Student lets, terraces and inter-war homes make Beeston a varied patch. We identify the pest, treat it and explain how to keep it from returning.
Beeston has a large student population, plus Victorian terraces and inter-war housing, and the calls we get reflect that. Rented properties see bed bugs and fleas at turnover, when luggage and furniture come and go. Family homes more often see mice in autumn and wasps in the loft by summer's end. It helps to check mattress seams, bed frames and skirting boards for dark spots or live insects before a new tenancy begins, and again if bites appear.
If you let property, ask about a prevention survey between tenancies. If you are a tenant, note where you have seen droppings or bites and tell your landlord promptly. We can then identify and treat the cause. Bed bugs are not a sign of poor housekeeping, so there is no need to feel embarrassed. Landlords can book us between lets for a survey, which is far easier than dealing with a problem that has taken hold during a term.
That depends on the tenancy agreement and what caused the problem. Check yours or ask your landlord. Either can book us, and we explain what has been found. Early notice allows quicker treatment and limits spread between rooms, so report anything suspicious in writing and keep any evidence such as photographs of insects or droppings.
No. They travel on luggage, clothes and furniture, and can turn up in clean homes. The key is to spot them early and treat the right areas. Someone must have noticed first and told the right person, so speak to your landlord, keep copies of what you send and do not wait if the problem is getting worse.
No. There are no call-out charges, and prices are fixed so you know what you are paying before we arrive.
A mouse can squeeze through a gap about the width of a pencil. In Beeston's older terraces and student lets, that is more than enough room to move in.
Read the advice →It is the larvae, not the flying moths, that chew your wool and cashmere. In a Beeston student let or Victorian terrace they can go unseen for months.
