How Bed Bugs Spread Near Heathrow
High turnover flats around Hayes
Hayes's flats, many close to transport links into central London and Heathrow, see tenants come and go more often than the borough's quieter suburbs. Shared landings and stairwells make it easy for bed bugs to move from one flat to the next during a changeover.
Shared houses near West Drayton
West Drayton's mix of older cottages and converted houses includes a number let out room by room. In a shared house like that, bed bugs found in one bedroom often mean the whole property needs checking, not just the room where they were first seen.
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
