Chemical-Free Pest Control Across the South East
At Abbott Contractors, we specialise in advanced steam treatment technology for effective, environmentally responsible bed bug elimination. Our chemical-free approach delivers exceptional results while ensuring the safety of your family, pets, and the environment.
A bed bug infestation in your business or home can cause you to revert to panic stations. A hotel or care facility must react with haste to stop the spread of the infestation, as this can lead to a loss of customers, consumer trust and income.
Abbott Contractors offer both a domestic and commercial bed bug treatment service that can be arranged at a time that suits you, day or night. Although bed bugs do not transmit disease, it is important to know if you have them. Bed bug bites can be incredibly irritating and distressing. In some cases, even becoming sore and itchy. Bites can vary in appearance from person to person, some people have no reaction to bites, whilst others can develop a severe rash with minor itching. These can occur anywhere on the body but are most commonly found on the neck, hands, arms and legs. The bites often result in annoyance due to the itchiness and in some cases loss of sleep.
A bed bug infestation can make your premises unsafe, especially if you are handling food. Our bed bug exterminators are fully committed to solving your bed bug problem efficiently, and always adhere to strict health and safety regulations. We’re available to get things sorted, with years of experience in all aspects of pest control and extermination, your business can be running smoothly again in no time.

Most common type of bed bug
Cimex Lectularius
The Cimex Lectularius feeds on human blood. Other species exist, but this one has adapted to human environments. Its preferred habitat is a heated home or property where they can infest beds and sofas.
The species is most active at night, often hiding away during the day, although it is not uncommon to find active bed bugs in the day time. For this reason, they are not exclusively classed as nocturnal.
