Preserve the useful clues
What helps establish whether bed bugs are present
A skin reaction is not enough to identify an infestation. More persuasive signs include a captured insect, dark spotting beside a mattress seam, cast skins or eggs in a protected furniture joint.
Place a suspected bug in a sealed transparent container and record the room and date. Clear photographs are valuable, particularly before bedding is changed or the surrounding surface is cleaned.
Explain whether anyone has recently travelled, received second-hand furniture or begun sleeping elsewhere. These details provide context; they are not a judgement on the household or proof of how the insect arrived.
A controlled sequence
How the appointment develops inside the flat
Inspect preparation
Access, sensitive belongings and agreed household actions are checked.
Position the system
Heaters, air movers and sensors are arranged around the actual contents.
Raise heat methodically
A supervised increase allows conditions to be assessed as they develop.
Compare probe data
Readings away from open air reveal where circulation may need adjustment.
Complete the handback
Cooling, re-entry and observations are explained to the responsible adult.
Use an appropriate method
Different rooms may require different controls
Supervised thermal treatment
A compatible room can be heated while fans distribute air and sensors follow less exposed locations. The operator remains responsible for adjustments.
Localised residual treatment
Clearly defined harbourages or heat-sensitive surroundings may make a targeted application the more practical choice.
Planned combination
Techniques can be sequenced when inspection supports both. The resident should understand why each stage is included.
Record before disturbing
Physical signs around beds and seating
A captured specimen
An uncrushed insect offers useful features for identification.
Dark clustered marks
Photograph spotting along seams, edges and recessed fittings.
Fine bedding stains
Small rusty smears can support other findings but are not conclusive.
Cast outer skins
Pale remains may be lodged under labels or inside frame joints.
Activity by a sofa
Seating deserves attention when someone regularly dozes or sleeps there.
A repeated-room pattern
Dated notes can show whether discoveries recur in the same place.

Reaching Silvertown properties
New developments, controlled entrances and dockside routes
Give the development and block name as well as the flat number. Explain whether reception must authorise contractors, whether a lift needs booking and where a vehicle can unload legally.
Construction diversions can change the practical entrance even when the postcode remains correct. A contact who can answer their phone and meet the team avoids carrying equipment to the wrong lobby.

Silvertown bed bug heat treatment FAQs
Can bites confirm that my flat has bed bugs?
No. Reactions have several possible causes, so look for physical evidence and seek identification.
Must the building manager be told?
Follow your agreement and building rules; management may need to approve contractor access or lift use.
Should neighbouring flats be treated too?
Not automatically. Any wider recommendation should follow evidence and an appropriate inspection.
Can belongings go into a communal cupboard?
Avoid moving unchecked items there, as doing so could spread activity beyond the original room.
What happens to smoke alarms during treatment?
Building systems and alarms must be discussed beforehand so the visit follows the site's safety arrangements.
May I leave food in the kitchen?
The answer depends on the agreed rooms and instructions; ask specifically about exposed food and packaging.
When can children and pets return?
The technician authorises re-entry after the work and suitable cooling, according to conditions on site.
Does the service include every room?
The quotation should name the included spaces. Bedrooms are not added merely because they share an address.
What should I do with a later specimen?
Seal it, label its exact location and date, then contact the team before changing the room.
