High heat is one of the most efficient and eco-friendly ways to treat bed bugs. Unlike traditional chemical treatments, it doesn’t rely on pesticides, making it a completely safe option for homes, hotels, and workplaces. Here’s why it stands out:
During heat treatment, we use specialist high-powered indirect-fired heaters to safely and effectively raise a room’s temperature to between 49°C and 60°C, maintaining this lethal range for a sustained period.
These industrial-grade heaters are calibrated to reach the exact temperatures needed to eliminate bed bugs at every stage of their life cycle, including eggs, which are often resistant to chemical treatments.
Heat treatment works by breaking down the essential proteins and enzymes that bed bugs rely on to live. This effective method targets the pest at a biological level, making it highly effective for complete eradication. Unlike chemical treatments, which often fail to reach deep hiding spots, heat penetrates every crack and crevice — leaving bed bugs with nowhere to escape.
At ThermoPest, we specialise in bed bug control services through advanced heat treatment. Unlike companies that use chemicals and sprays, we use powerful industrial heaters to eliminate bed bugs at every stage — including eggs.
Here’s why ThermoPest’s Bed Bug Heat Treatments stands out:
Discreet & Professional – We operate with care, respect, and total confidentiality.
Proven Heat Technology – Safe, chemical-free, and highly effective at every life stage.

Bed bugs can quickly damage even the strongest reputations. All it takes is one social media post, and a hotel, hostel, or any business in hospitality or care can find itself emptied of guests and with no new bookings in sight.

Yes, but it’s a straightforward process — and we’ll guide you every step of the way.

Larger homes may require more than one day for successful treatment, and commercial properties will vary based on the number of rooms or areas that need treating.
As well as bed bugs, heat treatment can kill textile moths, cockroaches, wood-boring pests and fleas. Contact our team today.
We use indirect-fired, industrial-grade heaters that offer precise temperature control, safe indoor operation, and even heat distribution. Unlike propane heaters, ours don’t release moisture or combustion gases indoors and can safely maintain the required temperature range needed to kill bed bugs throughout the entire space — including hard-to-reach areas.
The cost depends on the size of the property and the severity of the infestation.
While it may be more expensive upfront than chemical treatments, it’s often a one-time solution — saving you money in the long run by avoiding repeat visits.
Bed bug infestations often need multiple treatments because eggs hatch in cycles over several weeks, and some infested rooms may be harder to access. Even with effective steam treatments and heat systems, cold spots can prevent full extermination in one go. A thorough inspection by trained professionals ensures all areas are covered to rid your property of pests completely.
Heat treatment uses high temperatures monitored with temperature sensors to kill bugs at all life stages. It’s an environmentally friendly method that avoids chemical residues—ideal for sensitive homes and commercial premises. However, for best results, heat must be applied correctly, as missed zones or cold spots can allow bed bugs or other insects to survive.
While aerosol cans may kill visible bugs on contact, they’re rarely effective long-term. Without the expertise of trained professionals, pests can retreat into hidden spaces. Moreover, improper use may worsen the infestation by scattering bugs to new areas. A professional method leaves no room for survival when applied strategically.
Yes – bed bugs easily move between locations, especially if not treated promptly. We’ve managed severe infestations in Grove Park, East Ham, Seven Kings, West Brompton, and Notting Hill – including in commercial premises where foot traffic increases the chance of spreading. Treat the entire infested area thoroughly to avoid reinfestation.
