Bed Bug Heat Treatment London
Heat that kills bed bugs and their eggs room by room, with a follow-up spray and a guarantee. From £504 per room
Heat That Reaches Where Bed Bugs Hide
Bed bugs hide where sprays can’t reach: mattress seams, sofa frames, skirting boards and plug sockets. Heat gets there too. Our technicians raise each room to around 60°C with electric heaters and hold it steady, with temperature sensors placed around the room so no cold spot is missed. Bed bugs die at every life stage: eggs, nymphs and adults.
Your treatment starts with an inspection. We check the high-priority areas, confirm which rooms need heat and tell you exactly how to prepare.
The heat treatment follows and takes 3–4 hours per room.
If your technician sees the need, a residual spray goes on cracks and gaps on the day. A follow-up spray about two weeks later completes the treatment at no extra charge.
And there’s no mountain of washing. Hang clothes on rails or lay them on the bed, and the heat treats them along with the room. Only heat-sensitive items need special care.
Heat is the fastest way to deal with an infestation that has spread: the main job is done in one day, and it reaches eggs that sprays can miss. For a small, early problem, spraying can be enough and costs less. Not sure? Our technician will tell you what your home needs after the survey, or you can compare every option on our bed bug control page.

Getting Ready for Heat Treatment
A little preparation helps the heat reach every hiding place:
- Make sure everyone, including pets and fish, is out of the property during the treatment
- Empty wardrobes and drawers and leave them open
- Remove all bedding, wash it at 60°C and bag anything you’ve washed
- Hang clothes on rails or lay them on the bed – the heat treats them, so there’s no need to wash them unless they’re heat-sensitive
- Freeze delicate items that can’t be washed, or leave them in the room to be heat-treated
- Move furniture away from the walls so heat reaches the skirting boards
- Take fragile items, electronics and artwork out of the rooms being treated
- Switch off the smoke alarms
After the treatment: open the windows for 5–10 minutes when you get back, and don’t vacuum or mop the treated areas for 5–7 days.

Not Sure It’s Bed Bugs? Compare Bug Bites
Bed bug bites are easy to mistake for flea or mosquito bites. Here’s how to tell before you book.
- Bed bug bites usually appear in a line or a small cluster on skin that was uncovered while you slept, such as the arms, neck, face or back. They’re raised and itchy, and look red or pink on white skin and brown, red or purple on black or brown skin.
- Flea bites are smaller and tend to sit around the ankles and lower legs. They’re more common in homes with cats or dogs.
- Mosquito and spider bites are usually single bites in random places, and they don’t keep appearing night after night in the same bed.
- New bites after every night in the same bed point to bed bugs. Not everyone reacts to the bites, so one person can be covered while the person next to them has none.
- Check the bed, not just your skin: small rusty or dark spots on the sheets and mattress seams, tiny pale eggs and shed skins are the clearest signs. See the signs of bed bugs or compare bed bug and flea bites.
- Found signs in more than one room, or on the sofa as well as the bed? That’s when heat treatment works best, because it treats every affected room in one visit.
- Still unsure? Our technician confirms it during the survey, before any heat treatment is booked, so you never pay for the wrong treatment.
