How to spot a bed bug infestation early

Bites in lines of three, tiny blood spots on sheets and a sweet musty smell are early warning signs. Catch it before the population doubles.

Bed bug populations double roughly every 16 days, so catching an infestation in week one instead of week six can be the difference between a single-room treatment and a whole-property job.

The three most reliable early signals are: bites appearing in short lines or clusters (often on arms, ankles or the back of the neck); small rust-coloured blood spots on sheets and mattress seams; and a faint sweet, musty smell in the bedroom.

If you're seeing any of these, book a free survey with us before the population doubles.
