FREE COMPREHENSIVE INSPECTION

For bed bugs, a full and thorough inspection of the infected bedroom is critical, together with adjoining and opposite rooms. Bed bugs can travel up to 4 metres to feed and therefore a comprehensive survey is essential to identify the bed bug harbourage sites.

SUPERHEATED DRY STEAM (SDS) TREATMENT

Javelin’s Superheated Dry Steam (SDS) treatment is able to deliver complete removal of a bed bug infestation in one session, making it ideal for busy hotels. Steam produced during the treatment eliminates all stages of a bed bug’s life cycle, from eggs to adults, and can be delivered in the presence of people. Rooms do not have to be closed for treatment, lowering the economic impact of an infestation.

This treatment comes with a 1 – 6 month warranty depending on what coverage is requested. If bed bugs re-infest the treated rooms within that period, Javelin Services will return, free of charge, to eliminate the infestation.

INSTALLATION OF BED BUG MONITORS

We will deploy bed bug monitoring devices when necessary, to monitor activity and to detect any re-infestation as early as possible.

Bed bug monitors replicate humans by emitting carbon dioxide and heat, the main attractants for bed bugs. These devices can be checked by in-house staff and outbreaks can be reported early before they spread to neighbouring rooms. Early detection will enable us to administer an even quicker and more effective treatment.

BED BUG BARRIER TREATMENT

Using specifically designed odourless pesticides that target bed bugs, your Javelin technician will spray the perimeter of the bedroom to create a protective coat of residue. Cracks and crevices around bedside tables, chairs and curtains will also be treated to provide long term protection.
