Signs of bed bugs
- Red, itchy bites on your skin
- Small bloodstains on your sheets
- A musty odour in the bedroom
- Small, reddish-brown insects on your mattress or furniture
Bed bugs are small parasitic insects that feed on human and animal blood. They’re most active at night, which is what makes them so hard to spot. They aren’t known to spread disease, but their bites can be painful and cause itching and swelling.
Where bed bugs hide
Bed bugs hide close to where people sleep and sit. We find them in:
- Mattresses and box springs
- Bed frames and headboards
- Couches and other furniture
- Even electrical outlets
For landlords, strata councils and property managers
Ridall works with apartment buildings, property managers and social housing and co-ops across Vancouver. We start with a thorough inspection of the building, then build a plan to eliminate the problem and help prevent it coming back.
Help stop bed bugs coming back
- Check your bedding and furniture regularly.
- Wash and dry your bed linens on high heat.
- Use bed bug-proof covers on your mattress and box spring.
- After treatment, wash your bedding. It’s usually safe once the treatment has dried.
Ridall serves Vancouver neighbourhoods including Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Kerrisdale, Dunbar and Downtown from our office in Burnaby. For other pests, see our main Vancouver pest control page or our general bed bug removal page.
