Why Choose Us?
Recognising the Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation
Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are incredibly adept at hiding, making them a challenge to spot until an infestation takes hold. However, knowing what to look for can help you identify a problem early and act quickly. Keep an eye out for these common indicators:
- Itchy Bites: Often appearing in lines or clusters, typically on exposed skin while you sleep. These are usually the first sign people notice.
- Small Blood Stains: Tiny specks of blood on your sheets, pillowcases, or mattress. These are left behind when a bed bug has fed or been crushed.
- Dark Spots (Faecal Matter): Pin-prick sized black or brown spots, resembling ground black pepper, found along mattress seams, headboards, or skirting boards. This is bed bug excrement.
- Shed Skins: As bed bugs grow, they moult, leaving behind translucent, empty shells. You might find these in cracks and crevices.
- Musty Odour: In a heavily infested room, you might notice a distinct, sweet, musty smell.
- Actual Sightings: Small, flat, reddish-brown insects, about the size of an apple pip, particularly in mattress seams, cracks in bed frames, or behind furniture.
If you spot any of these signs, don't hesitate. The sooner you contact us, the more straightforward it is to get rid of bed bugs completely.

Who We Are
Our Professional Approach to Bed Bug Eradication
Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to eliminate through DIY methods. They are resistant to many over-the-counter products and can hide in the tiniest cracks, allowing them to evade amateur attempts. That's why a professional, multi-stage treatment is absolutely crucial for effective eradication. At Moorlander Pest Control, our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians follow a meticulous process to ensure your property in Sidmouth is completely free of these unwanted guests:
- Thorough Inspection: We begin with a detailed survey of your property, identifying all potential harborage points – from bed frames and mattresses to skirting boards, plug sockets, and even behind pictures.
- Targeted Insecticide Application: We use professional-grade insecticides specifically designed to tackle bed bugs at all life stages, including eggs, nymphs, and adults. These powerful products are not available to the public and are applied precisely to infested areas, adhering to strict safety guidelines.
- Follow-Up Treatments: Depending on the severity of the infestation, multiple visits might be necessary. We’ll schedule these strategically to disrupt the bed bug life cycle and ensure a thorough clearance.
- Expert Advice: We provide clear, actionable advice on pre-treatment preparation and post-treatment measures to maximise success and help prevent future infestations. This includes recommendations for laundering infested items or maintaining vacuuming routines.
Our goal isn't just to kill the visible bed bugs; it's to break their entire life cycle and ensure your property is completely free from these pests, giving you lasting relief.

While the idea of a DIY solution might be tempting, attempting to tackle a bed bug problem yourself rarely works and can often make the issue worse. Here’s why calling in an expert is the most effective and, in the long run, often the most cost-efficient choice for your home or business in Sidmouth:
- Complete Eradication, Not Just Control: Over-the-counter sprays typically kill only surface bed bugs, leaving hidden eggs and resistant individuals to re-infest. Our professional-grade products and techniques target every life stage, ensuring thorough eradication.
- Expert Knowledge: With 20 years of experience, our BPCA affiliated team possesses a deep understanding of bed bug biology and behaviour, knowing exactly where these elusive pests hide and how to reach them effectively.
- Safety First: We use professional equipment and apply treatments safely, minimising any risk to your family, pets, or employees. We also provide clear instructions for your peace of mind regarding re-entry and ventilation.

01822 668338Preparing Your Home or Business for Bed Bug Treatment
To achieve the best possible outcome from our bed bug treatment, your cooperation in preparing the affected area is incredibly important. We’ll provide a detailed checklist specific to your situation, but here are some general steps you can expect to take:
- Clear Clutter: Reduce clutter, especially around beds and sleeping areas, to allow our technicians full access to all potential hiding spots. This includes items under the bed and next to furniture.
- Launder Bedding & Clothes: Wash all bedding, curtains, and any affected clothing at a high temperature (60°C or above). Tumble dry on a high heat setting if possible. Once laundered, store these items in sealed plastic bags or containers to prevent re-infestation.
- Vacuum Thoroughly: Vacuum all carpets, rugs, mattresses, and upholstered furniture meticulously. Pay close attention to seams, cracks, and crevices. Immediately after vacuuming, empty the vacuum cleaner contents into a sealed bag and dispose of it outside your property.
- Move Furniture: Where possible and safe to do so, pull furniture away from walls to allow full access to skirting boards and wall cavities where bed bugs often hide.
Following these preparatory steps helps us target the infestation more effectively, significantly improving the success rate of the treatment and speeding up your return to a pest-free environment.
