Earl's Court has the highest concentration of shared and short-stay accommodation in the borough — hostels, budget hotels and houses split into bedsits. That mix makes bed bugs the dominant problem: they travel with luggage, and in a building of single rooms with shared walls they spread quickly unless the whole property is treated at once rather than room by room.
