Bed Bug Control Bletchley
Bed bug treatment across Bletchley, Fenny Stratford, Water Eaton and Old Bletchley — terraces, maisonettes and rented property.
Bed Bug Control in Bletchley
Bletchley is largely pre-war and post-war terraced and semi-detached housing, with a good deal of it now let. Two things follow from that. The party walls are solid brick but the services through them are not, and a high proportion of the bedrooms have had more than one occupant in the last few years.
Older terraces also tend to have the things bed bugs like: original skirting with a gap behind it, picture rails, loose paper in a chimney breast alcove, and bed frames that have been in the room longer than the tenant.
Ring 01908 465226 and tell us what you have seen in Bletchley.
Terraces
Solid Walls, Old Skirting and Deep Harbourage
In a 1930s terrace the bed is rarely the whole story. We regularly find spotting behind skirting that has pulled away from the plaster, in the gap under a picture rail, and inside the screw holes of a wooden bed frame that has been apart and back together twice.
That is not a reason for alarm, it is a reason for the torch to go round the room properly before anything is treated. A treatment aimed only at the mattress in a house like this will leave a population behind and you will be ringing us again in a month.

Rented
Rented Terraces and Changeovers
A lot of the Bletchley work we do is at changeover, and the useful thing about a changeover is that the room is empty and accessible. A bed bug treatment in an empty room is faster, more thorough and cheaper in time than the same treatment around a family.
If you are a landlord or an agent and there is a void coming up on a property with any history, that is the window to use. We can give you a written account for the file afterwards.
What we ask
Booking a Visit in Bletchley
Tell us the age of the property, how many bedrooms are affected, and whether it is tenanted or empty. That decides most of what we need to know before we arrive.
After the visit you get a plain account of what was found and what was done, including anything sitting at a shared boundary. Landlords, agents and businesses get it in writing for their own records.
If heat is likely to be the better method for the room, there is a separate page on it: bed bug heat treatments in Bletchley.
Before you book
Bed Bug Control in Bletchley — Questions
We are mid-terrace. Can they come through the wall?
Through the brick itself, no. Through what passes through the brick — socket boxes, cable routes, pipework, and the void under a shared floor in a converted property — yes, and it is common enough that we check it as standard.
The bed frame is old and wooden. Does it have to go?
Usually not. Wooden frames give them more places to sit, but they also take heat and targeted treatment well. We would rather treat it than have you buy a new frame and put it into an untreated room.
