Local bed bug specialists
ThermoPest provides bed bug treatment in Exeter for homeowners, tenants, landlords and businesses, from the terraces of St James, Heavitree and St Thomas to Pinhoe, Topsham and the newer homes on the edge of the city. We are based in London and travel out to treat in Exeter, so there is no local office, just the same specialist team and equipment we use on every job.
Bed bugs are our specialist area, not one of a long list of pests. Our bed bug heat treatment uses professional heaters with live temperature monitoring to reach adults, nymphs and eggs in mattresses, furniture and skirting. 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 hide, such as mattress seams, bed frames, skirting boards and sofa joints, and watch the readings live so no room falls short.
A typical Exeter job might be a Victorian terrace in St James let to five students, with bedrooms on every floor and a shared kitchen and lounge. We arrange the heaters and fans so heat reaches every bedroom at once, including under beds, behind wardrobes and into sofa joints, and we give the tenants 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
Exeter is a compact city with a large student population. Around the University of Exeter, streets in St James, Pennsylvania and Newtown are full of terraced houses let to students and young professionals, and Heavitree and St Thomas have similar older terraces, many split into flats. Further out, Pinhoe, Alphington and the newer estates on the eastern edge of the city are mainly family homes.
Bed bugs usually arrive in luggage, second-hand furniture or on visitors, not because a home is dirty. In Exeter, student moves at the start and end of each term, furniture passed between shared houses, and visitors staying in city-centre hotels and short lets are common ways for them to spread.
If you notice bites, small blood spots on bedding or dark marks along mattress seams, act early. A small infestation is quicker and less disruptive to treat than one that has spread through a house or block.

Pricing
Whole-property bed bug heat treatment in Exeter 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 one-bedroom flat in the city centre is a different job from a five-bedroom student house in St James or a family home in Pinhoe, and a block of rented flats with several affected rooms needs more equipment and time.
Because we travel out from London, we plan Exeter jobs carefully and 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
I would really recommend ThermoPest Bed Bug Treatments London and Gavin. Our issue was resolved really efficiently, and they were very communicative. They made my parents feel so comfortable, and really explained the entire process to us.
Charli Maxted
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
I can’t thank ThermoPest enough for their incredible bed bug removal service. We had been dealing with bed bugs for weeks, and the stress was unbearable. Every night felt like a battle, and my family was losing sleep. Gavin and his team were a breath of fresh air. They explained the process thoroughly, and the heat treatment was completed within a day. It’s been weeks now, and we haven’t seen a single bed bug.
Sophie Knights
We ended up needing bed bug heat treatment in London after bringing some home from a hotel stay. Luckily we spotted it pretty quick, so it wasn’t a full on infestation. The guys came round, checked it out and said it only needed a spray which sorted it fast.
They were friendly, explained what they were doing and didn’t make a big drama out of it. Glad we called them when we did, saved us from a much bigger problem. Thanks

Council pest control services and charges change from time to time, so check Exeter City Council’s website for its current offer. Many councils now offer a limited bed bug service or none at all. A private specialist can heat-treat the whole property, and our guide to council vs private bed bug treatment explains the differences.
Tell your landlord, letting agent or accommodation office straight away, and send photos of what you have found. Do not move your bedding or belongings into a housemate’s room, and do not throw out your mattress before it has been checked. We work with student landlords and agents, and can treat all the affected rooms at the same time.
Yes. We treat hotel rooms, guest houses and short-let flats in Exeter and the surrounding area. We arrive in discreet unmarked vans and plan the work around your bookings, treating affected rooms and checking the rooms next to them. See our guide to hotel pest control rules and choosing a provider.
Most treatments are completed within a day, and you can usually move back in after about 2 hours, unless your technician advises otherwise. Larger houses, shared houses and flats where neighbouring units also need checking can take longer, and some cases need a return visit. Read more in How Long Does Professional Bed Bug Treatment Take?
