be bed bug infestation signs that need immediate attention.
We offer specialised bed bug control services in Sri Lanka, designed to eradicate these unwanted intruders with a range of treatment options including heat treatment, steam treatment, and CO2 freezing.
Causes of Bed Bug Infestations
Bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers and can be introduced to your property through various means:
Travel: Bed bugs often hide in luggage, clothing, and personal items when staying in infested hotels or accommodations.
Second-hand Furniture: Used mattresses, sofas, and furniture can harbour bed bugs and their eggs.
Neighboring Infestations: Bed bugs can migrate through wall voids, electrical conduits, and plumbing from adjacent units.
Visitors: Guests can unknowingly bring bed bugs into your home or business.
How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs
We offer a range of effective bed bug treatment methods:
Heat Treatment: Uses elevated temperatures without chemicals to eradicate bed bugs from homes, condos, apartments, and hotels. This method is highly effective and safe for occupants.
Steam Treatment: Uses saturated and dry steam superheated to 180°C, a low environmental impact method that kills bed bugs without insecticides. Steam can be directed into nesting areas that are difficult to treat.
CO2 Freezing: Pressurised CO2 snow is applied in thin layers, killing bed bugs by rapid freezing of the fluids in their cells. The CO2 evaporates, leaving no residue.
Contact Insecticides: Used on surfaces which come into frequent human contact, such as fabricated furniture.
Residual Insecticides: Used for treating bugs within furniture cracks and crevices and underneath surfaces.
Note: No chemical treatment can treat unhatched bed bug eggs. A second treatment is needed two weeks after the initial treatment, once the eggs have hatched.
