Bed bug treatment in Mumbai: signs, causes and what works
Bed bugs are small, flat insects that hide in mattresses, bed frames and sofas and feed on blood at night. They travel in luggage, bags and second-hand furniture.
- Bed bugs are not a sign of a dirty home — they spread through travel and furniture.
- They hide in seams and joints, so treatment must be thorough.
- Two sessions are needed to catch newly hatched bugs.
Signs to look for
- Itchy bites in a line or cluster, often on arms, legs or neck.
- Small rust or dark spots on mattress seams and bed sheets.
- Live bugs or pale shed skins in mattress seams, bed joints, sofa folds or behind headboards.
- A sweetish, musty smell in heavy infestations.
Why they come — and why it matters
- They come in on luggage, bags, clothes or used furniture.
- They move between rooms and neighbouring flats through gaps and wiring.
- Bites cause itching and sleepless nights; the stress can be as bad as the bites.
What you can do at home
- After travel, check luggage seams before bringing bags into the bedroom.
- Wash and dry bedding and clothes from affected rooms on high heat.
- Vacuum mattress seams, bed frames and sofa joints, then empty the vacuum outside.
- Don't move furniture from an infested room to another room.
When to call a professional
- You find live bugs or regular bites — home sprays rarely reach every hiding spot.
- Bugs come back within weeks after a DIY attempt.
- You run a PG, hostel, hotel or guest house.
How Pestofy treats it
Our technician inspects beds, sofas and furniture joints, then treats mattress seams, bed frames, sofas and cracks with a targeted spray. A second session about 14 days later catches bugs that hatch after the first visit.

Common questions
Should I throw away my mattress?
Usually no. Mattresses can be treated. Replacing a mattress without treating the room often brings the bugs back.
How do I prepare?
Remove bed linen, keep clothes from affected rooms ready to wash, and clear the area around beds so the technician can reach joints and seams.
Why are two sessions needed for bed bugs?
Bed bug eggs are protected from most treatments and hatch over the following one to two weeks. The second session, 14 days later, treats the young bed bugs that hatch after the first visit.
Where do bed bugs come from?
They usually arrive in luggage after travel, from hostels or PG rooms, or in second-hand beds and sofas. They do not mean a home is dirty.
