Bed Bugs In The Care Home

Understandably it was important to the client that the problem was resolved as soon as possible, so it was arranged to attend the property that afternoon.

On arrival at Mr & Mrs W’s property in Ockendon, it was immediately apparent that the mattress had a bed bug infestation and the whole room would need to be treated to stop the infestation spreading further to other rooms.

Whilst talking to Mrs W it was established, they had just arrived back from a holiday abroad, and it was then that we could put the clients mind at rest as it was likely this is how they bought them iintotheir home.  The client was advised that all the bedding needed to be washed on the hottest temperature before reuse, this was done whilst we talked treating the infestation.  A Chemical treatment was completed on the mattress, soft furnishings and carpets in the room, a further appointment was then made for the following week to repeat the process again.  On return the same treatment was carried out even though the client had seen no further signs of bed bugs, but it’s better to be totally sure so that the property would be bed bug free.
