How Bed Bugs Spread in Camden
Shared houses in Camden Town
Around Camden Town's market and high street, houses split into rooms turn over short-term tenants quickly, and each new arrival's furniture or luggage is a possible way in for bed bugs that came from somewhere else entirely.
Student lets near King's Cross
King's Cross's mix of regenerated blocks and older terraces has some of the highest student churn in the borough — bed bugs there are usually picked up mid-tenancy but only reported once the room changes hands.
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
