Guide
In an apartment building, bed bugs are rarely confined to one flat for long. They travel along skirting boards, service ducts and shared walls.
That makes two things important: containing the situation in your own flat, and reporting it so that adjoining units can be checked.
Is this urgent?
Nests at entrances, rodents in food areas or a sting risk for allergy sufferers are treated as urgent.
In general the landlord is responsible for remedying an infestation, while tenants must report it promptly and give access for inspection and treatment. Reporting in writing protects both sides and speeds up the process.
In buildings with several units, the property management usually arranges a coordinated inspection – treating a single flat while neighbours remain unchecked tends to fail.
A structured inspection of the whole sleeping area comes first, then a method chosen for the property: heat treatment, targeted application of approved products, or a combination.
A follow-up check a few weeks later confirms whether the population has actually been eliminated.
