Bed Bug Treatment Newcastle
Bed bugs are the ultimate nightmare pest — they hide in mattresses and furniture, feed on you while you sleep, and are notoriously resistant to DIY treatment. They spread easily via luggage, clothing and second-hand furniture.

Why bed bugs becomes a problem
Bed bugs cause itchy, distressing bites and severe anxiety. They hide deep in mattress seams, bed frames, skirting boards and furniture joints, surviving for months without feeding. Incorrect treatment scatters them, making the problem worse.
