Local bed bug specialists
ThermoPest provides specialist bed bug heat treatment in Newcastle for homeowners, tenants, landlords, letting agents and student-accommodation providers, with local coverage including Jesmond, Heaton and Fenham. We treat bed bugs in homes, flats, shared houses, HMOs and managed accommodation, adapting the treatment plan to the property layout and the areas where activity has been found. Newcastle University identifies Jesmond and Heaton as major student-housing areas, while Fenham adds shared rentals, flats and family homes to the local mix.
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
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. Heat travels into mattress seams, bed bases, sofas, skirting boards and the joints of furniture, so adults, nymphs and eggs are all dealt with in the same treatment.
A Tyneside flat in Heaton or Fenham is a good example. Bed bugs can sit in the floorboards and skirting where the upper and lower flats meet, so we place temperature probes along those edges as well as around the bed, and we may advise checking the flat above or below. Most treatments are completed within a day, and you can usually move back in after about 2 hours, unless your technician advises otherwise.
We give you clear preparation steps before the day and aftercare advice afterwards. Qualifying treatments carry our 12-week guarantee. See how our heat treatment works

Local insight
Newcastle’s housing has its own character. Tyneside flats, where a pair of upper and lower homes sits within what looks like a single terraced house, are common in Heaton, Jesmond, Sandyford and Fenham, and the shared floor between them means a problem upstairs can soon affect the flat below. Across the river in Gateshead and out towards the coast there are older terraces, former council homes and newer apartment blocks along the Quayside, each with its own layout and access to plan around.
Newcastle University and Northumbria University sit close to the city centre, and many students live in shared houses and Tyneside flats in Jesmond and Heaton, moving in and out each summer. The city is also a popular weekend destination, with hotels, apartments and short lets around the Quayside and Grainger Town kept busy by visitors, football supporters and concert-goers. Bed bugs usually arrive in luggage or second-hand furniture, not because a home is dirty.
If you spot bites, small dark spots on mattress seams or shed skins, ask for an inspection early, and if you live in a Tyneside flat, let your neighbour or landlord know.

Pricing
Whole-property bed bug heat treatment in Newcastle starts from £895. Your price depends on the size and layout of the home, the spread of the infestation and the preparation needed. A compact Tyneside flat is usually quicker to treat than a large Jesmond student house with five or six bedrooms, and where both the upper and lower flats are affected we price the work for each.
Access also plays a part. City-centre flats near the Quayside can mean restricted parking, while homes further out in Northumberland or County Durham involve more travel. We set out the cost clearly before we start, and qualifying treatments include our 12-week guarantee. See our bed bug treatment prices for what is included.
Reviews
Haven’t been bitten since the treatment, after suffering for nearly six months. Massive thank you to the team.
Will Grice
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’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.

Gavin from ThermoPest sorted our flat after we brought bed bugs home from a trip. He was friendly, explained the process, and the heat treatment worked.

Council pest control services vary and can change, so check the Newcastle City Council website, or Gateshead Council if you live south of the river, for what is currently offered. Our guide to council vs private bed bug treatment explains the differences.
Often both need checking. Upper and lower Tyneside flats share a floor and ceiling, so bed bugs can move between them. We advise on inspecting the neighbouring flat and can treat both where activity is found. Read more about bed bugs and neighbours.
It depends on the tenancy and how the bed bugs arrived. Landlords are often responsible where the problem was there before tenants moved in, while tenants may be asked to pay if they brought bed bugs in. See our guide on what to do if your landlord won’t treat bed bugs.
