The Arithmetic

How It Got to Three Rooms

There are only a few routes, and most of them are avoidable.

• Someone moved rooms to escape the bites, twice. The commonest story
• It ran for months before anyone identified it — often mistaken for a rash or fleas
• A mattress or sofa was relocated and took them along
• Bedding was carried through the house repeatedly
• Multiple people arrived with them — a family holiday, or shared luggage
• A sofa was slept on, adding the living room

What Counts as a Room

Bed bugs are tied to where people sleep and rest. Unlike fleas, a hallway is not part of the job.

Preparing Three Rooms

• All three prepared to the same standard — half-preparing one undoes the others
• Strip and hot-wash all bedding from every room, then bag it sealed
• Clear floors and under beds throughout
• Do not move anything between the rooms, including laundry baskets
• Empty bedside furniture and under-bed storage
• Vacuum all three, then empty into a sealed bag outside
• Pull all beds away from walls

Every Room Total

Where to Sleep During Treatment

• Keep sleeping in the treated rooms unless we tell you otherwise. You are what draws the bugs out of harbourage into the treatment
• Do not move to a fourth room. That is how this becomes £580
• Do not sleep on the sofa
• Do not stay with family and take a bag of bedding with you
• If you must be out of a room after treatment, we will tell you and for how long

Why It Has to Be All Three at Once

• An untreated room reinfests the treated ones within weeks
• Bed bugs move toward carbon dioxide, so they follow people between rooms
• Doing it in stages costs more — each later visit starts again at £220
• And it takes longer, because the clock restarts
• The follow-up visits cover all treated rooms at no extra charge

If It Is a Converted Flat

Three rooms in a converted property is worth a further question: is it only your flat?

• Ask immediate neighbours, particularly through a shared wall
• A long-standing infestation next door is a genuine route in a conversion
• A building-wide problem is the freeholder's or managing agent's to coordinate
• Tell us if a neighbour has them — it changes what we inspect and advise
• Treating your three rooms while the flat next door is untreated may not hold

Related Questions

Can I do two rooms now and one later?

The untreated room reinfests the others. £220 plus £220 is more than £460, and it works less well.

Is a sofa a room?

The room it is in counts as a room, if it needs treating.

How long will three rooms take?

Typically two to four weeks across the visits — the same as one room.
