Houses converted into flats let bed bugs travel between rooms through gaps around pipes, floorboards and shared walls.
Signs to look for
Bites in rows
Itchy red bites on skin exposed during sleep, often in lines or small clusters. Bites alone cannot confirm bed bugs, as reactions vary and some people show none.
Dark spots
Small black or brown spots of digested blood on mattress seams, bed frames, headboards and nearby walls.
Marks on sheets
Tiny rust-coloured smears on sheets or pillowcases where a bug has been crushed after feeding.
Shed skins and eggs
Pale, empty skins and white eggs about 1 mm long tucked into seams, joints and screw holes.
