Question 1

What is the most effective bed bug treatment?

Accepted Answer

Combined heat and chemical spray treatment is the most effective option. Heat raises the room to 56-60°C, which kills eggs, nymphs and adults in a single visit, and the residual spray protects against anything that survives or returns. Spray alone does not kill eggs, so it needs a second visit.

Question 2

How long does bed bug treatment take?

Accepted Answer

A single-room heat treatment takes 6-8 hours including setup and cool-down. Spray treatment takes 1-2 hours per room but needs a follow-up visit. Whole-property jobs are quoted individually after inspection.

Question 3

Does heat treatment kill bed bug eggs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sustained temperatures above 56°C destroy bed bugs at every life stage, including eggs, which is the main reason heat succeeds where repeated sprays fail.

Question 4

Do I need to leave the property during treatment?

Accepted Answer

For heat treatment, yes — all people and pets must be out for the heat cycle and can return around two hours after we finish. For spray treatment we give you a written re-entry time, usually a few hours.

Question 5

Will DIY sprays or foggers work?

Accepted Answer

Rarely. Retail foggers usually scatter bed bugs into adjoining rooms and wall voids instead of killing them, which makes professional treatment harder and more expensive. Stop treating and call for an inspection instead.

Question 6

How much does bed bug treatment cost?

Accepted Answer

Combined heat and chemical spray treatment starts from £800 for one room, £1,000-£1,200 for two rooms, £1,200-£1,400 for three rooms and £1,400-£1,600 for four rooms. Larger properties are quoted separately after a free inspection.

Question 7

Is the inspection free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Inspection and your written quote are free and carry no obligation. The price we quote is the price you pay.

Question 8

Do you guarantee your bed bug treatment?

Accepted Answer

Our combined heat and chemical spray treatment carries a 3-month guarantee: if bed bugs return within three months we re-treat at no additional cost. Spray treatment on its own is not guaranteed.

Question 9

Do you offer payment on completion?

Accepted Answer

Payment is taken once treatment is carried out. Talk to us on the call about what works for your situation and we will be straight with you about it.

Question 10

How do I prepare for bed bug treatment?

Accepted Answer

Launder bedding at 60°C and bag it, reduce clutter around the bed, pull furniture clear of the walls and remove aerosols, candles and heat-sensitive items if you are having heat treatment. We send a written checklist when you book.

Question 11

Should I throw away my mattress?

Accepted Answer

Usually not. Heat penetrates mattresses, bed frames and upholstery, so most furniture is saved. We tell you plainly if an item is too badly damaged to be worth treating.

Question 12

Should I stop sleeping in the affected room?

Accepted Answer

No. Moving to another room or the sofa draws bed bugs with you and spreads the infestation. Keep sleeping where you are until treatment is done.

Question 13

How do I know if I actually have bed bugs?

Accepted Answer

Look for bites in lines or clusters, small blood spots on sheets, dark specks along mattress seams and a sweet musty odour in bad cases. If you are unsure, book an inspection rather than treating blind.

Question 14

Do you provide documentation for landlords?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide a written treatment record you can give to tenants, letting agents or your insurer, covering what was found, what was treated and the guarantee period.

Question 15

Can you treat a hotel without disrupting guests?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work around your occupancy, including out-of-hours arrival, and treat affected rooms plus the adjoining rooms bed bugs are likely to have reached along the corridor.

Question 16

Will neighbours or guests know you are treating the property?

Accepted Answer

No. We arrive in unmarked vehicles and our technicians wear plain clothing, with no signage outside your door.

Question 17

Who pays for bed bug treatment in a rented property?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your tenancy agreement and how the infestation started, so we do not give legal advice on it. What we can give you is a written record of the infestation and treatment, which is what most disputes turn on.

Question 18

Which areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

We are based in Leicester (LE2) and cover Leicestershire, Birmingham, Nottingham, Derby, Sheffield, Coventry, Northampton, Peterborough, Lichfield, Tamworth and the surrounding towns. Call 0116 319 1796 and we will confirm your postcode in under a minute.

Question 19

How quickly can you attend?

Accepted Answer

Most treatments are booked within 2-5 working days, and same-day or next-day emergency attendance is often possible depending on our diary.

Question 20

What are your opening hours?

Accepted Answer

We are open daily from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, including weekends.
