Bed bug heat treatment — thermal extermination in one visit

What is bed bug heat treatment?

Bed bug heat treatment (also called thermal bed bug treatment, bed bug control by heat or bed bug heat extermination) uses dedicated industrial heaters to bring the air and contents of a room up to a lethal core temperature. Once held there, every life stage of the bed bug — adults, nymphs and eggs — is killed. Unlike sprays, heat reaches every crack, crevice, mattress seam and behind every skirting board at the same time.

Why heat works when sprays fail

Bed bugs have become widely resistant to many residual insecticides, and sprays cannot reach the deep harbourages where eggs are laid. A single missed pocket of eggs restarts the infestation a few weeks later. Heat is purely physical — there is no resistance and no place to hide from it.

Our process

• Survey — we identify the harbourages and confirm the species before quoting.
• Preparation — we send a clear preparation list so heat-sensitive items are protected.
• Heat treatment — industrial heaters and high-volume fans circulate lethal heat through the whole room.
• WiFi monitoring — wireless sensors log temperature in real time so we can prove the kill zone was achieved everywhere.
• Guarantee — every treatment is backed by our 6-month written guarantee.
