Bed Bug Treatment in Bexley
Bed bugs hide in mattresses, bed frames, headboards, furniture, skirting edges and small cracks around a bedroom, and they spread outward from the bed as the infestation develops. Treatment is £220 for the first room and £120 for each additional room.
Signs of Bed Bugs
Bites in a line or a small cluster on skin that was uncovered overnight. Dark spotting along a mattress seam, a bed frame joint or the wall behind the headboard. Shed skins, which look like empty translucent shells. Live insects in the piping of the mattress, the screw holes of a frame or the underside of a slat.
Bites alone are not proof - people react very differently and some do not react at all. Before assuming, strip the bed and look at the seams, the frame joints and the headboard fixings with a torch. If you find something, photograph it and send it on WhatsApp rather than starting to move things.

Preparation Is Half the Job
Bed bug work fails more often through preparation than through treatment. You will be given a preparation list when you book and it matters: bedding bagged and washed hot, clutter cleared from under and around the bed, furniture pulled off the walls so the edges can be reached, and nothing carried into another room.
That last point is the one people get wrong. Dragging an infested mattress through the house or moving to the sofa to escape the bites is how a one-room problem becomes a three-room problem. Do not throw the bed out either, at least not before it has been looked at - the frame and the room usually matter more than the mattress, and a new bed in an untreated room gets infested too.
