Solutions for businesses →Clues that should prompt you to act
- 01Clustered or lined-up bites noticed on waking
- 02Black dots along mattress seams and labels
- 03Small blood spots on the sheets
- 04Pale shed skins in the cracks of the bed base
- 05A faintly sweet smell in a heavily affected room
Bed bugs are not a sign of poor hygiene: they arrive in a suitcase, a second-hand piece of furniture or a bag of laundry. By day they hide in mattress seams, bed-frame joints, behind a headboard or a skirting board, and only come out at night to feed.
After a room-by-room inspection, the technician treats with very hot dry steam, which kills eggs and adults on contact, then applies an approved insecticide only in the refuges he has found. When you book you receive a preparation sheet (bedding washed at 60 °C, sealed bags), and a follow-up visit is scheduled about two weeks later to deal with any hatchlings.
How the visit unfolds
The Sentinel Protocol always follows the same order: we inspect before treating, sanitise before leaving and plan the follow-up.
Included in every visit
- A photo report emailed on the day of the visit
- A two-hour slot and a call before arrival
- A published price, paid online before the visit
- A technician holding the Certibiocide
- Approved products, used only where needed
- Written advice to reduce the risk of pests returning
01
Inspect
Every bed, piece of furniture and skirting board examined by torch, hotspots and unaffected rooms identified.
02
Treat
Dry steam on mattresses, bed bases and fabrics, approved insecticide in cracks and refuges only, no room-wide spraying.
03
Sanitise
Full encasements where needed, instructions for laundry and luggage, unaffected rooms kept separate so the bugs don't spread there.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to get rid of the mattress?
Rarely. Dry steam followed by a full encasement is enough in most cases. We only suggest replacing a mattress if it is torn, because bed bugs can then hide inside, out of the treatment's reach.
How do I prepare my home before the visit?
Wash bedding and any washable clothes at 60 °C, store them in sealed bags, clear the area around the beds and along the skirting boards, and vacuum, throwing the bag away straight after. The full checklist is emailed to you when you book.
Detailed answer →Why a second visit?
A few eggs can stay protected in a crevice during the first treatment. The follow-up visit, timed after they hatch, deals with that generation before it can breed.
I live in a block of flats: are my neighbours affected?
Possibly, since bed bugs move through ducts and along skirting boards. In a co-owned building, inform the syndic, the managing agent that runs the building: inspecting neighbouring flats reduces the risk of bugs coming back from next door.
