How to Spot Bed Bugs: Signs of an Infestation
Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are often experts at staying hidden, but they do leave clues. Knowing what to look for can help you identify a problem early, making eradication quicker and easier. Keep an eye out for these common signs:
- Bites: Itchy red welts, often appearing in lines or clusters, typically on exposed skin like arms, legs, neck, and face.
- Blood Spots: Small, rust-coloured spots on your sheets, mattress, or bed frame – these are usually from crushed bed bugs or feeding.
- Faecal Spots: Tiny, dark brown or black spots, about the size of a pinhead, which are bed bug droppings. These can be found on mattresses, bedding, walls, or even furniture.
- Shed Skins: As bed bugs grow, they moult, leaving behind translucent, empty skins that look like tiny, hollow bed bugs.
- Live Bed Bugs: Though small (adults are about the size of an apple pip), you might spot them in mattress seams, cracks in bed frames, or behind skirting boards.
- Musty Odour: In severe infestations, a sweet, sickly, or musty smell might be noticeable.
If any of these signs sound familiar, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Who We Are
The Moorlander Approach to Bed Bug Eradication
Getting rid of bed bugs effectively requires a meticulous and professional approach. At Moorlander Pest Control, our bed bug treatment process is thorough, designed to eliminate all life stages, from eggs to adult bed bugs. Here’s what our service entails:
- Detailed Inspection: Our technicians will carry out a comprehensive survey of your property, meticulously checking bed frames, mattresses, carpets, skirting boards, electrical sockets, and other potential harbourage areas to confirm the presence and extent of the infestation.
- Targeted Treatment: We use professional-grade insecticides that are far more potent and effective than anything you can buy over the counter. These products are carefully applied to all known and suspected hiding places, ensuring maximum impact on the bed bug population.
- Multiple Applications: Bed bug eggs are resilient. To ensure complete eradication, we typically schedule a follow-up visit (or visits) to treat any newly hatched bed bugs, breaking their life cycle for good.
- Expert Advice: We provide clear, practical guidance on pre-treatment preparation (like laundry and decluttering) and post-treatment care to maximise the treatment's success and prevent re-infestation. We’ll empower you with the knowledge to help us help you.
