Understanding Bedbugs in Wigmore: How to Spot and Eliminate Them
Bedbugs are one of the most persistent pests found in homes across Wigmore and surrounding Kent areas. These small, flat insects feed on human blood at night, and while they don’t spread disease, their bites can cause irritation, sleeplessness, and emotional stress. At Pest Control Kent 24, we help residents and businesses eliminate bedbugs quickly and discreetly using proven, safe treatments.
How Bedbug Infestations Begin
Most infestations in Wigmore start from travel or second-hand furniture. Bedbugs are hitchhikers — they latch onto luggage, bedding, or clothing and spread easily between rooms, flats, and houses. Even the cleanest home can become infested if these pests are introduced unknowingly.
They hide in:
- Mattress seams, bed frames, and headboards
- Behind skirting boards and loose wallpaper
- Inside sofas, drawers, and electrical sockets
- Carpets and curtain folds
Because of their flat shape, bedbugs can hide in spaces as thin as a credit card, making them difficult to spot without professional help.
Signs of Bedbugs in Your Wigmore Home
If you notice any of the following, you may have an active bedbug problem:
- Itchy red bites, often in rows or clusters
- Tiny blood stains or dark specks on sheets and mattresses
- A musty, sweet smell in bedrooms
- Small shed skins or live bedbugs near beds or furniture

Frequently Asked Questions About Bedbugs
1. Can bedbugs survive through winter?
Yes. Bedbugs can survive for months without feeding, so they often go dormant in colder months until they sense warmth or carbon dioxide from nearby hosts.
2. Do bedbugs only live in beds?
No. Despite the name, they can live in furniture, walls, and even electrical outlets — anywhere dark and close to human activity.
3. How long does treatment take?
Most infestations are resolved within one or two treatments depending on severity. Our technician will recommend the best plan for your property.
4. Are your treatments safe for pets and children?
Absolutely. We use approved professional-grade products that are safe once dry, along with optional non-toxic heat treatments.
5. Can I prevent bedbugs from returning?
Regular inspection after travel, avoiding second-hand mattresses, and sealing cracks around skirting boards can help. Our team also offers follow-up prevention advice.
