Professional Bed Bug Treatment – Starting at £200 + VAT

Bed bugs rank among the most persistent and troubling pests to manage. Infestations can occur at any time of the year, especially in bedrooms, hotels, hostels, and locations with high human traffic. They spread easily by traveling on luggage, clothing, second-hand furniture, and bedding. Once they infiltrate a space, they hide in cracks and crevices, emerging at night to feed on human blood. Resilient by nature, bed bugs can remain inactive for months, making professional intervention essential for eradication.

Where do bed bugs hide?

Bed bugs are elusive and can be located in:

Bed frames, mattresses, headboards, and divan bases
Sofas, chairs, and curtains
Behind wallpaper and skirting boards
Inside plug sockets, smoke detectors, and electrical appliances
Within shoes, toys, clothing, and stored bedding

Identifying a Bed Bug Infestation

Bites – typically found on the torso, arms, or legs, sometimes appearing in clusters or lines

Minuscule blood stains on sheets and pillowcases
Black fecal spots (sticky residues) in mattress seams, corners, and upholstered furniture

Preparation for Treatment

To enhance treatment efficacy, follow these steps:

Wash bedding, clothes, and fabrics at 60°C + hot dry cycle
Vacuum mattresses, carpets, curtains, and furniture cracks
Remove headboards and clean bed frames thoroughly
Empty wardrobes and drawers – only reintroduce clothes post-washing
Freeze items that cannot be washed (overnight)
Remove clutter and store in unused rooms
Dispose of vacuum bags in outdoor bins immediately

Aftercare

Continue sleeping in the treated room (encourages bed bugs to traverse treated surfaces)
Avoid vacuuming, washing, or wiping treated areas for at least 2 months
Wash or freeze items before reintroducing them to the room
Refrain from purchasing or introducing new mattresses or furniture until 1 month post-final treatment
Some bed bug activity may persist for several weeks – this is typical as eggs hatch and treatment takes effect

FAQs About Bed Bug Treatments

How long does it take to eradicate bed bugs?

Complete eradication can take 2–6 weeks depending on infestation severity and treatment method. Heat is the quickest solution.

Is it necessary to discard my mattress or furniture?

No – most treatments aim to preserve mattresses and furniture. Only severely damaged or unsafe items may need replacement.

Will I observe bed bugs post-treatment?

Yes, some activity may persist for a few weeks as eggs hatch. This is normal. Treatment remains effective for up to 2 months.

Are treatments safe for children and pets?

Yes. Our insecticides are for professional use, biodegradable, and nearly odourless. Pets and children should avoid treated areas until dry.

Can I self-treat bed bugs?

Over-the-counter sprays may kill visible bugs but won’t eliminate eggs or concealed colonies. Professional heat and spray treatments ensure eradication.
