The increasing problem of bed bugs
Early detection is key to control
Bed bugs are everywhere, from youth hostels to luxury hotels. They are a significant and increasing global problem, driven by the return to pre-pandemic levels of travel, resistance to commonly used insecticides and climate change.
In the UK, reported bed bug incidents have more than doubled since the Paris outbreak, according to findings from Rentokil Initial, whilst bed bug callouts have soared by a fifth in London in a year.
Unfortunately, people are finding themselves in situations where they will, perhaps unknowingly, live alongside bed bugs.
With early and rapid detection of bed bugs, through active monitoring, these people are far less likely to be bitten and it will be much easier and quicker for the pest controller to treat an infestation.
