Bed bugs are expert hitchhikers — they travel on luggage, clothing, and second-hand furniture. They hide in mattress seams, bed frames, skirting boards, and wall crevices, feeding on human blood at night. A sighting almost always means a wider infestation. Without professional treatment, they're extremely difficult to eradicate.
We heat the infested area to 49–60°C using electric heaters, killing bugs and eggs at all life stages — without chemicals. Heat is applied to the entire room or structure, including cracks, crevices, and furniture. Preferred for heavy infestations, hotels, and environments where chemicals are not suitable.
Targeted steam treatment applied alongside a wider plan. Kills bugs and eggs at all life stages without chemicals. Ideal for sensitive areas with minimal disruption required.

Heat treatment applied correctly across the full affected area is highly effective as a single treatment. We may need to visit a second time for Chemical treatment to account for newly hatched eggs and ensure the problem is resolved.
Heat treatment raises the temperature of the affected room to a level lethal to bed bugs at every life stage, eggs included. Unlike chemical treatment, heat gets inside mattresses, upholstered furniture, and other tight spaces that insecticide can't always reach. There's no chemical residue, and the room can usually be used again the same day.
It's very difficult. Bed bugs hide in narrow crevices and are resistant to most consumer products. They also spread to other parts of the property when disturbed, which means incomplete treatment often just makes things harder. Heat treatment is the most reliable option, because it eliminates bed bugs at every life stage, including eggs, and can clear an infestation in a single visit. The specific temperature of heat treatment is at least 50 degrees, normally for several hours, so it is impossible to do with central heating.
Bed bugs travel with people. Most commonly they're brought in via luggage after a stay in infested accommodation, or through second-hand furniture and mattresses. They can also spread from a neighbouring property through gaps in walls and floors. They go wherever there's a host, even if a property has high hygeine and cleanliness standards.
The most common early signs are bites appearing overnight, often in lines or clusters on exposed skin, combined with dark spotting or reddish-brown staining along mattress seams. Tiny pale shed skins in the folds of the mattress are another indicator. With a torch, check along the piping and seams carefully. The bugs themselves are reddish-brown, flat, and roughly the size of an apple seed.
