Cimex lectularius
Reddish-brown blood-feeders that hide in mattress seams and furniture, feeding at night — extremely difficult to eliminate without professional treatment.
4–5 mm (adult)
Reddish-brown, oval, flat, and wingless. Darkens after a blood meal.
Feed exclusively on blood from humans and warm-blooded animals. Most active at night; can survive weeks without feeding.
Hide in mattress seams, headboards, baseboards, and electrical outlets. Spread through luggage, used furniture, and shared walls.
Bedrooms, hotels, hostels, cinemas, and any location with regular human rest. Presence is unrelated to cleanliness.
Bites cause itching, sleep disturbance, and anxiety. They are not known to transmit disease but secondary skin infections are common.
Every bed bugs engagement follows our proven three-step methodology — tailored precisely to this pest.
Inspect mattress seams, bed frames, baseboards, and adjacent furniture for live bugs, eggs, and stains.
Combine targeted insecticides, professional steam/heat treatment, mattress encasements, and laundering at high heat.
Re-inspect at 2 and 6 weeks to break the egg-hatch cycle and confirm eradication.
