        Risks bed bugs pose to your business or organisation

        Bed bugs can pose a significant risk to businesses, particularly those in the hospitality industry, such as hotels, hostels, care homes, student accommodations and Airbnb accommodations. The risks associated with bed bugs include:

        • Negative impact on reputation: Bed bugs are often associated with unclean or unsanitary environments. If a business becomes known for having bed bugs, it can damage their reputation and result in a loss of customers.
        • Financial losses: If bed bugs are discovered on a business’s premises, they may have to close temporarily to deal with the infestation, resulting in lost revenue. Additionally, if not treated early, bed bug infestations can spread throughout multi-occupancy properties to create large-scale infestations, which can be costly to treat.
        • Legal liability: Businesses are responsible for ensuring rooms are bed bug-free. If a business has been found to be the source of a bed bug infestation, it may be held legally responsible for any damages or losses incurred by affected parties, including guests, employees, or neighbouring businesses.
        • Health risks: While bed bugs do not transmit diseases, their bites can cause allergic reactions, skin irritation, and secondary infections, which can be uncomfortable and unpleasant. This could result in an inconvenience for those affected, potentially having to seek medical advice and treatment.

        Overall, bed bugs can significantly impact a business’s bottom line, reputation, and legal liabilities. Businesses need to take proactive measures to prevent infestations and address them promptly if they occur.

        • Embarrassment: They are often associated with unclean or unsanitary conditions, which can delay people in seeking help early. But it’s important to note that bed bugs can be found in both clean and dirty environments, as they are attracted to the warmth and carbon dioxide.
        • Size and scale of an infestation: Left untreated, an infestation can rapidly grow, infesting multiple areas in your home, including furniture, carpets, and curtains.
        • Property damage: In some cases infestations can lead to property damage. People may try to discard infested and damaged items such as mattresses, sofas or other furniture items.
        • Costs: Problems will incur treatment costs and possible costs to replace any infested property.

        Bed Bug facts

        They have an uncanny ability to spread using unsuspecting people and their belongings as carriers, making them skilled hitchhikers. In fact, they are primarily transported by humans and human belongings like suitcases but can also spread on second hand furniture when it is moved from one place to another.

        These nocturnal insects get their name as they are usually found in close proximity to beds, as they feed on humans sleeping in bed at night. The bite is painless whilst they feed and the blood meal takes about 10 minutes. Some people will notice bites on their skin, whereas others may not notice any visible signs of being bitten.

        They identify the presence of a suitable host through body heat and carbon dioxide from exhaled breath. Once they have fed, they retreat to their hidden cracks and crevices for a week or so before seeking a further blood meal, however they can go up to a month without feeding. This is what can make detecting the presence of bed bugs difficult while the infestation levels are low. At Vergo, we have specially trained technicians and bed bug sniffer dogs who are experienced in bed bug detection and control, and we can offer quick and effective bed bug treatments anywhere across the UK.

        They are primarily found where there is a heavy flow of people such as hotels and student accommodation. These places tend to report repeat infestations due to many people coming and going, and bed bugs can easily spread throughout the property on items such as bedding, luggage, and other items. Bed bugs can also be found on public transport, such as buses, trains, or taxis.

        • What do bed bugs look like

          Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects that are about the size of an apple seed. They have flat, oval-shaped bodies and six legs, with two antennae protruding from their heads. Bed bugs are wingless, and their bodies become more elongated and bloated after feeding on blood. Bed bug nymphs (young bed bugs) look similar to adult bed bugs, but they are smaller and lighter in color, making them even harder to spot.

        • What do bed bug bites look like

          Bed bug bites can vary in appearance from person to person, but they often have some distinctive characteristics. Bed bug bites typically appear as small, red, and itchy bumps that can be grouped together in a line or cluster. They may also have a swollen and inflamed appearance, and some people may develop a raised welt or blister. Bed bug bites can occur on any part of the body but are most commonly found on exposed areas, such as the face, neck, arms, and hands. Unlike some other insect bites, bed bug bites usually do not have a red spot in the centre.

        • How do you get bed bugs

          A common way bed bugs enter homes or businesses is by hitchhiking on infested furniture, luggage, or clothing. This can happen when staying in an infested hotel or rental property or bringing in used or second-hand furniture. Bed bugs can also spread from neighbouring rooms, especially in multi-unit buildings. Bed bugs can be present in public transport, such as buses, trains, or taxis.

        • Can you see bed bugs

          Adult bed bugs are typically about 5-7 millimetres in length and are visible to the naked eye, however they hide in cracks, crevices and mattrass seams during the day and are mainly active at night when they come out to feed on human blood. If inspecting multi-occupancy rooms for bed bugs with the naked eye it can be incredibly time consuming, therefore its advisable to seek professional help from a canine bed bug detection team who can inspect a room in minutes.
