Bed Bug Treatment in Auckland

Bed bugs hide in dry, dark places such as mattresses, headboards, bed frames, furniture and cracks in walls and floors. Many people pick them up in luggage when travelling, or bring them home in second-hand furniture, bedding or clothing. Signs include itchy bites in a series, live bugs, cast skins, eggs and small dark stains. They cannot fly but crawl short distances, so check other bedrooms too.

In a rental, Tenancy Services says landlords need to make sure the property is free from pests at the start of the tenancy, and tenants should tell the landlord straight away if they see signs. Who is responsible can depend on how the infestation started. Ask a company whether it treats the whole home and not only one room, and what it will report back to you.
