Why Bed Bugs Are a Problem
Bed bugs can hide in small cracks, seams, and furniture around sleeping areas and may be difficult to identify during the early stages of an infestation. Because they are nocturnal and avoid light, they stay sheltered during the day and emerge primarily when people are resting.
Their flat, oval-shaped bodies allow them to slip into microscopic openings around mattress seams, headboard screws, wooden joints, and skirting boards. Left unmanaged, their populations can grow and spread into adjoining rooms, living furniture, and neighboring units.
Common Signs of Bed Bugs
Inspect your sleeping and seating areas for these characteristic indicators.
Bites or Red Welts
Bite marks often appearing in clusters or small rows on skin exposed while sleeping, usually on arms, neck, shoulders, or legs.
Blood Marks on Bedding
Small unexplained blood stains or streaks on bed sheets, pillowcases, or mattress covers caused by accidental contact.
Dark / Rust-Colored Spotting
Small dark spots of bed bug droppings along mattress piping, box spring edges, bed frame crevices, or behind headboards.
Shed Skins & Egg Casings
Pale amber translucent skins cast off by developing nymphs and tiny pearl-white egg casings nestled in fabric crevices.
Live Bed Bugs
Small, flat, reddish-brown wingless insects observed crawling along seams or within joints near sleeping areas.
Activity Around Sleeping Areas
Visible activity in mattress seams, behind wooden headboards, within bed frames, and in nearby upholstered chairs or tables.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I know if I have bed bugs?
Common indications include unexplained bites or red welts upon waking, small blood stains on bed sheets, dark spotting (droppings) along mattress seams, cast skins, or spotting live insects in cracks and headboard joints.
2. Where do bed bugs usually hide?
Bed bugs typically harbour within 5 to 8 feet of sleeping or resting areas. Common sites include mattress seams, bed frames, headboard crevices, bedside tables, upholstered chairs, baseboard cracks, and switchboards.
3. How do bed bugs spread?
Bed bugs spread primarily by hitchhiking on luggage, clothing, backpacks, and used furniture. They can also move between adjoining rooms in multi-unit buildings like apartments, PGs, and hotels through wall voids or pipe openings.
4. How much does bed bug treatment cost?
Bed bug treatment at SLV Pest Control starts from ₹999. The final price depends on the property size (1 BHK, 2 BHK, 3 BHK, or commercial room count), the degree of infestation, and the specific treatment scope required.
5. Is inspection required?
Yes. A thorough inspection allows the technician to confirm the presence of bed bugs, locate primary harbourage areas, and recommend the appropriate treatment approach suited to your property.
6. How long does treatment take?
Treatment duration depends on the property size, the number of beds and rooms involved, and the level of infestation. The technician will evaluate your property and provide an estimated duration before commencing.
7. Do I need to leave my home during treatment?
Treatment duration and re-entry requirements depend on the infestation level, property conditions and treatment method. The required preparation, treatment duration and re-entry instructions will be clearly explained by the technician before treatment begins.
8. What preparation is required before treatment?
Key preparation steps include reducing clutter around sleeping areas, keeping mattresses and bed frames accessible, stripping bed linens as advised, and avoiding moving potentially infested items into untreated rooms.
9. What should I do after treatment?
Follow the technician’s safety and re-entry instructions carefully. Do not unnecessarily disturb treated surfaces, wash bedding in hot water as instructed, avoid moving belongings between rooms, and follow the provided monitoring guidelines.
10. Do bed bugs come back?
While professional treatment targets existing populations and harbourages, re-infestation can occur if bed bugs are re-introduced via infested luggage, visitors, or second-hand items. Our 4-month warranty provides structured follow-up support if assistance is needed.
