Bed bugs turn up in Torquay homes after travel, secondhand furniture or visitors, and small rust coloured spots on the sheets or bites in a line on the skin are often the first thing people notice. They hide in mattress seams, bed frames, skirting boards and behind picture frames near the bed, coming out to feed while people sleep.
When you call, tell us which rooms are affected and how long you have noticed bites or marks, since bed bugs can spread to nearby rooms if left for a while. The crew we book inspects the bed frame, mattress seams, skirting boards and nearby furniture, then treats the areas where bed bugs are hiding rather than just the mattress itself.
Torquay short stay rentals and share houses with a steady turnover of guests are more likely to pick up bed bugs than a home that rarely has visitors. A local team that covers this area regularly checks soft furnishings, curtains and the gap between the bed head and the wall as well as the mattress.
Bed bugs do not carry disease, but the bites and disrupted sleep they cause are reason enough to deal with them properly. Checking seams of secondhand furniture before bringing it into the house, and inspecting luggage after staying somewhere new, can help avoid a repeat problem. If you manage a short-stay property around Torquay, ask about a plan for checking rooms between guests, since catching an issue early keeps it from spreading to other rooms.
