Don't switch bedrooms yet
Moving to another room feels like the sensible response, but it usually just gives bed bugs a second room to establish in. There's no need to change where you sleep just yet, stick with the usual bed and avoid moving loose bedding between rooms, much as it does near Thornton Heath, where dense Victorian terraces close to the town centre.
Confirming what you're seeing
A fed bed bug is small and flattish, reddish-brown in colour, roughly apple-pip sized, moving by walking rather than jumping, true near Shirley too, where suburban streets and gardens on the eastern edge of the borough. Dark spotting along a mattress seam, or tiny shed skins, are more telling than a bite pattern, since reactions differ so much between people - the same pattern holds near Selsdon, where leafy 1930s suburbia on high ground in the south-east of the borough.
Checking every bed
Begin at the mattress edge nearest the sleeper, working outward to the frame, headboard and the skirting board close by, as anyone near Purley will recognise, where leafy 1930s suburbia in the south of the borough. A spare bed or sofa-bed is worth checking too, what turns up there shapes the scope of any quote, as anyone near Addiscombe will recognise, where victorian and Edwardian terraces east of the town centre.
Converted office towers in the town centre
Bed bugs move between flats in the town centre's converted office towers just as easily as they do along a shared hallway in a house, since belongings and pipe runs give them a route regardless of the building's age. Letting other residents or the managing agent know as soon as you find something gives the block a better chance of catching it early.
Tell the right people
Tenants should notify the landlord or agent right away and check the tenancy terms on pests, much as it does near Addiscombe, where victorian and Edwardian terraces east of the town centre. In a shared house in Thornton Heath, tell your housemates too, since bed bugs can spread between rooms without anyone realising at first.
Booking bed bug treatment in Croydon
Bed bug treatment in Croydon runs £220 for the first room and £120 for each additional room, and because around Coulsdon, where outer suburban streets close to the Surrey boundary, it is worth mentioning which rooms you have checked when you book bed bug treatment, with what a visit involves set out on the Croydon bed bug treatment page.
