Bed Bug Removal & Treatment in Lancashire
Professional Bed Bug Treatment for Homes, Landlords and Businesses
Bed bugs are small reddish-brown insects that feed on blood and often hide close to where people sleep or rest. They can be found around mattresses, bed frames, headboards, bedside furniture, sofas, chairs and other cracks or crevices within a room.
If you have noticed bites, blood marks on bedding, dark spotting, shed skins or live insects, it is important to act quickly. Bed bugs can spread between rooms and are difficult to remove without the right treatment plan.

How Our Bed Bug Treatment Works
Bed bugs are difficult to remove because they hide in small cracks, mattress seams, bed frames, headboards, bedside furniture and other protected areas close to where people sleep or rest. A successful treatment needs to target both visible activity and hidden harbourage areas.
Wallace Pest Control uses a careful, professional approach based on the level of infestation, the layout of the property and where the bed bugs are found. This may include inspection, preparation advice, superheated steam treatment, targeted insecticide application and treatment of cracks, crevices and furniture joints.
Where suitable, we may use a combination of treatment methods to deal with live insects, eggs and hidden activity. The exact products and approach are chosen on site after assessing the property, the affected areas and any safety considerations.
After treatment, we provide clear advice to help reduce the risk of bed bugs spreading or being reintroduced. If you think you have bed bugs, call Wallace Pest Control on 07496 680879 for advice.
What Causes Bed Bug Infestations?
Bed bugs are usually introduced into a property by movement of people, luggage, clothing, furniture or personal belongings. They are often brought in after travel, hotel stays, overnight visits, shared accommodation or through second-hand furniture and soft furnishings.
They are not caused by poor hygiene. Clean homes, hotels, rental properties and businesses can all be affected if bed bugs are accidentally brought into the building.
Once inside, bed bugs can hide in mattress seams, bed frames, headboards, bedside furniture, sofas, skirting boards and small cracks around the room. If left untreated, they may spread from one room to another, making the infestation more difficult to control.
Clutter does not cause bed bugs, but it can give them more places to hide. Reducing clutter before treatment can help make inspection and treatment more effective.
Signs You May Have Bed Bugs
Bed bugs can be difficult to spot because they hide during the day and usually come out when people are resting or asleep. However, there are several warning signs that may suggest an infestation.
Common signs of bed bugs include:
- Small blood marks on bedding: you may notice tiny blood spots on sheets, pillowcases or nightwear.
- Dark spotting: bed bug faecal marks can appear as small dark spots on mattresses, bed frames, headboards, furniture or bedding.
- Shed skins or eggs: pale eggs, eggshells or shed skins may be found around mattress seams, cracks, joints and furniture edges.
- Live insects: adult bed bugs are small, flat and reddish-brown, roughly similar in size to an apple seed.
- Unexplained bites: some people develop itchy red marks, often on exposed skin, although bites alone cannot confirm bed bugs.
- A musty odour: heavier infestations may produce a noticeable musty smell.
If you have found several of these signs together, it is best to act quickly. Bed bugs can spread between rooms and become more difficult to treat if the infestation is left to develop.
