Contact usAbout bed bug treatment
Bed bug treatment is a pest control service that many of our clients ask for. Sadly, bed bugs are a common problem in many homes, and sometimes people don’t even know they have them.
Bed bugs are small, oval-shaped bugs that feed on the blood of animals or people. They often go unnoticed, but their bites can cause problems like allergic reactions, skin rashes, and sometimes even mental health issues.
What do bed bugs look like?
Bed bugs are small bugs, about 5 to 9 millimeters long, and have an oval shape. They are usually brown and can look like wood ticks. After they feed on blood, their colour changes to a reddish shade and their bodies look longer.
Bed bugs don’t have wings, but they can move very fast by crawling on walls, floors, and ceilings. This makes them hard to catch.
What do bed bug bites look like?
Bed bug bites often appear in a line or cluster and are usually red and itchy. Because of how they look, they can easily be mistaken for an allergic reaction or a regular insect bite.
If you notice these types of bites, it could be a sign that you have a bed bug infestation in your home.
Signs of bed bugs
Signs that you might have bed bugs include:
- Red, itchy bed bug bites
- Small blood stains on your sheets
- Tiny brown spots on your bedding or furniture (bed bug droppings)
If you see any of these signs, you probably need a bed bug treatment to get rid of the problem.
What causes bed bugs?
Bed bugs are most often brought into the home through travel. People usually pick them up without knowing, as the bugs can attach to personal items like suitcases or even to clothing.
Another common cause is second-hand furniture. If the furniture came from a place with a bed bug problem, it could bring them into your home. Many people don’t check for bed bugs when buying used furniture, but we always recommend checking carefully before bringing it inside.
How do I get rid of bed bugs permanently
Getting help from a professional is the best way to fully get rid of bed bugs. However, there are some things you can do to help, such as:
- Wash all bed sheets and clothes on a hot setting
- Vacuum carpets, furniture, and bedding thoroughly, then throw away the vacuum bag or empty the cleaner right away

Bed Bug Heat Treatment
Bed bugs are one of the most persistent pests, hiding in mattresses, furniture, cracks, and even behind walls. Chemical treatments often struggle to reach these areas, which is why heat treatment is the most effective method for complete eradication.
How it works
Our heat treatment raises the temperature of the affected rooms to a level that is lethal to bed bugs at every stage of life — eggs, nymphs, and adults. Using specialist heaters and monitoring equipment, we ensure the correct temperature is maintained long enough to kill the entire infestation.
Why heat treatment?
- 100% chemical-free – safe for people, pets, and the environment
- Kills all life stages – including hidden eggs that sprays miss
- Fast results – usually resolved in a single treatment
- Deep penetration – reaches cracks, crevices, and furniture
- No resistance risk – No resistance risk

Bed Bug Treatment Methods
Chemical spraying treatment
Our professional-grade insecticides are applied to affected areas to kill adult bed bugs and nymphs.
What to expect: The first visit is intended to reduce bed bug activity. A follow-up is often needed, especially where infestations are established or rooms were not fully prepared. We do not offer a percentage guarantee.
Preparation requirements include: Washing and heat-drying all bedding, clothing, and fabrics; moving furniture to allow full access to walls, beds, and skirting boards; and decluttering areas so treatment can reach hiding places.
Aftercare: Follow the technician’s advice on when to remake beds, vacuum, and whether a follow-up visit should be booked. Preparation and aftercare both affect how well the first visit works.
Frequently Asked Questions
How effective is the first bed bug visit?
The first visit is intended to reduce activity. How much it reduces depends on how widespread the infestation is and how well the rooms are prepared. We do not quote a percentage guarantee.
Will I need a follow-up treatment?
A follow-up visit is often needed. Bed bugs hide in seams, furniture, and voids, so eggs or remaining insects can appear after the first treatment. We will advise on timing after the survey.
How should I prepare for treatment?
Wash and heat-dry bedding, clothing, and fabrics; move furniture so we can reach walls, beds, and skirting boards; and declutter so treatment can reach the affected areas.
