Bed bugs are nocturnal blood suckers and although not known to transmit any serious diseases, the bites prove very irritating.

Bites can often be identified as being in clusters.

It is important to try not to scrath the bites as this can lead to infections, it is suggested that you use:

• Ice packs
• Calamine Lotion
• Ansaethic Creams and soaps

What you can do

It is very important not to tranfer the Bed Bugs from one room to another.

• Gather all soft furnishings; bedding, clothing, soft toys, curtains, pillows and so on
