Bloodsuckers (fleas, bedbugs) that attack humans and are capable of transmitting parasitic diseases. In Greece, their presence and their health importance is limited compared to the past, which is due to the better living and hygiene conditions.

Bedbugs are small parasitic insects flat, oval and red-brown in color. Female bed bugs lay 5-7 eggs a day and 200-500 during their lifetime and always in a protected position. A bed bug population may already be established by the time you notice a “bite”, especially during your sleep.

In general, due to the frequent trips and the increase in tourism in our country, the presence of bed bugs in Greece has increased. Bed bugs are used to being in various parts of our house such as mattresses, carpets, rugs, recesses, on the floor and in places such as skirting boards and in joints of tiles or wooden parquet. Usually, they approach humans only to suck blood and feed, while during the day they hide in cracks and crevices. It is worth noting that bed bugs mainly come home after traveling or after buying a new piece of furniture. Larger bed bug infestations are associated with dark or black stains on the mattress due to bed bug excretions.

The experienced and specialized technicians of our company carry out a thorough inspection of the area to locate the hiding place of the bed bugs. As can be seen, this is a difficult and tough insect and needs special disinfection using superheated dry steam. For this reason, the crew of Clemic Services A.E. suggests in some cases that the disinfection be repeated and gives advice before and after the disinfection to those concerned.

Regarding fleas, it is noteworthy that they transmit diseases, and are considered very dangerous insects. The conditions for the development of fleas are the average temperature at 18-30 oC and the humidity at 70-80%. Fleas are external parasites that feed on the blood of mammals and birds. They have great jumping ability due to the peculiar construction of their hind legs. Given this, fleas cannot hide since they jump up to 50 points with their hind legs, which are large and are used for jumping. Fleas are characterized by their high speed of reproduction as well as their persistence, which makes them difficult to combat. They appear during the evening hours and are attracted to the carbon dioxide of humans and pets. The bite of fleas causes severe itching and its danger is due to their quality as intermediate hosts for many parasites and thus can facilitate the spread of epidemics. The most important infections transmitted by fleas to humans are plague, endemic typhus and toenail disease.

Many signs indicate flea activity. First, a common indication is when your pets scratch repeatedly. This is caused by the activity of fleas that want to feed on the animal’s blood. Then, if people are bitten there is skin irritation and severe itching. Finally, you can tell by the dirt and feces of adult fleas.

The specialized workshops of Clemic Services S.A. with their many years of experience and their scientific approach to dealing with the appearance of fleas-bugs, they undertake the disinfection of any space with a guaranteed result, providing an immediate solution to:
