Bedbugs

Why they’re a problem

  • Bites cause itchy welts, irritation & sleepless nights

  • Difficult to eliminate, they can survive months without feeding

  • Spread easily in hotels, apartments & public transport

  • Hidden infestations can grow quickly if not treated early

  • Carry a social stigma even though anyone can get them

Where they thrive

  • Warm indoor environments such as mattresses, bed frames, sofas, luggage & furniture joints

  • Often introduced through travel, guests or second-hand furniture

Common signs to look out for

  • Red, itchy bites in lines or clusters on exposed skin

  • Rust-coloured blood spots on sheets or mattress seams

  • Shed skins or tiny eggs in cracks and seams

  • A musty, sweet smell in severe infestations

  • Visible insects (4–5 mm, flat, reddish-brown and wingless) near sleeping areas

Health & comfort concerns

  • Sleep disruption & anxiety about being bitten

  • Scratching may lead to secondary skin infections

How they spread

  • Through luggage, clothing, furniture, shared walls & visitors

  • Hitchhiking from hotels to homes is very common
