Bedbug Control Services in Kenya
Bedbugs are small, blood-feeding insects that infest homes, hotels, hostels, offices, and other living spaces. Although they do not transmit diseases, bedbugs can cause severe discomfort, allergic reactions, anxiety, and sleepless nights. In Kenya, bedbug infestations are common in urban areas where people move frequently between homes, hotels, and public transport.
At Rowland Africa, we provide professional bedbug control services that target all life stages of bedbugs, from eggs to adults, ensuring complete elimination. Our solutions are safe, effective, and tailored to your property, providing peace of mind and a pest-free environment.
Understanding Bedbugs
Bedbugs are small, reddish-brown insects about 4–5 mm in length. They are nocturnal and feed primarily on human blood, often hiding in cracks, crevices, mattresses, bed frames, furniture, and behind wallpaper. Bedbugs reproduce quickly, laying hundreds of eggs over their lifetime, which makes early detection and professional control essential.
Common bedbug species in Kenya include Cimex lectularius and Cimex hemipterus. These pests can survive for months without feeding, allowing them to persist even in unoccupied homes or hotels.
Causes of Bedbug Infestations
Bedbugs are usually introduced into properties by:
- Used furniture, mattresses, or bedding
- Luggage or clothing from infested hotels, hostels, or public transport
- Neighboring infestations in multi-unit buildings
- Guests, visitors, or family members unknowingly carrying bedbugs
- Poor inspection practices in hotels, hostels, or rental accommodations
Understanding how bedbugs enter your property helps prevent future infestations.
Signs of Bedbug Infestations
Bedbugs can be difficult to detect, but these signs indicate their presence:
- Small, reddish-brown spots of blood on mattresses or bedding
- Tiny black or dark brown excrement spots in bed frames, mattresses, or walls
- Itchy, red bites on the skin, often in clusters or lines
- Musty odor in heavily infested rooms
- Sightings of live bedbugs in mattress seams, furniture crevices, or cracks
- Molted skins or eggshells in hidden areas
Early detection allows for faster, more effective control.
Bedbug Inspection Process
At Rowland Africa, we begin bedbug control with a thorough inspection:
- Property Assessment – Examining bedrooms, furniture, mattresses, sofas, and cracks for bedbug activity
- Identification of Infestation Level – Determining whether the infestation is localized or widespread
- Life Stage Assessment – Identifying eggs, nymphs, and adults to plan comprehensive treatment
- Source Tracing – Investigating potential entry points and items that may have introduced bedbugs
- Customized Treatment Plan – Tailoring a control strategy based on infestation severity and client needs
Bedbug Treatment Methods
We use a combination of chemical and non-chemical strategies to ensure complete eradication:
Chemical Treatments
- Safe, residual insecticides applied to bedframes, furniture, cracks, and wall voids
- Spot treatments on mattresses, upholstered furniture, and curtains
- Insect growth regulators to prevent egg hatching and future generations
Non-Chemical Treatments
- Thorough vacuuming and steaming of infested areas to kill eggs, nymphs, and adults
- Mattress and furniture encasements to trap remaining bedbugs
- Heat treatment in controlled environments to eradicate bedbugs in fabrics and furniture
- Manual removal and cleaning of heavily infested items
Prevention Measures
After treatment, preventing bedbug return is crucial:
- Inspect second-hand furniture, bedding, and luggage before bringing it home
- Use mattress encasements and protective covers
- Regularly clean and vacuum bedrooms, living rooms, and storage areas
- Reduce clutter where bedbugs can hide
- Inspect hotel rooms, hostels, and rental accommodations when traveling
