Reviews
Words don’t do justice to how happy I am with the service it was so fast and professional, and kept me informed of the whole process and very reasonable price.

Madalina Stefania
An absolute nightmare getting bed bugs in one of our rental properties but Jamie and team managed to sort them out in ONE VISIT. Sooo impressed!! Worth every penny. Thanks so so much.
Carrie Harcombe
My partner and young child had been getting bites for weeks and we finally found some live bedbugs in our bedroom and after researching different options we had decided that heat treatment would be the best option. We had more than a lot of questions but Gavin was helpful and patient with us which we really appreciated as we felt like we were going mad at times due to these little buggers.
Since the treatment we have not had a single bite and our finally remembering what a normal nights sleep feels like again so THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!

Essex has above-average bed bug risk due to its proximity to London and high volume of commuter residents who regularly travel through central London — the highest bed bug infestation area in the UK. Southend-on-Sea's coastal tourism market, university towns like Colchester and Chelmsford's large rental sector all contribute to infestations across the county.

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. Essex has a large rental market and commuter belt properties — landlord and tenant questions are very common in this area. We provide full treatment documentation for both parties. Call us for impartial advice on your specific situation.
Yes — Essex has one of the highest proportions of London commuters of any county in the UK. London has the highest bed bug infestation rate in the country, and frequent travel on the London Underground and in central London hotels and offices increases exposure risk for Essex residents. If you've returned from regular London travel and developed bites, a professional inspection is advisable.
