Preparation Tips for Faster Results

Laundering & Heat

Wash bedding and clothing at high temperatures (?60°C) and tumble dry on high. Seal cleaned items in fresh bags.

Declutter & Vacuum

Reduce clutter near beds/sofas. Vacuum seams, skirting and bed frames with a crevice tool; dispose of bags immediately.

Furniture Checks

Inspect headboards, slats and drawers. Avoid moving infested items between rooms to prevent spread.

Aftercare

Follow re-entry times, keep monitors in place and avoid deep-cleaning treated surfaces until advised.

Bedbug FAQs – Chigwell

How fast do bedbugs spread?: They can hitchhike quickly via luggage, furniture and clothing. Flats and terraced homes may see faster spread through shared walls and hallways.
Do bedbugs mean my home is unclean?: No—bedbugs feed on blood, not dirt. They occur in spotless homes and luxury hotels as well as shared accommodation.
Is DIY treatment enough?: Over-the-counter sprays rarely reach eggs and deep harbourages. Professional programmes with follow-ups are far more reliable.
How many visits will I need?: Typically 2–3 visits, 10–14 days apart, depending on property size and infestation level.
