We recently bought a place in senorio de roda, it was vacant for a few years.

We have been there several times and each time been bitten on the face and arms.

When cleaning the sheets we noticed little black bots on both mattresses, we have tried to kill with spray but hasnt worked.

Could anyone recomend what to use and where to buy from.

Thank you

Andy

I would get the professionals in if it was me.

The whole house & all the furnishings, bedding etc etc needs doing properly.

You will be wasting you money with a few cans of bug spray.

And before you ask I am afraid I don't know any professional pest controllers.

Hi Andy .

My name is Colin I've been here in LA since 10/03/18  , and living on Senorio Roda since 30/05/18 .

In the U.K. I worked as a pest controller, trained and registered by the

Royal Society of Public Health .

What your describing sounds like bed bugs .

You really need a professional to deal with them .

Beware of big companies they sometimes charge extremely big prices.

Do not carry out any insecticide spraying of your own they will only run away and hide .

Bed bugs are small round translucent insects until they have taken a blood meal , they then look dark .

Slow moving and attracted by co2 hence bites on face shoulders neck .

If you put the light back on in the night you'll likely see them , have a look under the seems around the mattress, under any buttons sowed onto the mattress. Take the drawers out of bed side cabinets and look underneath the drawer at the back of it .

If on your inspection you come across any kill them with a pair of gloves on ...

Good luck 

All the best .
