Dense terraced streets make bed bugs a shared worry. We find where they are hiding, treat the bed and surrounding areas, and tell you how to stop them returning.
Radford's rows of Victorian terraces share party walls, and that matters with bed bugs. A colony in one bedroom can spread through gaps and wall cavities to the house next door, so a quick fix on one side is not always enough. When you call, we ask where you have noticed bites or marks and how long it has been going on, then inspect the bed, frame and furniture closely.
Older terraces often have loose skirting, old floorboards and cluttered back bedrooms, all useful hiding places. Our treatment is aimed at those spots as well as the mattress. We are BPCA members and fully insured. Afterwards we explain how to launder bedding, what not to move out of the room, and when a follow-up visit may be needed.
It is possible in terraces, as bed bugs can travel through gaps in shared walls. Checking your own bed seams and skirting early is sensible. We can inspect and tell you whether you have an infestation or just bites.
Usually not straight away. Bed bugs hide in the frame and room as well, so a new mattress in an untreated room can be re-infested. Wait for the inspection before spending money.
No. Bed bugs are picked up from travel, second-hand furniture and visitors, and can appear in clean homes and hotels.
