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, headboards and sofa joints, and watch the readings live so no room is left short.
A typical Ashford job might be a two-bedroom flat in a newer block near the town centre, with fitted wardrobes and built-in storage where bed bugs can hide. We plan the heat room by room, check how far the infestation has reached and advise whether neighbouring flats should be inspected too. Before the day, we send clear preparation advice so you know how to get the property ready.
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
Ashford has grown quickly in recent decades, and a lot of its housing is new. Estates around Kingsnorth, Singleton and the south of the town sit alongside older terraces and semi-detached homes in Willesborough, Kennington and other established areas. Bed bugs do not care whether a home is new or old: they arrive in luggage, bags and second-hand furniture, and new-build flats with shared corridors and fitted wardrobes can hide them just as well as an older house.
The town is also a busy transport hub. Ashford International station links it to London by high-speed rail, so many residents commute every day, and hotels close to the M20 take a steady flow of business guests and travellers heading to and from the Channel crossings. Anywhere with frequent guest turnover benefits from regular checks of beds, headboards and luggage racks.
Many Ashford households rent, from flats in the town centre to shared houses, so tenants and landlords should act early if they notice bites, blood spots on bedding or dark marks on mattress seams. Early treatment is less disruptive than dealing with a well-established infestation.

Pricing
Whole-property bed bug heat treatment in Ashford 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 on one of the newer estates around Kingsnorth takes more equipment and time than a one-bedroom flat in the town centre, and a shared house with several let rooms needs more planning than a single household. Parking and access for flats in central Ashford can also affect how we set up on the day.
We confirm the price after a survey or a detailed conversation about the property, so homeowners, tenants and landlords 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
I don’t normally write reviews, but I felt I had to for ThermoPest because of how stressful our situation was. We started noticing bites a few weeks ago in our London flat and after some late night Googling I realised it was most likely bed bugs. At first, I tried sprays and washing everything, but nothing worked. It was honestly overwhelming – especially with kids in the house so I reached out to ThermoPest for help.
From the first call, they were professional and reassuring. They explained their bed bug heat treatment in London and how it kills all life stages (eggs, larvae, and adults) in one visit. The technicians turned up on time, were polite, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. They carefully moved furniture, set up their heaters, and kept me informed throughout the process.
The difference has been night and day. After the treatment, we’ve had zero bites and could finally sleep again without worrying. I really liked that it was a chemical free method too safe for kids and pets, which was a big deal for us.

I rarely leave reviews, but the service I got from ThermoPest was brillaint. My flat in Notting Hill had a stubborn bed bug issue that two previous companies failed to get rid of. ThermoPest were different – super thorough, really respectful of the property, and most importantly, the bed bugs are GONE.

Council pest control services vary, and many councils charge for bed bug treatment or no longer offer it. Check with Ashford Borough Council for its current position. If you need a private treatment, we can help, and our guide to council vs private bed bug treatment explains the differences.
It depends on your tenancy and when the bed bugs appeared. Landlords are often responsible for an infestation that was there before you moved in or that spreads between flats, so report signs to your landlord or letting agent in writing as soon as you spot them. Our guide Landlord Won’t Treat Bed Bugs? Your Rights as a UK Tenant sets out the next steps.
