Bed Bugs are surprisingly common in the Central Otago and Southern Lakes regions as a result of

high visitor accommodation.

 

Bed Bugs require five blood feeds to develop of egg to adult. The duration is dependent on temperature ranging from 21 days at 30C to over a year at temperatures below 16C.

 

Bed Bugs can prove to be a challenge to treat. Success is achieved through thorough inspection, treatment, staff education and follow ups.
