I had treatment Wednesday after, calling up in a panic Tuesday day. Charlie and Craig were amazing really reassuring, friendly and down to earth, as I worked myself into a right state, I was very scared on edge. I felt very much at ease, thank you so much on the treatment’s you provided, I can’t thank you enough! I can’t comment on the success of the treatment yet because it’s only been day 2. Again thank you, you and your team are hero’s, I couldn’t do your job.

I needed our solar panels bird-proofed. RS Pest Control moved fast, including arranging for the erection and dismantling of scaffolding, and were very friendly and helpful when I spoke to them on the phone. Everything was done within ten days. I am very pleased.

Cam back out as we weren't happy with the service we received plus cost we paid, so appreciated the effort to make things better. Something should be mentioned from the start that all bate gets removed from 3nd visit so customer knows what to expect.

I recently had to contact RS Pest Control and couldn't be more impressed with the service, their professionalism and responsiveness stood out. The technician arrived on time, was courteous, and took the time to expalin the process. They conducted a comprehensive inspection of my property, identifying potential problems areas. The treatment itself was effective and I apprecaited their use of safe products. The treatment has been effective and has provided peace of mind.
The communication from the entire team has been excellent.

I highly recommend RS Pest Control to anyone requiring and effective cost effcient service - customer satisfaction and quality service.

Bed Bug Heat Treatment

Finding bed bugs in your home can be upsetting and stressful. They hide in mattress seams, bed frames, headboards, sofas, behind skirting boards and in tiny cracks, and their eggs are easy to miss. Itchy bites after sleeping are often the first sign.

Acting quickly matters. Bed bugs spread from room to room on bedding, clothes and furniture, so an infestation that’s treated early is usually easier to deal with.

At RS Pest Control, we specialise in heat treatment for bed bugs. We use large heaters outside your property that pump hot air inside. We heat all the bedrooms, and the living room as well unless it’s open plan with the kitchen, bringing them to about 60°C and holding that temperature for at least one hour. This kills bed bugs at all life stages, including eggs.

We normally combine heat treatment with a chemical spray. The spray has a residual effect, so it keeps working after the heat has gone.

To find out whether heat treatment is right for your property, please fill in our form above or get in touch.

How Do You Get Rid of Bed Bugs With Heat? Our 4-Step Process

When you book a bed bug heat treatment with us, we follow the same four steps every time, so your home is properly prepared, treated and looked after.

1. Contact Our Bed Bug Team

Get in touch as soon as you notice signs of bed bugs. We’ll ask what you’ve seen and talk you through your options.

2. Assess And Prepare

We assess the infestation and recommend the right treatment. Before a heat treatment, we’ll send you full preparation instructions. Please read, sign and return them at least 48 hours before your treatment. We take a 50% deposit when you book.

3. Carry Out The Heat Treatment

On the day, everyone in the household, including pets, needs to be out before we start. Our heaters stay outside and pump hot air into the property. We heat all the bedrooms, and the living room as well unless it’s open plan with the kitchen. A treatment can take up to a full day, depending on the property. We heat the rooms to about 60°C, hold it for at least one hour and, in most cases, apply a residual spray.

4. Aftercare And Prevention Advice

Please stay out for at least 4 hours after the treatment finishes, and until our technician confirms it’s safe to go back in. Heat treatment should only take one visit. We’ll give you advice on reducing the risk of bed bugs returning. If we’ve treated your whole house or flat and any activity is spotted within 30 days of the treatment, we’ll come back.

Heat, Chemical And Steam Treatments

Every bed bug problem is different, so our team will recommend the treatment that suits your home or business.

Heat treatment is our main bed bug service. Hot air from our heaters fills the affected rooms and reaches bed bugs at every life stage in one go. We normally combine it with a chemical spray, because the spray has a residual effect that keeps working after the heat has gone. Heat treatment uses fewer chemicals and treats furniture and belongings in the room.

Chemical treatment uses a professional insecticide spray on its own. We only recommend it when heat treatment isn’t physically possible, for example in a flat on a high floor of a block, where our equipment can’t reach. Chemical treatment usually takes 3 to 4 sprays, one week apart, and everyone, including pets, needs to stay out for at least 4 hours after each spray.

Steam treatment is another option when heat treatment isn’t possible. We apply steam directly to the affected areas and normally combine it with a chemical spray.
