Bed Bug Control Gillingham
Street after street of inter-war semis, and a bed bug problem that has nothing to do with the cavity wall behind them.
Bed Bug Control in Gillingham
Unlike the cavity-wall route mice use in Gillingham's inter-war semis, bed bugs have no interest in the building's construction at all - the risk comes entirely from what's been brought in, whatever the house type.
A semi-detached property doesn't carry the shared-void risk a converted flat does, since a solid party wall stops bed bugs the way it doesn't stop a mouse using a cavity.
Local pattern
The Cavity Wall That Matters For Mice Is Irrelevant Here
A survey follows the usual approach regardless of house type - mattress, headboard and bed frame first, in whichever room reported a problem.
There's no equivalent to the cavity-wall spread pattern seen with mice in this construction - a single-family semi's risk stays within that household's own rooms.
Two visits are standard for any confirmed case, the same as any property type.

Could bed bugs spread through the cavity wall the way mice do here?
No - bed bugs need direct contact or close proximity, not a wall cavity, so this construction detail that matters for mice is irrelevant to bed bugs.
Is a semi at more risk than a detached house?
Not particularly - it comes down to what's been brought into the house, not the construction type.
How much is bed bug control in Gillingham?
From £220 per room, always including the follow-up visit.
