Bed Bug Infestation
Bed bug infestations are on the rise and can be easily spread using luggage or even on humans to move to new feed sources. They can be prolific through flats, terraced and semi detached houses as they will follow pipe work and wiring from one property to another to find a blood host to feed from. If you think you have bed bugs be sure to get rid of them quickly before the infestation gets worse.

What Our Clients Think
I was most impressed with the prompt timing, they arrived when they said they would and an invoice system so you don't have to pay there and then. The best bit there are no more wasps.
They treat the bugs with both steam (bed bugs die with high heat contact) and also a chemical. So double trouble for the little bitters.
Although it is only 2 days after the first treatment I am hopeful as we only had a very small gathering of them.
Would highly recommend Eraserpest for any pest control situation you may have. Professional, clean, good communication and friendly.
Thank you for your help!
