The Hardest Pests to Remove – And Why They’re So Persistent

Here at Cambridge Pest Control Pros, we’ve seen it all — from wasp nests in lofts to rats in restaurant basements. But when it comes to the most difficult pest to completely eliminate, one pest stands out:

Bed bugs.

Yes — those tiny, flat, reddish-brown insects may not look as scary as rats or wasps, but bed bugs are one of the most stubborn and complex infestations to treat in both residential and commercial properties.

 Why Are Bed Bugs So Hard to Get Rid Of?

There are several reasons bed bugs earn the top spot on our “most difficult” list:

• They hide extremely well – in mattress seams, furniture cracks, electrical sockets, and even behind wallpaper.

• They reproduce rapidly – a single female can lay hundreds of eggs in her lifetime.

• They’re resistant to many over-the-counter treatments – especially when DIY methods are used incorrectly.

• They only come out at night, making them hard to detect until the infestation is well established.

• They spread easily, particularly in flats, hotels, and student housing — common in a university town like Cambridge.

 Other Challenging Pests in Cambridge

While bed bugs are the most persistent, here are a few other notoriously tricky pests we often deal with in Cambridge:

 Rats

Rats are smart, adaptable, and often nest in hidden areas like lofts or wall cavities. DIY traps rarely solve the full problem without expert detection and proofing.

🪳 Cockroaches

These hardy insects can survive extreme conditions, hide in tiny cracks, and breed rapidly. Professional-grade insecticide and gel treatments are essential.

Squirrels (in lofts)

Grey squirrels are highly destructive, especially in roof spaces. They gnaw wires, insulation, and wood — and require humane, careful removal followed by proofing.
