How Bed Bugs Reach Borough Homes
Guest rooms in Twickenham's larger houses
The larger houses around Twickenham, some close to the stadium and used for match-day lets or regular guests, see bed bugs travel in with luggage rather than appear on their own. A guest room used repeatedly over a period without a proper check is a common starting point.

In the converted flats closer to Richmond town centre, a let-out room with a run of different occupants carries the same risk, with bites often the first thing anyone notices.
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
