Renting, flats and getting it treated

Three in ten London households rent privately, against about one in five across England, according to the 2021 Census figures in Hammersmith and Fulham's borough profile. In that borough it is 37%, and three quarters of homes are flats or maisonettes. That matters for bed bugs in two ways.

First, the bill. If you rent, the landlord may be the one who has to arrange and pay for treatment, so report it to them or the agent in writing before booking anything yourself.

Second, the walls. In a converted house or a block, bugs can move between flats through gaps around pipes and wiring. A London exterminator should ask about the flats next door and above, and a managing agent may want them checked too.

Before the first visit

From Southwark Council's bed bug preparation plan. Your exterminator will give its own list; follow that.

Wash bedding and clothes at 60°C or more and tumble dry on the hottest setting.
Seal clean items in bin bags, and do not carry things between rooms.
Empty wardrobes and bedside units, and move furniture about 60cm from the walls.
Vacuum mattress seams and skirting, then put the bag in an outside bin.
Plan for everyone, pets included, to be out for at least four hours after a spray.

Questions from London

How much is a bed bug exterminator in London?

As a guide, £300 to £650 for a spray programme in a one-bed flat and £350 to £850 for two bedrooms. Heat treatment runs from about £550. These are national price-guide figures with Fantastic Services' 10 to 20% London uplift applied, not quotes.

Does my London borough treat bed bugs?

Some do. Hammersmith and Fulham lists £271.20 for two visits covering two bedrooms, and Croydon treats bed bugs and shows the price when you book. Others have no service or treat only council tenants, so check your own borough's site.

I rent a flat. Who should call the exterminator?

Tell your landlord or letting agent in writing first. Whether they pay depends on when and how the bed bugs arrived, and in a block the managing agent may want other flats checked at the same time.
