Help! My House Is Infested

In this brand new programme Sarah Beeny and a team of expert pest busters come to the rescue of homeowners suffering from serious cases of infestations: battling moths, rats and bedbugs at a time when infestations are reaching epidemic levels.

Moths cause hundreds of thousands of pounds a year in damage to clothes and furnishings. Sarah meets architect Kate Grose whose clothes are being eaten away in her two bed maisonette. She brings in moth expert Paul Bates who shows where to look for the pests all over the house, and most importantly, how to be rid of them.

With rats set to outnumber humans by three to one, Sarah brings expert rat catcher Jim England to the family home of Stuart and Lynne Gould, who for three years have been trying to stop an infestation of rats above the ceilings over their heads. Sarah and Jim use tracking dust and special cameras to find how the rats are getting in, and have to bring in the builders to protect the house from invasion.

And with Britain in the grip of a bed bug epidemic, Sarah brings expert Mark Astley to help Tania Ives who has been driven into sleeping in just one room with her five children by an infestation. Mark uses new techniques like extreme heat to exterminate the bloodsucking creatures, and even a trained sniffer dog, but it's still a battle to win Tania's home back for her family.

The programme is full of helpful tips for viewers on how to prevent infestations, with information on how to detect them, how pests and vermin behave, what dangers they pose, as well as advice on how to get rid of them.
