Bed Bugs Pest Control
Did you bring bed bugs home from your vacation? If so, you should contact a professional pest control service as soon as possible. Bed bugs are an increasing problem in Denmark due to more frequent travel, which leads to bringing them home from hotel stays abroad. Another issue is that bed bugs are becoming resistant to some pest control products, making them harder to eliminate. At Skadedyrservice Nordkysten, we offer quick and effective bed bug control. Contact us immediately if you notice signs of bed bugs after your trip. We operate in North Zealand and the Greater Copenhagen area. Call us at +45 3060 5657 to learn more.

How We Treat Bed Bugs
Effective bed bug control requires help from a pest control expert. Depending on the severity of the issue, we use steam or long-lasting insecticides. The small amounts we use are safe for humans. We only use insecticides that are approved by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency.
Bed Bug Treatment Pricing
The price for bed bug control starts at 1,500 DKK excluding VAT (1,875 DKK including VAT) per treatment, which is typically the price for treating a bed and bedroom. The cost depends on the extent of the problem, the size of the affected area, and the treatment method used. We often use a combination of spraying, steaming, traps, and tape.
In severe infestations, freezing containers or heat treatments may be necessary.

Signs of Bed Bugs – Look Out for Bites
These small insects feed on human blood and can drink up to seven times their weight in just 10 minutes. Keep an eye out for small bites, as they can be a sign of bed bugs. Typically, bed bug bites appear in clusters or lines in the same area of the body. Arms, legs, and the lower back are the most common areas to be bitten. Some people don’t react to bed bug bites, while others experience severe itching and rashes that can lead to infection. Contact us immediately if you see signs of bed bugs. We are ready to help.

What You Can Do
Professional bed bug control ensures that the pests are eliminated. After the treatment, it’s important to prevent re-infestation. Clothes and other washable items should be either laundered or frozen at -18°C for at least two days. Remember, you are required to inform your housing association about the problem.
Contact us as soon as possible if you have a bed bug problem – they won’t go away on their own. The sooner we start treatment, the lower the risk of them spreading.

FAQ about Bed Bug Pest Control
Here are the answers to some common questions about bed bugs.
How do I know if I have bed bugs?
Bed bugs are hard to detect because they hide during the day. You usually realize you have them when you wake up with bites, as they feed on your blood during the night.
What are the typical signs of bed bugs?
Common signs of bed bugs include black spots on your bed or mattress, which are their droppings. You may also notice small dark bloodstains on your sheets. Though adult bed bugs are only 4-5 mm, you can spot live bugs.
Where do bed bugs hide?
During the day, bed bugs hide in cracks and crevices in floors, walls, and baseboards, as well as in bed frames, headboards, mattresses, drawers, and wardrobes.
How do bed bugs spread?
Bed bugs spread in many ways. The most common are through hotel stays or visits with friends, but you can also bring them home from places like movie theaters or taxis. Be careful when buying second-hand furniture and beds. We often find that bed bugs have entered homes via used sofas or beds. Bed bugs can also spread from apartment to apartment through electrical wiring or pipes.
Can I get rid of bed bugs myself?
We recommend professional help as soon as possible. Without the right tools and products, bed bugs are hard to eliminate. However, thorough vacuuming, cleaning, and washing of clothes and bedding are necessary steps you should take yourself.
