How Bed Bugs Spread Around Havering
Flats above Romford's shopping parades
The flats sitting above shops around Romford town centre tend to have shared stairwells and high tenant turnover, both of which make it easy for bed bugs to travel from one flat to the next. A single infested mattress moved out during a changeover is a common way it starts.
Rented houses on the Harold Hill estate
Harold Hill has a large stock of rented family housing, and bed bugs here often arrive with secondhand furniture or belongings brought in at the start of a new tenancy. Because the estate's houses share roof and wall structures, we still treat each affected property on its own findings rather than assuming a shared cause.
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
