How Bed Bugs Spread in Bromley
Shared houses near Bromley town centre
Close to Bromley High Street, houses split into rooms pick up bed bugs through secondhand furniture and luggage far more often than through any fault of the tenants themselves.
Flats around Penge
Penge's Victorian terraces, many converted into flats, share stairwells and bin stores that carry bed bugs between units — a single flat's treatment often needs the block's managing agent looped in to actually hold.
Signs to Look For
- Small reddish-brown insects in mattress seams, bed frames or skirting boards
- Tiny dark spotting on sheets — bed bug droppings
- Itchy bites in a line or cluster, often noticed on waking
- A faint, sweet, musty smell in a heavily infested room
- Pale, shed insect skins around the bed
