Bed bugs and fleas: what is the difference?
Bed bugs and fleas are two insects that bite to feed on blood and can invade a home. Both are tiny, but they do not hide in the same places and are not treated in the same way.
Bed bugs are oval and flat, brown or reddish in color, and have atrophied wings. They feed on human blood at night, leaving small, red, itchy bites on the skin. Bed bugs hide in beds, mattresses, sofas, carpets and other household items, and can be difficult to detect. Bed bugs are often carried in luggage and clothing, making it easy for them to spread in hotels and other public places.
Fleas, on the other hand, are smaller and jump with their highly developed hind legs. They also feed on blood and mostly bite dogs and cats, but humans too. They hide where pets rest: baskets, rugs, carpets and sofas.
Bed bugs and fleas are hard to eliminate without professional help. Our pest control company treats both pests in Brussels. We offer a treatment suited to your home or premises, to get rid of these insects for the long term.
Our technicians first assess the situation in your home or premises: affected rooms, level of infestation, possible hiding places. They then propose a suitable treatment for bed bugs or fleas, and give you practical advice to prevent a new infestation.

What to do if you have a bed bug problem?
Where and when do bed bugs hide?
Bed bugs come into your home with luggage, clothing or second-hand sofas and beds, usually without being seen. Their flat bodies let them slip into gaps as thin as a credit card. They hide in bed bases, mattresses, headboards and bed frames, as close as possible to where you sleep.
Since bedbugs tend to be active at night, they tend to bite when you are sleeping. Bedbug bites are painless at first, but later they will turn into itchy and red welts.
How long do bed bugs live?
If left unchecked, bedbugs can live for up to about a year, with females living longer than males. They reproduce very quickly, meaning a few individuals can create a major infestation in just a few months.
Bed bugs do not need to feed constantly. An adult bed bug can live for several months without taking a blood meal. This means you can leave your home for a vacation and they will survive until you return.
What should I do if I am infested?
For an established infestation, professional treatment is the effective solution. Shop products and home remedies are not enough, unless you throw out your furniture and move house.
Until the treatment, do not disturb their hiding places. If you move furniture or bedding, bed bugs spread to other rooms and the treatment becomes longer and more difficult.
Keep the infestation contained and let the professionals remove it.
Tips to avoid bedbugs
- Check that you really have bed bugs and not fleas, ticks or other insects: each pest needs a different treatment, and a bed bug treatment does not deal with the others. If in doubt, canine detection can settle the question.
- Clean up any clutter to minimize hiding places.
- Wash at a high temperature, then tumble dry your blankets, sheets, bedspreads and any clothing that touches the floor.
- Use heat against bed bugs, with care.
- Avoid taking bedding and belongings to friends or family before the treatment: you could pass the bed bugs on to them.
- Vacuuming removes some bed bugs, but it does not replace a full treatment.

Bed bugs: how they get into your home and why you should act fast
If you have ever had bed bugs, you know how hard it is to get rid of them. These small parasitic insects feed on our blood while we sleep, often without us noticing at first. Beyond the nuisance, two questions often come up. How do they get into a home? And are they really dangerous to your health? Here are the answers you need to recognise the problem, limit the risks and react quickly if you face a bed bug infestation in Brussels.
How do bed bugs get into our homes?
Bed bugs get into a home in several ways. Most often, they cling to clothing or luggage after a stay in an infested place, such as a hotel room or a flat with bed bugs. They also arrive hidden in furniture during a move or in second-hand items bought in shops or from private sellers. If these items are not checked before they come in, bed bugs easily go unnoticed. In a block of flats, they can also come from a neighbouring flat. Once settled, they breed quickly and the infestation spreads.
The dangers of bed bugs
Although bedbugs are not known to carry diseases, they can still pose a danger to our health. For one thing, their bites can cause itching and swelling which can lead to secondary infections if not treated properly. Also, people who are allergic to their bites may experience more severe reactions, such as hives, difficulty breathing, and anaphylaxis. If you experience any of these symptoms after being bitten by a bed bug, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.
Another difficulty: once settled, bed bugs can be difficult and expensive to get rid of. You will usually need a professional, and sometimes have to treat, throw out or replace infested furniture and items. This disrupts daily life and has a real cost. It is therefore wise to take simple precautions, especially after a trip or a second-hand purchase, to prevent an infestation from starting.
Nobody wants bed bugs at home. Yet it is very easy to bring them back without realising, after a trip or with a second-hand piece of furniture. Once they are there, getting rid of them is difficult, slow and expensive. Knowing how they get in and the health risks helps you prevent an infestation, react early and save yourself a lot of worry later.
Bed bugs reach your home in several ways. They are not known to spread disease, but they cause itching, discomfort and anxiety. If you think you have them, contact our pest control company in Brussels without delay: the sooner the treatment, the simpler it is and the less the infestation spreads.
