Visitors come to Holmfirth for the Last of the Summer Wine connection, and some bring bed bugs home or leave them behind. We find them, whichever way round.
Holmfirth is a Pennine village town in the Holme Valley, known for Last of the Summer Wine, and visitors arrive throughout the year. Holiday cottages, spare rooms and guest bedrooms see many different guests, and luggage can bring bed bugs with it. The stone cottages on steep hillsides are cosy, with uneven walls and timber, offering narrow gaps for the insects.
If you let a cottage or room, one confirmed case can affect future bookings, so quick action matters. We inspect beds and furniture, plan treatment and tell you what to wash or bag. Commercial service contracts are available for holiday-let owners, and the cost depends on the property and the visits needed.
Take the room out of use, avoid moving linen around the property, and get an inspection to confirm the cause. A technician can then treat the room and advise on laundry handling so the bugs are not spread to other bedrooms.
They live indoors where it is warm enough for people, so a cold climate outside does not remove them. An unheated spare room may slow them, but it is not a cure. Treat the problem, not the weather.
