FAQs
Our professional heat treatment uses specialist equipment to raise the temperature throughout the affected area to a level that is lethal to bed bugs. The heat penetrates mattresses, furniture, wall cracks, carpets, and other hiding places, eliminating bed bugs at every stage of their life cycle, including eggs. This provides a fast, effective, and chemical-free solution for complete bed bug removal.
Yes. Heat treatment is widely regarded as one of the most effective methods for eliminating bed bugs because it kills adults, nymphs, and eggs in a single process. Unlike chemical treatments, it reaches hidden areas that sprays often miss and leaves no harmful chemical residue behind.
The length of treatment depends on the size of the property and the severity of the infestation. Most residential treatments take several hours to complete, including preparation, heating, monitoring, and cooling. Our technicians will provide an estimated treatment time following your initial inspection.
In many cases, one professional heat treatment is enough to eliminate the entire infestation. However, the outcome depends on factors such as the size of the infestation, the condition of the property, and whether bed bugs have spread to multiple rooms. Our technicians will advise if any additional treatment is recommended.
Yes. Heat treatment does not rely on harsh pesticides or chemical sprays, making it a safer option for families and pet owners. Our technicians follow strict safety procedures throughout the treatment process and provide guidance on when it is safe to re-enter the property after the treatment has been completed.
Before treatment, you'll receive detailed preparation instructions from our team. This may include removing heat-sensitive items, reducing clutter, washing bedding if advised, and ensuring technicians have access to all affected rooms. Proper preparation helps achieve the best possible treatment results.
Professional heat treatment eliminates the existing infestation, but new bed bugs can still be introduced through travel, second-hand furniture, or visitors. Following our prevention advice and carrying out regular inspections can significantly reduce the risk of future infestations.
No. Although mattresses and bed frames are common hiding places, bed bugs can also live in sofas, upholstered chairs, wardrobes, carpets, curtains, electrical sockets, skirting boards, luggage, and behind wallpaper. This is why professional inspections are so important before treatment begins.
Common signs include itchy bite marks, small blood stains on bedding, black droppings around the mattress, shed skins, tiny white eggs, and occasionally a musty odour. If you notice any of these warning signs, it's best to arrange a professional inspection as soon as possible to prevent the infestation from spreading.
