A two-stage treatment, and the whole room — not just the bed
Bed bug control
We treat the entire room, not only the mattress. The technician removes the headboard and socket covers, checks the neighbouring sofa and rug, and grades the level of infestation before starting. We also inspect the adjoining room, because bed bugs travel inside the wall from one socket to the next and that distance does not stop them.

The inspection is at no charge — and if you decide not to go ahead, you pay nothing.
How to confirm this is your problem
If one or two of these match, it is very likely. The inspection settles it.
- Bites in a line or in groups of three — not one isolated bite
- Small blood spots on the sheet beside the mattress edge
- Black marks like pen flicks in the mattress seam and behind the headboard
- A heavy sweet smell, a little like almonds, in a closed room
- Small translucent shed skins in the corners of the bed frame
Treatment steps
The same order on every visit — and the report records what was actually done.
- Inspect the seams, the cracks, behind the headboard and the sockets — bed bugs hide in the tightest space available
- Steam at 90°C on the mattress and its seams — heat kills the eggs that a product cannot reach
- A residual product in the cracks and along movement paths, not a random spray into the air
- A second visit 14 days later for the eggs that have since hatched
Method and techniques
Not “modern products”. These are the technical decisions in this service, and why.
A product that gets past resistance
A Ministry-registered product from a different group, because the strains found in Egypt have become resistant to the traditional group on its own.
Interceptor cups under the legs
We leave them between the two visits. If anything is caught by day 14, the treatment is repeated at no cost.
A zipped mattress encasement
Fitted to the mattress and pillow after treatment. Anything trapped inside dies and cannot bite through it.
The mistake that doubles the problem
Do not sleep in the living room and do not move the mattress outside — that spreads the infestation to the sofa and the car.
A bed bug egg has a shell that protects it from most products. That is why a single visit kills the live insects but the eggs hatch 7 to 12 days later and the problem returns. The second visit is not an upsell — it is half of the treatment.
If the infestation covers more than two rooms, or if your neighbours have the same problem, we need to talk before committing. In that situation two visits may not be enough.
3 years written
The price is set after the inspection, based on the area and the scale of the infestation — and there is no fee for the inspection if you decide not to go ahead.
Questions about this service
Do bed bugs come back after treatment?
After two visits 14 days apart, no. The first visit removes the adults and the second removes whatever hatched from the eggs. If they return within 3 years, the additional visit is on us under the written guarantee. The single exception is a fresh infestation arriving from a neighbouring flat or with second-hand furniture.
How many visits do bed bugs need?
Two visits, 14 days apart, for an ordinary flat. The reason is that a bed bug egg has a shell that protects it, so it hatches 7 to 12 days later. The second visit catches that new generation. If the infestation covers more than two rooms we may need a third.
When will I see a result?
Cockroaches and ants: a clear drop within 48 hours and full clearance within 10 days, because the gel needs time to reach the harbourage. Bed bugs: from the first visit, but it is settled after the second. Rodents: 3 to 7 days depending on the size of the place.
Do I need to empty the flat before you arrive?
No. We only ask you to clear the kitchen counters, cover or remove uncovered food, and open the wardrobes if the treatment is for bed bugs. Furniture stays where it is — we move whatever needs moving. A whole flat takes 45 to 90 minutes.
Is the treatment safe around children and pets?
The products are registered with the Egyptian Ministry of Health and approved for residential use, and they are odourless. In the kitchen we use gel in the cracks rather than spraying surfaces, and bait stations are key-locked and fixed to the floor. The work is done with you and your family at home — no evacuation.
