How it works
Bed bugs and their eggs die when held above about 50°C for long enough. We heat rooms to 50–60°C and hold that heat until the hardest-to-reach spots stay above 50°C. Our technicians place temperature probes in the places bed bugs favour, such as mattress seams, bed frames, skirting boards and sofa joints, and watch the readings live so no room is left short.
A typical Chelmsford job might be a three-bedroom house on a new-build estate in Springfield, or a Victorian terrace in Moulsham shared by several tenants. We plan the heat room by room so bedrooms, landings and living areas all reach temperature, and we send clear preparation advice before the day.
Most treatments are completed within a day, and you can usually move back in after about 2 hours, unless your technician advises otherwise. Qualifying treatments are covered by our 12-week guarantee. See how our heat treatment works

Local insight
Chelmsford is a busy commuter city, with many residents travelling into London by train each day and returning to homes in Springfield, Broomfield and Great Baddow. Daily travel, work trips and holidays all give bed bugs a chance to hitch a ride home in bags and luggage. The city also has plenty of new-build estates, where people often move in with second-hand furniture or belongings from a previous address.
Around the city centre and Moulsham you will find Victorian and Edwardian terraces, flats above shops and modern apartment blocks, many of them rented. Students at the Anglia Ruskin University campus often live in shared houses and flats, and the regular turnover of tenants means bed bugs can arrive with a new occupant before anyone notices. In flats and terraces, bed bugs can also travel between neighbouring homes through gaps around pipes and shared walls.
If you have noticed bites, small blood spots on bedding or dark marks along mattress seams, act early. A smaller infestation is quicker and less disruptive to treat than one that has spread through the whole home.

Pricing
Whole-property bed bug heat treatment in Chelmsford starts from £895. The final price depends on the size and layout of the property, how far the infestation has spread and how much preparation is needed. A four-bedroom family house in Great Baddow or a shared house with several let rooms takes more equipment and time than a one-bedroom flat in the city centre, and parking and access around the centre can affect how we set up on the day.
Because we travel out from London, we confirm the price after a survey or a detailed conversation about the property, so you know what is included before we start. Qualifying treatments carry our 12-week guarantee. See our bed bug treatment prices for what is included and the full guarantee terms.
Reviews
Recently had my flat heat treated in London against bed bugs, from start to finish they were professional and got the job done. Thank you Gavin and the team.
Leione Samantha
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%

Had a great experience with this company
ThermoPest were great from start to finish. They are very knowledgeable and explained everything to be before they started the work.
They were discrete in their operation and managed to totally rid my spare bedroom of bed bugs. It’s been 3 weeks now and no sign of the bugs returning, so I would say a perfect service. Highly recommend.

FAQs

Council pest control services vary and can change, so it is worth checking with Chelmsford City Council directly. Many people choose a specialist for heat treatment instead. Our guide to council vs private bed bug treatment explains the differences.
It depends on the tenancy and how the bed bugs arrived. Landlords are often responsible where an infestation was present before the tenant moved in or is linked to the building, while a tenant may be asked to pay if they brought bed bugs in. We provide treatment documentation for both landlords and tenants.
Yes. We treat student lets, shared houses and flats near the Anglia Ruskin University campus and across the city. We give clear preparation advice to every housemate, as all rooms in a shared house usually need to be included for the treatment to work well.
It is possible. Bed bugs can travel in bags, coats and luggage, so regular train travel, hotel stays and work trips all carry some risk. Checking your bags after a trip and acting quickly on bites or marks on bedding helps. Our guide on how to check a hotel room for bed bugs has practical tips.
Most treatments are completed within a day, depending on the size of the property and how many rooms are affected. You can usually move back in after about 2 hours, unless your technician advises otherwise. We travel out from London, so we plan the day carefully before we arrive.
Qualifying treatments carry our 12-week guarantee. If live bed bug activity is found within 12 weeks, we return as set out in the guarantee terms. See our pricing and guarantee page for full details.
