Bed Bug Treatment by Antiva
Bed bugs are difficult to remove without professional treatment. They hide in mattresses, bed frames, skirting boards, furniture, luggage, and adjoining rooms, then feed at night. Antiva provides professional bed bug treatment across Edinburgh, the Lothians, and Glasgow for homes, hotels, short-term lets, landlords, and care settings.
Early action reduces spread. If you have bites, blood spots on sheets, or confirmed bed bug sightings, book an inspection before moving furniture between rooms.
Signs of Bed Bugs
Bites appearing overnight, often in lines or clusters
Blood spots or dark marks on sheets, mattresses, or bed frames
Live insects or shed skins around mattress seams
Sweet, musty odour in heavy infestations
Activity after travel, guest stays, or second-hand furniture
Complaints from hotel guests, tenants, or residents
Bed bugs are not a sign of poor hygiene. They spread through movement of people, luggage, furniture, and linen.
Our Bed Bug Treatment Process
Inspection - confirm activity and identify affected rooms
Preparation advice - explain what to move, bag, launder, or leave in place
Treatment - apply professional bed bug treatment suited to the situation
Follow-up - return where required to confirm control and treat remaining activity
Prevention guidance - reduce the chance of reintroduction and spread
Treatment plans vary depending on room layout, infestation level, occupancy, and whether the property is residential or commercial.
Bed Bug Treatment for Hotels and Rentals
Hotels, serviced apartments, HMOs, and short-term lets need discreet, documented bed bug control. A delayed response can spread activity to adjoining rooms and create reputational damage.
Antiva supports:
Hotels, B&Bs, hostels, and guesthouses
Landlords, letting agents, and property managers
Short-term let operators
Care homes and supported living settings
Homeowners and tenants
For hospitality properties, see pest control for hotels and hospitality.

Bed Bug Treatment FAQs
Can bed bugs be treated with shop-bought sprays?
DIY sprays often miss hidden insects and eggs. Professional treatment targets harbourage areas and includes follow-up advice.
Should I throw away my mattress?
Not usually before inspection. Moving infested items can spread bed bugs through the property.
How many visits are needed?
That depends on infestation level, preparation, room use, and follow-up findings. We explain the recommended programme after inspection.
If you suspect bed bugs, book treatment before the infestation spreads.
