Ms Bungay, from BCPA, said it was important not to be ashamed of having bedbugs in the home and to call in an expert pest controller, describing them as a " Public Health pest" although mainly in a psychological capacity.
" They 're not proven to transmit disease, but it's the psychological effect that They have on someone when you've got them in your home, " She Said .
" They feed from Our Blood , They just like us. "
