There was a period of time where there seemed to be an epidemic of parasitic insect infestations in North West London. As a result we decided to run a special offer and put advertisements in local newspapers offering incredible value on bed bug fumigation in Harrow.
We were inundated with calls and had literally a full week of week of work where all we dealt with, every day were bed bugs in the Harrow area. We sent out four teams, all of whom carried with them the necessary specialist equipment, including pesticides.
Bed bugs are incredibly prolific animals that can infiltrate and spread throughout buildings in an area with the merest contact. Sometimes all it requires is for someone with eggs attached on their clothing to enter someone’s house unknowingly. The eggs can then become detached, hatch in the new surroundings and within the space of a few hours a breeding population of insects has been established.
There was one road in particular, containing a mixture of houses and blocks of flats that seemed particularly prone. We must have worked our way through a third of the houses on the street. Nonetheless it was a very positive experience for our company and having such a high number of satisfied customers in a concentrated area really enhanced our local standing.
After a while we stopped running the special offer, but we still receive a large number of similar calls in Harrow simply through word of mouth recommendation.
