Bed bugs are among the most stressful pests to deal with — sneaky, persistent, and quick to spread. Whether you’ve just spotted one crawling across your mattress or you're waking up with unexplained bites, acting fast is essential.
In this guide, you'll learn how to identify an infestation, where bed bugs hide, and how to get rid of bed bugs effectively using a proven multi-step treatment plan, including our HSE-approved Bed Bug Killer Spray with professional-grade results.
What Causes Bed Bugs in the Home?
Bed bugs are tiny, flat, brownish insects that feed on human blood — typically while you sleep. They can easily be brought into your home via:
- Luggage after staying in hotels or Airbnb properties
- Used mattresses or second-hand furniture
- Public transport or shared laundry facilities
Once inside, bed bugs hide in mattress seams, bed frames, furniture joints, and cracks in the walls or floor. They’re excellent at staying out of sight — only coming out at night to feed.
Common Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation
Think you might have bed bugs? Look out for:
-
Red, itchy bites — often in lines or clusters, usually on arms, neck, or legs
-
Small dark stains on sheets or mattresses (droppings or blood)
-
Shed skins or egg shells in mattress seams or corners of furniture
-
Live bugs, about the size and shape of an apple seed
- A musty, sweet odour in heavily infested rooms
⚠️ Important: Bed bug bites can take up to 14 days to appear. It’s common to think you’re still being bitten after treatment, when in reality, those bites occurred days or even weeks before.
How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs in Your Home: Step-by-Step
Eradicating bed bugs requires a strategic approach that targets every stage of their lifecycle. Adult bugs, eggs, and nymphs must all be dealt with to stop the infestation for good.
Step 1: Use a Residual Insecticide Spray
Our Bed Bug Killer Spray is specially formulated with cypermethrin, a fast-acting insecticide used by professionals. It kills bed bugs on contact and leaves behind a residual layer that continues working long after application.
Why it works:
✅ Kills adult bed bugs instantly
✅ Interrupts breeding to halt the lifecycle
✅ Residual protection prevents reinfestation
✅ HSE-approved for safe use in domestic environments
✅ Available in 500ml and 1L trigger spray bottles
⚠️ Do not use the spray on bed linen, bedding, or areas where pets regularly lie. It is safe to use on mattresses, carpets, bed frames, and non-porous hard surfaces when applied as directed.
Where to Spray for Bed Bugs
-
Mattresses – Focus on seams, edges, and stitching, where bed bugs love to hide
-
Bed frames and slats – Spray all joints and cracks
-
Carpets and flooring – Especially around the bed and under furniture
-
Hard surfaces – Skirting boards, behind furniture, and baseboards
Allow treated surfaces to fully dry before re-entering or using the room.
Step 2: Wash & Heat-Treat Soft Furnishings
- Strip all bedding, clothing, and curtains and wash at 60°C or above
- Tumble dry on high heat where possible
- Seal clean items in bags until treatment is complete
Heat is highly effective at killing bed bugs, eggs, and larvae.
Step 3: Deep Clean the Affected Room
-
Vacuum floors, furniture, and around the bed thoroughly
- Use the nozzle attachment to target crevices, joints, and mattress edges
- Immediately empty the vacuum outdoors into a sealed bag
- For added peace of mind, use a steam cleaner on soft furnishings and corners
Step 4: Repeat Spray Treatment in 7–10 Days
Bed bug eggs can hatch after your initial treatment. For best results, reapply the spray after 7–10 days to ensure any newly emerged bugs are killed before they can breed.
