Bed bugs are notoriously hard to eliminate without professional help. We use heat treatment and targeted insecticide for complete eradication — backed by a 60-day warranty.
Bed bugs are one of the most distressing pests to deal with. These small, flat, reddish-brown insects hide in mattress seams, bed frames, headboards, furniture cracks, and even behind wallpaper and electrical outlets. They emerge at night to feed on blood, leaving itchy, red welts on exposed skin. Once established, bed bugs are extremely difficult to eliminate without professional treatment.
At Mr Pest Control Shah Alam, we have successfully treated bed bug infestations in homes, hotels, hostels, and Airbnb properties across the district. Bed bugs do not discriminate — they affect clean homes just as readily as others, and are most often introduced through travel, second-hand furniture, or visitors.
Bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers. The most common ways they enter Shah Alam homes include:
We use professional heating equipment to raise the temperature in infested rooms to levels lethal to bed bugs at all life stages — adults, nymphs, and eggs. Heat penetrates into mattresses, furniture, and wall cavities where chemicals cannot reach.
Residual insecticide is applied to bed bug harbourage areas — mattress seams, bed frame joints, headboard crevices, skirting boards, and furniture cracks. The residual effect continues killing bed bugs for weeks after application.
Before treatment, we conduct a detailed inspection of every potential hiding spot — mattresses, bed frames, bedside tables, wardrobes, curtain folds, electrical outlets, and picture frames.
After treatment, we advise on mattress encasements, bed leg interceptors, and monitoring strips to detect any surviving or re-introduced bed bugs early.
Bite marks: Red, itchy welts in a line or cluster pattern, typically on arms, shoulders, neck, and legs — appearing after sleeping.
Blood spots on sheets: Small rust-coloured spots on bedsheets, pillowcases, or mattresses from crushed bed bugs after feeding.
Dark spots on mattress: Black or dark brown spots (bed bug excrement) found along mattress seams, bed frame joints, and headboards.
Live bugs or shed skins: Finding live bed bugs (flat, oval, 4-7mm) or their translucent shed skins in seams, crevices, and hidden spots.
Sweet, musty odour: A heavy infestation produces a distinctive sweet, musty smell from bed bug scent glands.
Tiny white eggs: Bed bug eggs are about 1mm long, white, and found in clusters in hidden areas near the bed.

Book InspectionBed bugs are resistant to many over-the-counter insecticides. They hide in places sprays cannot reach — deep inside mattresses, behind skirting boards, inside electrical socket boxes, and within wall cavities. Foggers and bug bombs are particularly ineffective as they cause bed bugs to scatter deeper into hiding spots, making the problem worse. Professional treatment using heat and targeted residual products is the only reliable way to achieve complete eradication.
