How Bed Bugs Move Through Harrow's Flats
Flats near Harrow and Wealdstone stations
The denser housing near Harrow and Wealdstone stations includes a good number of flats with shared stairwells and a faster tenant turnover than the semis further out. Secondhand furniture and luggage moving between flats are the usual route, with bites noticed on waking often the first sign.
Shared houses across Wealdstone
Wealdstone's denser streets include a number of shared houses, where several unrelated occupants under one roof give bed bugs more chances to spread between rooms than a single-family semi would.
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
