Confirm the likely pest first
Bites alone do not reliably identify bed bugs or fleas. Useful evidence includes insects, cast skins, spotting, eggs and the location or timing of activity.
Bed bug signs
Check mattress seams, bed frames, nearby furniture and gaps for live insects, spotting and cast skins.
Flea signs
Fleas often occur around pet bedding, carpets, floor edges and shaded resting areas.
Apartment spread
Bed bugs can move with belongings and may require careful inspection of adjoining areas.
Pet coordination
Flea control may require veterinary treatment for pets at the same time as the property.
Preparation affects results
Instructions vary by pest and treatment. Avoid moving items between rooms before receiving advice, as this can spread bed bugs. For fleas, vacuuming and coordinated pet treatment may form part of the plan.
Follow-up may be required
Eggs and concealed harbourages can make biting-pest treatments more involved than routine pest control. Beau will explain the treatment sequence and any follow-up requirements.
