We found that we had quite a large infestation of bedbugs in two bedrooms last summer.
Fortunately, we called Muhammad Akram first and he responded very quickly, coming over the same day and starting treatment 2 days later. He was knowledgeable, thorough, and very detailed-oriented. He gave us a clear analysis of the situation. He showed us what to look for in terms of bugs, their eggs and marks of droppings. We were happy that his approach is to do a very thorough treatment, with follow-ups, as we did not want there to be any chance of recurrence (as far as possible). It has now been 6 months and there have been no signs.
As we were going through this we found that neighbours also had bedbugs. They had used another company which had sprayed a number of times over the prior 5 months. They had spent considerable money and were at their wit's end about the problem. We suggested Mr. Akram and he managed to clear their entire house as well.
One piece of advice we’d give would be to decide at the beginning which furniture to keep and have treated by Mr. Akram, and which to throw out and replace. We ended up
having him treat some pieces that we then threw out which wasted time, effort and money. Talk to him up front, listen to his advice and then decide. (e.g. he advised throwing out bed slats, which take a long time to treat, but we didn’t, then later found replacements at Ikea).
Overall, be prepared for lots of work (moving furniture, cleaning) and expense. Having bedbugs was a major event, in terms of time and money. If this is happening to you, remember that you will get through it, and it does end if you have a professional like Mohammed Akram on your side.
We found him to be very knowledgeable, professional and trustworthy, and would recommend him highly.
