Bed bugs

Specific bed-bug protocol: inspection, treatment and follow-up to stop them spreading again.

What it is

Bed bugs feed on blood at night and hide in mattress seams, headboards and sockets. They travel in luggage and furniture.

Bites, insomnia and stigma. The longer you wait, the harder and more expensive the treatment.

Detailed inspection, authorised heat or chemical treatment and follow-up visits. We give before-and-after guidelines.

Check the bed after a trip. Do not take street furniture without inspecting it.

How do I know if I have bed bugs?

Bites in a line, dark stains on the mattress and small insects in seams or the headboard. A professional inspection confirms it.

Do I have to throw away the mattress?

Not always. Many cases are solved with treatment and encasements. We advise after inspection, without unnecessary cost.

Can bed bugs come from a hotel or a trip?

Yes. Check luggage and the bed when you return. If you stayed in a doubtful place in Girona or abroad, call early.

How many visits are needed for bed bugs?

Usually a two- or three-visit protocol with follow-up. Eggs and nymphs are why a single treatment is not enough.
