WHAT’S INSIDE YOUR BEDSIDE CABINET? 👀
Riddex Pest Control recently attended a property after a tenant reported concerns about being bitten during the night.
After carrying out her own investigations, the customer was none the wiser as to what could be causing the mystery bites.
Fortunately, we know exactly where biting insects like to hide — and it’s not always where you’d expect!
🔍 During our inspection, we discovered BED BUGS hiding inside a picture frame in the bedside cabinet.
Bed bugs are experts at staying out of sight. They can hide in tiny cracks and gaps around:
• Bedside cabinets and furniture
• Bed frames and headboards
• Mattress seams
• Skirting boards
• Fixings, joints and small crevices
Finding the source is the first step. Now a 2-part treatment programme is underway using:
♨️ Steam treatment
💨 Professional insecticide treatment
🛡️ ChinChex treatment
🪤 Bed bug monitoring traps
The traps will help us monitor activity and assess the effectiveness of the treatment.
Getting unexplained bites at night? Don’t just check the mattress — check what’s around your bed too.
