What people notice
- Bites in a line or cluster, usually on skin exposed while sleeping
- Small dark spots on the mattress seam, headboard, or skirting
- Live bugs or shed skins in the seams of the mattress and bed frame
How the barrier deals with it
- 01 A room prepared and a residual laid across every harbourage and route to the bed
- 02 Heat where the infestation warrants it — a lethal threshold the insect cannot resist
- 03 A second visit at the egg-hatch window, because one pass does not clear an egg stage
