Bed Bug Treatment for Homes in London

How Do You Get Bed Bugs in the Home

Bed bugs, small parasites that feed on human blood, can infiltrate homes in various ways, including in a bustling city like London. They often hitchhike during travel, clinging to luggage or clothing in places like hotels, hostels, or even London’s busy Underground. Bringing these items home without inspection can introduce them.

Used furniture, mattresses, or clothing, common in London’s second-hand markets, may harbor bed bugs hidden in seams or crevices. Guests can unknowingly bring them into your home on bags or clothes, particularly in London’s densely packed flats where infestations can spread between units.

Public places like London’s cinemas, buses, or offices pose risks, as bed bugs can crawl onto belongings. In shared housing, they may migrate from neighboring units through walls or communal laundry facilities. Clothing from infested areas or contaminated laundry can also bring them home.

To prevent infestations, inspect items before bringing them indoors and wash clothes on high heat after travel. Stay alert for signs like blood stains, fecal spots, or itchy bites, especially in a city like London where bed bugs are a growing concern.
