bed bug control singapore : Signs, Treatment, & Costs
Bed bug extermination in Singapore is important to eliminate bed bugs from your home or transportation. Singapore’s warm and humid weather helps these bugs breed and survive. These bugs look like tiny reddish-brown and hide under mattresses, cracks, furniture, and bedding. Their bites are itchy and uncomfortable and pose potential health risks, including red spots, rashes, allergic reactions, and so on. They are also responsible for transmitting Chagas-like diseases.
Common signs of bed bugs involve bloodstains on sheets, bites on the naked body, fecal spots, and unusual odors from your bed or car. You will find bed bugs in homes, hotels, and private and public transportation. Professional inspection and treatment are a must to eliminate these bugs.
The elimination treatment includes chemical methods like insecticides, heat treatments, and eco-friendly steam solutions. Among them, heat treatments work better to kill bugs and their eggs. Some professionals also use cryogenic treatments (extreme colds) to remove the bugs. Using soap water for DIY treatment also works but fails to kill the eggs.

What Does a Bed Bug Look Like?
Bed bugs are wingless, small apple-seed-sized (4-5 millimeters) bugs with a reddish-brown color. They look flat and oval-shaped when not fed for a long time. But the shape changes into more swollen, and the color changes to reddish after feeding the blood.
The bugs have six legs and two antennae. They are nocturnal and active at night. Young bed bugs (nymphs) are smaller and lighter in color.
The eggs are white or pearl-like tinny, like 1mm long. You will find them in mattress seams, crevices, and behind furniture.

Signs of Bed Bugs

Bed bug bites appear in clusters on exposed skin. You will find small, red, and itchy bumps on your skin. Besides, small, reddish-brown stains or dark spots resembling pepper will be visible on your sheets, pillowcases, or mattress. Since the bugs shed their skin, you may also find small, translucent casings.
Presence of bed bugs in cracks, crevices, and furniture
Upon deep inspection, you may find bugs crawling on your bed, walls, or furniture. They stay clustered or in a line in cracks, crevices, furniture joints, and mattress seams.
Unusual odors in affected areas.

Inspect the signs
The treatment starts with inspecting the signs to determine the presence of bed bugs. Bites, bloodstains on bedding, fecal spots, and a musty odor are some common signs to check. Inspect mattress seams and pillow seams. Professionals like Termite Specialist use advanced tools to find bugs in cracks, furniture, and hidden crevices.
Determine The Infestation level.
Once detected, the infestation intensity level needs to be assessed to determine the type of treatment required to eradicate the bugs. This can be done by checking factors such as affected area, hiding spot number, number of bugs, and the extent of bed bug activity.
Eradicate the bugs
As a professional, we use different methods based on the infestation level.
Heat Steam Treatment
Heat treatment uses high-temperature (50°C (122°F) steam to destroy bed bugs and their eggs. We apply the hot steam to infested areas, such as mattresses, sofas, carpets, and cracks, without damaging the materials. It is an eco-friendly method that is safe for children, pets, and sensitive people. It works better than any other method.
Chemical treatments
Chemical treatments work the best to eradicate the bugs. Pyrethrins and pyrethroids are the most common chemicals used to treat them. We also use biochemicals, Pyrroles, Neonicotinoids, and Desiccants to kill bugs from hiding spots. ULV misting is also done to eradicate the bugs.
ULV Misting
This treatment spreads mist to the entire affected room. The mist penetrates the hiding places, such as cracks and crevices. The chemical coverage is wider and more effective.
Car Fumigation
People often overlook cars when treating bed bugs. It becomes a hiding spot for them, especially in Singapore’s urban landscape. Car Fumigation includes sealing seats, carpets, and air vents and then using gaseous pesticides to eradicate all bugs.
DIY Methods
Some DIY methods, such as vacuuming, baking soda, and diatomaceous, are also popular. But this has many limitations. You cannot eliminate the bugs with this method. Mattress encasements or interceptor traps work sometimes.
Prevention of Future Infestations of bed bugs
- Regularly inspect the bed sheet, pillow, furniture, cracks on walls, floors, furniture, and cars.
- Ensure proper travel hygiene to prevent bed bug spread.
- Seal the cracks and crevices.
- Take action at the beginning if you see bloodstains, fecal spots, and other signs.
