## Pest controller discovers bedbug infestation
Gareth Davis, owner of Pest & Property Solutions Ltd, found hundreds of thousands of bedbugs in a UK home during his 38-year career.
## Bedbugs hidden in walls and furniture
Bedbugs hide in cracks, skirting boards, furniture, electrical fittings, and behind wall coverings, making them hard to spot.
## Bedbug infestation signs
Small itchy bites on exposed skin, blood spots on bedding, and small brown spots from bedbug poop are signs of infestation.
## Bedbugs resistant to insecticides
Bedbugs are becoming increasingly resistant to insecticide treatments, making infestations harder to control.
## Pest controller's advice
Call your local council or pest control service, wash bedding on hot wash, and use freezer for items that can't be washed.
## Bedbug infestation severity
This infestation was the worst in Davis's 38-year career, with bedbugs visible in wallpaper and mattresses.

> This house was just horrific, hundreds of thousands of them when you lifted the mattresses up. They were coming out of the wallpaper, it was horrendous.
## Key takeaway

Pest controller found hundreds of thousands of bedbugs in a UK home, the worst infestation in his 38-year career.
