BEDBUG TREATMENT
Aardwolf and Pestbusters offer chemical and heat treatment to deal with bedbug infestation.
They look at places like cracks in the parquet flooring, headboards and even cable trunking and power points. Cupboards, sofas, drawers are also common areas bed bugs may be hiding.
These areas are typically close to the source of their food - humans - as they feed on their blood.
For the chemical treatment, chemicals are sprayed in places with infestation and potential harbourage areas, said Mr Chan.
A residual effect from the spray means that any remaining eggs that come in contact will die, he added.
His firm keeps stock of chemical sprays that can last up to six months to ensure there is enough supply in the event of a spike in cases.
He noted that in 2014, there was a surge. At the time, there were 20 to 30 cases a month compared to less than 10 a month.
Heat treatment is done especially in homes with toddlers or seniors, the firms said.
“For clients that do have certain concerns, especially those with elderly in their homes, young children or babies or people with immunodeficiencies or sensitive skin, we would generally not try to use the chemical because it might cause repercussions later,” said Mr Lee.
Treatment typically takes half a day, and follow-ups are done to ensure that the problem is being solved.
