Heat treatment is the fastest and most effective method for eliminating bed bug infestations, as these pests cannot survive at high temperatures. Our heat treatment eliminates bed bugs hiding in hard-to-reach areas that traditional chemical treatments often miss.
Bed bugs have increasingly developed resistance to conventional chemical pesticides, which typically require multiple applications and may not fully eradicate the infestation. Our hot air treatments eliminate bed bugs in all life stages and nearly all other pest insects found in the UK. Our residential and commercial heat treatments in London and the surrounding areas, have proven to be the most effective way to completely eradicate any bed bug infestation while preserving furniture and ensuring safety for objects and sensitive equipment.
What is Heat Treatment?
Heat treatment for bed bugs is a non-toxic method of extermination that uses high temperatures to eliminate bed bugs at all stages of their life cycle. This process involves heating rooms with hot air to a temperature that is lethal to bed bugs while remaining safe for your home and belongings.
This method leaves no harmful residue, making it a safe and environmentally friendly option. Our bed bug heat treatment in London is a quick and reliable solution, taking just a few hours to heat the designated areas, allowing for immediate return to your home or office space once cooled.
However, while heat treatment is the most effective method for eliminating bed bugs, in cases of severe infestation or when DIY insecticides have been repeatedly used, a professional chemical spray treatment may be necessary following the heat treatment.
How Do We Perform the Bed Bug Heat Treatment Service?
Our technicians use specialized electric heaters to raise the temperature in each room to 60°C. This heat kills bed bugs at all life cycle stages while remaining safe for people, pets, and belongings. We use sensors to monitor and control the temperature carefully, ensuring consistent heat throughout your property. Unlike other methods, heat treatment reaches every crack, crevice, and hidden space where bed bugs may hide. Standard temperature changes in most homes can give bed bugs a cooler area to escape, but our heat treatment maintains the required temperature across the entire property, ensuring complete bed bug eradication.
How To Prepare For The Heat Treatment?
Our heat treatment effectively kills bed bugs, but following these steps is essential for a safe and successful treatment:
- Strip all beds and clear out any storage areas.
- Declutter the treated rooms by removing clothing, electronics, papers, boxes, and other items.
- Remove heat-sensitive items like cosmetics and plants.
- Take out any flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and batteries, before we begin the treatment.
Although the heat is non-toxic and safe, we ask that you and your pets leave the premises during the treatment and only return once the temperature has returned to a safe, comfortable level.
How Much Does the Heat Treatment Cost?
Bed bug heat treatment prices vary based on factors like property size and the extent of the infestation. For instance, treating a small apartment will cost less than treating a large home or business with multiple rooms.
Heat treatment costs more than steam and spray treatment because it requires specialized equipment to heat the area to high temperatures, ensuring complete bed bug elimination. The process also involves a longer setup and monitoring time to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Heat treatment usually requires only one visit to eliminate the infestation, while spray treatments may need several visits over weeks or months.
