CONTROL SEQUENCE
A clear three-phase response.
Follow the supplied checklist, remove heat-sensitive items and open access for airflow.
Specialist heaters and air movers raise and maintain temperatures while multiple points are monitored.
Allow controlled cooling, reinstate the room as directed and monitor for possible reintroduction.
THE SERVICE, EXPLAINED
What the visit needs to establish.
When heat treatment may be suitable
Whole-room heat is considered after bed bug evidence and the affected area have been assessed.
Controlled heat can reach common harbourage within beds, furniture and accessible room structures when temperature and airflow are maintained correctly. It is not selected solely because bites have been reported.
The inspection maps confirmed evidence, room spread, furnishings and possible movement to adjoining areas. Alternative or combined methods may be more appropriate where heat cannot be distributed safely.
- Confirmed bed bugs across several furnished areas
- Harbourage within beds, furniture joints and room edges
- A room that can be prepared, isolated and monitored safely
Room suitability and heat risks
Power, airflow, insulation and belongings determine whether the treatment can be carried out.
The technician assesses room volume, construction, ventilation and access for heaters and air movers. Cold spots, dense storage and adjoining untreated areas can affect the treatment plan.
Aerosols, candles, medicines, plants, pressurised containers and other heat-sensitive items may need removal or protection. Valuable electronics, instruments and specialist materials must be declared before preparation.
Preparation before heating
Correct preparation allows air to circulate while preventing bed bugs from being moved elsewhere.
Follow the supplied checklist exactly rather than taking loose belongings into another room. Furniture positions, drawers, bedding and bagged items should be handled according to the agreed plan.
Occupants and pets cannot remain in the treatment zone. Access, keys, alarms, parking and building permissions should be coordinated in advance so the heating cycle is not interrupted.
Monitored heat and controlled cooling
Professional equipment raises the room temperature while multiple measuring points confirm distribution.
Air movers circulate heat through the prepared space and technicians monitor representative locations, including slower-heating zones. The target profile and duration depend on the system and room conditions.
Heat must not be improvised with domestic heaters. Fire risk, uneven temperatures and unmonitored cold spots make uncontrolled heating unsafe and unreliable. Re-entry follows the technician’s cooling instructions.
Aftercare and reintroduction risk
Heat addresses pests present in the treated zone but cannot prevent a new introduction.
Inspect luggage, second-hand furniture and items returning from untreated areas. Keep monitoring in place if advised and report physical evidence rather than judging success from skin reactions alone.
Connected flats, repeated travel exposure or excluded belongings may require additional planning. The completion record should identify the treated scope, limitations and any recommended follow-up.

DIRECT ANSWERS
Before you book.
How does heat treatment work?+
Controlled heat is circulated through the room so it penetrates common bed bug hiding materials and affects multiple life stages.
How long does it take?+
The live service information gives a typical session of about six to eight hours, although layout and scale can change this.
Must the property be empty?+
The treated area cannot be occupied during the heating process; follow the technician's instructions on leaving and re-entry.
Do belongings need preparation?+
Yes. Candles, aerosols, plants, some electronics and other heat-sensitive items may need removal or protection.
