What are Bed Bugs and what do they do?

Bed Bugs are small, oval parasites that feed on human blood. Aptly named, bed bugs live around the seams of mattresses and headboards. However, they can also live in small dark spaces, including the back of furniture, a chest of drawers and even a crack in the wall. The reddish-brown insect measures at around 5mm in length and can leave bites all over the body, in which can cause great irritation, escalating when scratched.

How do I tell if I have a Bed Bug problem?

Some of the most effective ways of identifying if you have a bed bug problem can include:

• The appearance of black dirt on flooring, walls, around seams of mattresses and headboards.
• Numerous irritating bites, all over the body.
• Small, reddish-brown to black bugs in small spaces such as a crack in the wall.

TDC Pest Fact: Bed bugs can withstand a wide range of temperatures from nearly freezing to almost 113 degrees Fahrenheit.

How can Bed Bugs be treated?

Bed Bugs can be treated by a TDC Pest Controller from use of a water-based insecticide spray. Ideally, a bed bug infestation should be treated in the morning. This is because it is more likely that the insecticide will settle, as well as minimising risk of inhalation. Consequently, it is important that the treated premises is vacated for at least four hours after the treatment. Bed bugs can contaminate an entire property so it is very important that as much of the area as possible is treated.

The types of cockroaches that are subject to pest control and what they do

There are two types of cockroaches treated by our pest controllers:

German cockroaches are light brown in colour with a wing base, and are approximately 1.5cm in length. These types of cockroaches are usually found in warm, moist environments, such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Oriental cockroaches are smooth with a black coloured body. They have no wing base and measure at approximately 2.5cm. Oriental cockroaches are often found in terraced housing, infecting entire blocks of properties as the move throughout the beams and rafters.

Although there are many differences in the species cockroaches that are treated by our pest controllers, an infestation can be unsightly and should be treated efficiently by a pest control professional to ensure they do not return.

Do cockroaches fly?

Many species of cockroaches have wings but not all are good at flying. There are several species in which use their wings to glide from higher altitudes to lower surfaces, with a number of other species capable of flying short distances. German cockroaches in particular have fully developed wings, but they do not fly. Equally, oriental cockroaches do not have a winged base in order to fly, and prefer to move through the beams and rafters in a property, infecting entire blocks.

What are Silver fish and what do they do?

Silver fish are a teardrop shaped insect varying in colour from white to brown grey with some blue-ish silver tones. They have two long antennas on their head and three very prominent ‘tails’ at the end. Measuring at around 12-19mm in length and with quick movement, these household pests are known for surviving in almost any environment. They prefer dark, damp areas and female silver fish can lay between 2-20 eggs at a time. Silver fish are a year round problem that feed on carbohydrates, including linen, book bindings, cellulose and dead insects; once they find a sufficient source of food they will remain in the same area.

How can I tell if I have a Silver fish problem?

There are a few ways of identifying if you have a silver fish infestation in your property. If you have noticed some of the following signs, it could mean you need an infestation treated by a professional pest controller:

• Finding exoskeletons (Silver fish malt throughout their lives).
• Noticing irregular shaped holes in fabrics or wallpaper, the latter is a strong indication as they like to eat the glue.

• Finding yellow stains on fabric, especially in dark and humid climates.
