Our process
At ThermoPest, every heat treatment is delivered as part of a full Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy as standard. While our advanced thermal treatment is the primary method used to eliminate the infestation, we automatically include detailed inspection, environmental monitoring, and prevention guidance with every booking. This ensures we don’t just destroy the bed bugs today, but help protect your property for the future.
IPM explained
IPM is a professional pest control framework that combines multiple control methods to solve infestations effectively and sustainably. Unlike budget providers who rely on a single method (like spray or heat alone), we use a multi-layered defence system.
For bed bugs, this means:
Bed bugs are highly adaptive insects that hide in structural voids, furniture joints, and wall cavities.
While heat is the most effective tool we have, a “heat-only” approach can sometimes fail if the bugs are driven deep into cold spots (thermal refuges) before the temperature rises. By combining heat with Mechanical Removal and Residual Prevention, we close off those escape routes so the heat can reach them.

Step by step
We don’t just “turn up and turn on heaters.” We follow a strict clinical protocol.
We assess the infestation spread, high-risk rooms, and migration paths to ensure the scope is correct. This prevents “under-treating” the property.
We use HEPA-grade extraction equipment to physically remove live bugs, cast skins, and debris. This reduces the active population before the heat is even applied.
High-temperature dry steam is injected into mattress seams, bed frames, cracks, and skirting edges, critical harbourage areas that are difficult to heat evenly.
We utilise industrial diesel heaters to raise the property to a lethal temperature. This sustained heat penetrates deep into wall cavities and furnishings.
Where appropriate, we apply Diatomaceous Earth (DE) into voids and low-level professional products in specific harbourage areas.
We provide clear instructions on preventing re-introduction—crucial for travellers and those living in flats.
