Local bed bug specialists
ThermoPest provides bed bug treatment in Derby for homeowners, tenants, landlords and letting agents. We are based in London and travel out to treat properties across the city, from the Victorian terraces of Normanton to family homes in Littleover, Mickleover and Allestree. We do not have a local Derby office; our technicians come to you with all the equipment the job needs.
Bed bugs are our specialist area rather than one of many pest services. We use professional bed bug heat treatment with live temperature monitoring to reach adults, nymphs and eggs, and we give clear preparation and aftercare advice before and after every visit. ThermoPest is a BPCA and NPTA member, and qualifying treatments carry a 12-week guarantee.

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 where bed bugs like to hide, such as mattress seams, bed frames, skirting boards and sofa joints, and watch the readings live so no area is left short.
A typical Derby job might be a Victorian terrace in Normanton that has been split into a shared house, with bedrooms on two floors and a back room downstairs. We plan the heat room by room so every bedroom reaches the same temperature, and we give tenants and landlords clear preparation advice beforehand.
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
Much of inner Derby is Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, particularly in Normanton, Pear Tree and the streets around the Arboretum. Terraces share party walls, and many have been converted into flats or shared houses, so bed bugs can move between rooms and sometimes into the house next door. Further out, Littleover, Mickleover, Allestree and Chaddesden have more semi-detached and post-war family homes, where problems usually start with luggage, second-hand furniture or a visitor’s belongings.
The University of Derby brings a large student population, and student lets and HMOs change tenants every year. When rooms turn over quickly and furniture is passed on, bed bugs can travel with people and their things. Derby is also a busy stop on the Midland Main Line, and people come in for work, football at Pride Park and events in the city centre, so hotels, guest houses and short-term lets see a steady flow of luggage.
If you notice bites, small blood spots on bedding or dark marks along mattress seams, get it checked early. A smaller problem is quicker and less disruptive to treat.

Pricing
Whole-property bed bug heat treatment in Derby 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 student HMO with several let rooms near the university, or a flat above a shop in the city centre, takes more planning and equipment than a two-bedroom semi in Chaddesden or Alvaston, and parking on narrow terraced streets can affect how we set up on the day.
Because we travel out from London, we confirm the price after a detailed conversation about the property or a survey, so you know what is included before we book. Qualifying treatments carry our 12-week guarantee. See our bed bug treatment prices for what is included and the full guarantee terms.
Reviews
Thermopest were quick to respond and recommended their bed bug heat treatment, we were able to book in a treatment for the following day which was great.
Nathan Webb
I contacted ThermoPest after reading about their heat treatment method and I’m so glad I did. Gavin explained the whole process and we booked in. Since the bed bug treatment it’s been over a month and we’ve had zero signs of bed bugs since.
Rozhn Garboni
After trying sprays that didn’t work, I called ThermoPest for a bed bug removal in London. The heat treatment did the job.
Ekene Okonkwo
I’ve tried to get rid of the bed bugs (after unfortunately bringing them back from Thailand) myself, and I tried two other companies who cane out and sprayed and this was unsuccessful. I contacted these and someone came out the next day to survey my home and the treatment was booked in for a few days time. Safe to say I no longer have bed bugs and they even give you a guarantee. Thanks James and team.

FAQs
Can’t see your question? Call 0808 189 2310 and speak to a specialist.
Council pest control services, charges and waiting times change over time, so check directly with Derby City Council what it currently offers for bed bugs. Many people choose a private specialist for a full heat treatment, clear preparation advice and a guarantee. Our guide on council vs private bed bug treatment explains the differences.
It depends on your tenancy agreement and when the infestation started. In many cases the landlord arranges treatment, especially where bed bugs were there before the tenant moved in. Tell your landlord or letting agent in writing as soon as you spot signs. Our guide on what to do if your landlord won’t treat bed bugs sets out your options.
Yes. We treat student lets, shared houses and HMOs for students, landlords and letting agents. In a shared house we usually need to treat every affected room, and we give each housemate clear preparation advice so the treatment is not undone by belongings moved between rooms. We are based in London and travel out to Derby for these jobs.
Yes. We work with hotels, guest houses and short-term let hosts, and we arrive in discreet unmarked vans so guests and neighbours need not know. Heat treatment lets rooms go back into use without a long wait, and we plan the work around your bookings where we can.
Most treatments are completed within a day. You can usually move back in after about 2 hours, unless your technician advises otherwise. Larger properties, such as a shared house with several bedrooms, can take longer. Read more in how long does professional bed bug treatment take.
Qualifying treatments carry our 12-week guarantee. If you see signs of live bed bugs within that period and the guarantee terms have been followed, we come back. See our pricing and guarantee page for the full terms.
