With over 25 years of experience serving Sharjah, Dubai, and Ajman, we offer a guaranteed, step-by-step solution to eradicate these pests from your home or business. This guide explains the causes, signs, and our proven methods for restoring your peace of mind.
What Is the Main Cause of Bed Bugs?
One of the biggest misconceptions is that bed bugs are a sign of a dirty home. This is completely false. Bed bugs are expert hitchhikers and can be found in even the most pristine environments. The main cause of a bed bug infestation is travel.
These pests latch onto luggage, clothing, and used furniture, and are then unknowingly transported to a new location. Common sources include:
- Hotels and Accommodations: Staying in an infested hotel room is a primary way to bring bed bugs home.
- Public Transportation: They can hide in the seats of airplanes, buses, and taxis.
- Secondhand Furniture: Bringing a used mattress, sofa, or chair into your home without a thorough inspection is a major risk.
- Visitors: Guests coming from an infested home can accidentally carry bed bugs with them.
Because they are transfer-related, anyone in Sharjah, Dubai, or Ajman is susceptible to an infestation, regardless of their cleaning habits.
How Do You Know If You Have Bed Bugs?
Bed bugs are nocturnal and excellent at hiding, so you may not see a live bug at first. The initial signs are often more subtle. Look for these tell-tale clues:
- Unexplained Bites: Waking up with small, red, itchy welts, often appearing in a line or zigzag pattern on exposed skin like arms, neck, and shoulders.
- Tiny Blood Stains: Small reddish or rust-colored spots on your sheets, pillowcases, or mattress. These are caused by crushed bed bugs.
- Dark Spots (Fecal Matter): Small, dark spots that look like ink from a pen, which are bed bug excrement. You can find these on bedding, mattresses, and along wall junctions.
- Shed Skins and Eggs: As they grow, bed bugs shed their pale yellow skins. You might also find tiny, pearly-white eggs (about 1mm) in crevices.
- A Musty Odor: In cases of a heavy infestation, you may notice a sweet, musty odor.
What Kills Bed Bugs Immediately (and What Doesn't)?
When you discover bed bugs, your first instinct is to try and kill them yourself. While some methods have limited success, most DIY approaches fail to eradicate the entire colony.
What can work on contact:
- High Heat: Washing and drying bedding and clothing on the highest heat setting for at least 30 minutes will kill bed bugs and their eggs.
- Steam Cleaning: Professional-grade steamers can kill bed bugs on surfaces like mattresses and furniture when the temperature exceeds 120°C (250°F).
What usually fails:
- Over-the-Counter Sprays: Many store-bought insecticides are ineffective against resistant bed bug strains and don't penetrate their hiding spots.
- Cold Temperatures: While freezing can kill bed bugs, it requires sustained temperatures below -18°C (0°F) for several days, which is impractical for most household items.
The only way to ensure complete elimination is through professional treatment that targets the entire lifecycle of the pest.
Our Step-by-Step Professional Bed Bug Treatment Process
At Al Tayseer Pest Control, we use a comprehensive, municipality-approved process to guarantee bed bug elimination.
Step 1: Detailed Inspection
Our certified technician conducts a thorough inspection of your entire property. We check mattresses, bed frames, furniture, electrical outlets, and even behind picture frames to identify all hiding spots (harborages) and determine the scale of the infestation.
Step 2: Client Preparation
We provide you with a clear checklist of preparatory steps. This typically includes decluttering infested rooms and washing all bedding and clothing in hot water. This preparation allows our treatment to reach all affected areas effectively.
Step 3: Targeted Treatment Application
We apply a combination of safe and effective treatments. This often includes a low-toxicity liquid insecticide applied to cracks and crevices, along with targeted steam application for sensitive areas like mattresses. Our products are approved by the Sharjah Municipality and are safe for use in homes with children and pets once dry.
Step 4: Follow-Up and Guarantee
Bed bug eggs can hatch after the initial treatment. That’s why our service includes a planned follow-up visit to eliminate any newly hatched nymphs. Our work is backed by a service guarantee—if the pests return within the warranty period, we will re-treat your property at no extra cost.

Is a Bed Bug Harmful to Humans?
While bed bugs are not known to transmit diseases, their impact should not be underestimated. The primary harm is physical and psychological.
- Physical Harm: Their bites can cause intense itching, leading to secondary skin infections from scratching. Some individuals may have allergic reactions to the bites, resulting in painful swelling.
- Psychological Harm: The thought of bugs feeding on you at night can cause significant anxiety, stress, and insomnia. This loss of sleep and constant worry can severely impact your quality of life.
