Bed Bug Treatment in London & the South East

Bed bugs are one of the few pest problems that come with a genuine stigma attached, which is exactly backwards, since they’ve got nothing to do with cleanliness and everything to do with travel, secondhand furniture, or simply living next to someone else who’s got them. Most people finding them for the first time are more stressed about the idea of it than the bites themselves.

Crittorz handles bed bug treatment across every London borough and the South East, discreetly, with technicians in unmarked vehicles and no reason for anyone else to know why we’re there.

Signs You've Got Bed Bugs

Small reddish-brown insects, roughly the size of an apple seed, are the clearest sign, usually found along mattress seams, headboards, and skirting near the bed. Bites in a line or cluster, often noticed on waking, are common but not universal, some people don't react to them at all, which is part of why an infestation can go unnoticed for a while. Small dark spots on bedding, which are bed bug droppings, and a faint musty smell in a heavily infested room round out the usual signs.

Why DIY Treatment Often Fails

Bed bugs are genuinely difficult to eliminate without professional-grade treatment. They hide in cracks and seams that are easy to miss, survive a surprising amount of general cleaning, and a partial treatment often just scatters them into neighbouring rooms rather than solving anything. This is one of the pest categories where calling early and getting it done properly the first time matters more than almost any other, since an infestation left to grow becomes considerably harder to clear.

Bed Bug FAQs

Does having bed bugs mean my home is dirty?

No, this is a common misconception. Bed bugs are about exposure, travel, secondhand furniture, proximity to other infestations, not cleanliness.

How many visits does treatment usually take?

Depends on severity, but most infestations need more than one visit to fully clear, since treatment needs to catch bugs at different life stages.

Do I need to throw away my mattress or furniture?

Not usually. Most infestations can be treated without replacing furniture, though we'll advise if anything specific needs attention.

Is the treatment safe for children and pets?

We use products approved for domestic use and will advise on any precautions needed around treated areas, particularly for anyone in the household with allergies or sensitivities.

How do I prepare for a bed bug treatment visit?

We'll give you specific guidance when you book, usually involving laundering bedding and reducing clutter around the affected area so treatment can be thorough.

Can bed bugs spread to other rooms if I don't act quickly?

Yes, which is why early treatment matters. Left alone, they can spread from a single room to elsewhere in the property.
