How it works
Our bed bug heat treatment process is the same whether you’re in a student house in Portswood or a hotel near the cruise terminal — thorough, discreet and completed in a single visit.
Our technicians raise the temperature of your property to between 49°C and 60°C, maintaining that lethal range for a sustained period. This level of heat penetrates deep into mattresses, furniture joints, skirting boards and wall voids — every place bed bugs and their eggs hide.
Unlike chemical treatments which can miss hidden life stages and require multiple visits, heat treatment kills bed bugs and eggs at every life stage. Most homes are treated in a day, you can move back in 2 hours after we finish, and you are covered by our 12-week guarantee.

Local insight
Southampton has a distinctive and well-documented bed bug risk driven primarily by its status as the UK’s busiest cruise terminal. Cruise ships are one of the most common sources of bed bug infestations — passengers from hundreds of different countries travelling in close quarters create ideal spread conditions. Southampton residents who cruise regularly, and those who work in the port and maritime sector, face elevated exposure compared to inland cities.
Southampton’s two universities generate a large student rental market in Portswood, Highfield and Bevois Valley, and the city’s significant hotel sector serving port passengers adds further to commercial treatment demand.
If you’ve noticed bites, blood spots on bedding or small dark marks on your mattress seams, don’t wait. Early treatment is faster, less disruptive and less expensive than dealing with a fully established infestation.
Pricing
Whole-property bed bug heat treatment in Southampton starts from £895. Your final quotation depends on the property’s size and layout, the extent of the infestation, access, preparation requirements and any areas requiring additional treatment.
Our treatment combines professional heat equipment with live temperature monitoring to target bed bugs at every life stage, including adults, nymphs and eggs. Where required, we also use targeted residual treatments and monitoring to help reduce the risk of surviving activity. Qualifying whole-property treatments include a 12-week treatment guarantee, subject to terms. See our bed bug treatment pricing for current prices, what is included and full guarantee information.
Reviews
Very good service for a very nasty job. Would be very happy to recommend them to friends and colleagues.
Chelsea Lei
We’d been dealing with bed bugs for a couple of months in our London flat and it was a nightmare. At first, we tried sprays and DIY methods, but the problem just kept coming back. We were honestly at the point of thinking we’d have to replace our mattress and furniture.
That’s when a friend recommended ThermoPest. From the start, they were really reassuring and explained how their bed bug heat treatment in London works. The technicians arrived on time, set everything up, and were very professional throughout.

Thanks to Bed Bug Treatment Pros for the work they carried out, they exterminated the problem quickly.
Jake
Moved in to a house where there were bedbugs and Jamie came round the next day to have a look. He started the treatment that day and the heat treatment came came out a few days later. They got rid of them and the lovely lady in the office also put up with my constant texts looking for advice and reassurance. Thanks a million will definitely recommend you 100%

We cover all of Southampton including Portswood, Highfield, Shirley, Bitterne, Hedge End, Eastleigh, Totton and surrounding Hampshire areas.
Southampton has above-average bed bug prevalence driven by its role as the UK's busiest cruise terminal and a major international ferry port. Cruise and ferry travel are among the highest-risk activities for bed bug exposure — infestations frequently originate from passenger vessels. Southampton's two universities and large student rental market add further risk, as does the city's significant hotel sector serving port passengers.
Yes — Southampton and Solent universities generate a large student population concentrated in Portswood, Highfield and Bevois Valley. Student HMOs are a frequent treatment case across the city. We work with students and landlords, treating individual rooms or whole properties. See our Letting Agents page for more.
In most cases the landlord is responsible for treating a pre-existing infestation, while tenants may be liable if they introduced the infestation after moving in. Southampton has a large student and maritime workforce rental sector — landlord responsibility questions are common across both. We provide full treatment documentation for both parties. Call us for impartial advice on your specific situation.
Yes significantly. Southampton handles millions of cruise passengers annually and cruise ships are a well-documented source of bed bug infestations. We regularly treat properties in Southampton where infestations have been traced back to cruise travel. Hotels near the port are also common treatment cases, as are the properties of maritime workers who travel regularly. See our Hotels sector page for more.
