Bed Bug Control Ashford
New-build flats and houses sold with a mattress and furniture from a house clearance are a route in that has nothing to do with construction quality.
Bed Bug Control in Ashford
Bed bugs don't get into a building through a gap the way rats or mice do - they travel in luggage, on clothing, or inside secondhand furniture and mattresses. A brand-new house is exactly as vulnerable as an old one; what matters is what's been brought into it.
On a new estate, secondhand furniture bought to fill a house quickly - a mattress from a marketplace listing, a sofa from a house clearance - is a more common source than anything to do with the building itself.
Local pattern
It Travels With Belongings, Not Through The Walls
A survey checks the mattress, headboard and bed frame joints first regardless of how new the property is, since that's where bed bugs establish once they're in, whatever brought them there.
Always at least two visits - nothing available kills the eggs, so a second treatment after they hatch is standard, not an extra, whichever type of property it is.
New-build proofing that deals with rats and mice has no bearing on bed bugs at all - a well-sealed house is no more protected than an old one.

We're in a new-build - how would we even get bed bugs?
Almost always through something brought in - secondhand furniture, a mattress, or luggage - rather than anything to do with the building itself, new or old.
Will one visit sort it?
No - nothing kills the eggs, so a second treatment after they hatch is standard for every job, not an extra.
