Dangers Of A Bed Bug Infestation
Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown bugs that feed on human blood. Due to their flattened bodies, bed bugs can easily fit into tight hiding places, including spaces as tiny as the width of a credit card. While they are small insects, bed bug bites can be painful and cause skin irritation and even allergic reactions. Because of their minute size, bed bugs can be difficult to get rid of, and if bed bugs return they can cause disturbed sleep and even mental health problems.
Thankfully, for homes and businesses across Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Leeds, West Yorkshire and beyond, Copley Pest Solutions uses proven methods to remove bed bugs, and also other parasitic insect pests, such as fleas. Our team can remove bed bugs at all life cycle stages quickly and effectively, with a range of treatment options.

Signs Of Bed Bugs
Adult bed bugs are usually between 5-7mm in length, or about the size of an apple seed. As such, they can be difficult to see, but some common bed bug signs are:
- Bed Bug Bites: Bed bug bites look like red welts that are usually found on skin that’s exposed while you sleep, such as on your hands, feet, neck and face.
- Specks On Mattresses And Furniture: If you notice small, dark flecks on your mattress and bedding, then this could be squashed bed bugs, dropped of blood from bites or bed bug droppings.
- Shed Skins: While they are still small, shed skins don’t move or hide like live bed bugs, so you might notice papery-looking versions of bed bugs throughout your house. These skins are shed by immature bed bug nymphs as they grow.
- Musty Smell: A large bed bug infestation can cause a musty odour that can’t be removed by cleaning.
If you see any of these signs of a bed bug infestation, you need fast treatment. The longer you leave it, the worse the problem will be, so contact us to book your bed bug removal visit.

FAQ
Bed Bug Removal FAQs
Are Bed Bugs Caused By Bad Hygiene?
Bed bugs are not a sign of uncleanliness or bad hygiene. Since bed bugs feed on human blood rather than crumbs and food scraps, they are not attracted to dirt and are no more likely to be found in dirty homes than clean ones.
How Do Bed Bugs Get Into Your Home?
Bed bugs enter your property on infested furniture and clothing. So, if you buy secondhand furniture, such as sofas, mattresses and bed frames, make sure you hoover them thoroughly and wash them in hot water before use. Bed bugs can also enter on contaminated clothing, so if you or a visitor comes into contact with infested items, bed bugs could be carried on clothing into your home.
What Are The Stages Of The Bed Bug Life Cycle?
When bed bug eggs hatch, they become nymphs, which grow over several different stages, with newly hatched nymphs seeking a blood meal, so they can grow before they become adult bed bugs. The entire process usually lasts around 1-3 months, but adult bed bugs can lie dormant in a state known as diapause for up to a year in colder temperatures or without a blood meal.
Why Do Bed Bugs Keep Coming Back?
Bed bugs can sometimes come back, especially if you use ineffective DIY bed bug treatments, as they can lie dormant deep inside soft furnishings and mattress seams. They can be in this state for up to a year, and then emerge to feed. As such, you might think your bed bug problem is gone, and then find bed bugs again.
What Is The Best Way To Get Rid Of Bed Bugs Permanently?
The best way to get rid of bed bugs permanent is to work with a professional pest control company like Copley Pest Solutions. Our team are RSPH level 2 certified, and have access to bed bug control solutions that aren’t available to the general public.
