Local bed bug specialists

Reading’s university and commuter-rental market includes flats, shared housing and family homes across Whitley, Earley and Caversham.
As bed bug specialists and BPCA and NPTA members, we use professional heat equipment, temperature probes and live monitoring throughout treatment. This allows our technicians to verify treatment temperatures across the property while targeting adult bed bugs, nymphs and eggs. Our heat-led treatment plans include tailored aftercare and further treatment where required. Qualifying whole-property treatments carry a 12-week treatment guarantee, subject to the terms.

How it works
Our bed bug heat treatment process is the same whether you’re in a student HMO in Earley or a serviced apartment near the Oracle — thorough, discreet and completed in a single visit.
Our technicians raise the temperature of your property to between 49°C and 60°C, maintaining that lethal range for a sustained period. This level of heat penetrates deep into mattresses, furniture joints, skirting boards and wall voids — every place bed bugs and their eggs hide.
Unlike chemical treatments which can miss hidden life stages and require multiple visits, heat treatment kills bed bugs and eggs at every life stage. Most homes are treated in a day, you can move back in 2 hours after we finish, and you are covered by our 12-week guarantee.

Local insight
Reading has elevated bed bug risk driven by two key factors — its proximity to London and its large tech and business sector. As one of the UK’s most intensively London-connected commuter towns, residents face regular exposure to the highest bed bug infestation area in the country. Business travel through Reading’s corporate hotel corridor adds further risk.
Reading University’s large student population concentrated in Earley and Whitley, combined with the town’s substantial rental market catering to young professionals, makes HMOs and shared accommodation a frequent source of infestations we treat across the Reading area.
If you’ve noticed bites, blood spots on bedding or small dark marks on your mattress seams, don’t wait. Early treatment is faster, less disruptive and less expensive than dealing with a fully established infestation.
Pricing
Whole-property bed bug heat treatment in Reading starts from £895. Your final quotation depends on the property’s size and layout, the extent of the infestation, access, preparation requirements and any areas requiring additional treatment.
Our treatment combines professional heat equipment with live temperature monitoring to target bed bugs at every life stage, including adults, nymphs and eggs. Where required, we also use targeted residual treatments and monitoring to help reduce the risk of surviving activity. Qualifying whole-property treatments include a 12-week treatment guarantee, subject to terms. See our bed bug treatment pricing for current prices, what is included and full guarantee information.
Reviews
I was mortified when I found bed bugs in my flat after a holiday. ThermoPest came to the rescue with their heat treatment, and I couldn’t believe how thorough they were. The technician, Dave, explained everything and put me at ease. Within a day, my home was bug-free, and it’s been three months with no sign of them.
Balbinder Panesar
Really impressed with ThermoPest. The technicians were polite and professional, and the bed bug extermination in London worked first time.
Stella Ainomugisha
Moved in to a house where there were bedbugs and Jamie came round the next day to have a look. He started the treatment that day and the heat treatment came came out a few days later. They got rid of them and the lovely lady in the office also put up with my constant texts looking for advice and reassurance. Thanks a million will definitely recommend you 100%
Sally Brewster
After moving into a new flat in London, I started getting bites. I called ThermoPest, and they were round in no time. Their heat treatment was a game-changer—no chemicals, just pure heat to zap the pests. The lads were proper friendly and made sure I understood the process. Not a single bite since. Highly recommend!
