FAQs

Can I treat bed bugs on my own?

While there are DIY bed bug treatment methods available, professional assistance is recommended due to the challenging nature of bed bug infestations. DIY approaches may include the use of insecticides, mattress encasements, and thorough cleaning, but success can be limited depending on the severity of the infestation. It’s no substitute for bed bug pest control!

What is the best way to get rid of bed bugs?

The best way to get rid of bed bugs is to hire a licensed pest control professional such as Total Pest Control. We have the industry expertise and tools to assess the extent of the infestation and implement an effective bed bug treatment plan. Our professionals utilise heat treatment for bed bugs and prevention methods which are proven to fully eradicate these pests. 

Are bed bugs caused by poor hygiene?

No, bed bugs are not solely caused by poor hygiene. Bed bugs are attracted to warmth, carbon dioxide, and the scent of humans, not filth. While clutter and disarray can provide hiding spots for bed bugs, cleanliness alone is not a deterrent. Bed bugs can be found in both clean and less tidy environments and are hard to tackle. Contact a bed bug exterminator today. 

What is the number one cause of bed bugs?

Bed bugs primarily infest new locations by hitchhiking, commonly through travel where they can attach to luggage and clothing. The risk increases when used furniture, especially mattresses and couches, is introduced without proper inspection. Shared living spaces, like apartments, houses and hotels with high human traffic, are particularly vulnerable to bed bug infestations.
