Heat Treatment for Bed Bugs and Insects

Bed bugs and other insects are resistant to many chemicals, meaning heat treatments are often a far more effective method of eradication. Chemical treatments can take several weeks, potentially months, to work and may require multiple visits. Heat treatments, however, kill bugs at every stage of their life cycle - adults, nymphs, and eggs - and JG Pest Control guarantees same-day eradication with this method.

Kills all stages of infestation - guaranteed.

When Heat Treatment is Recommended

Confirmed Bed BugsHeat treatment is the gold standard for bed bug elimination - all life stages destroyed in a single visit
Chemical ResistanceSome insect populations have developed resistance to chemicals. Heat is always effective regardless
Moth and Carpet BeetleHeat treatment is also highly effective against textile pests like moths, carpet beetles, and woodworm
Cockroach InfestationCockroaches are among the toughest pests but cannot survive heat treatment temperatures
Flea InfestationFleas at all life stages including dormant pupae are destroyed by heat treatment
Sensitive EnvironmentsHeat treatment uses no chemicals, making it ideal for households with allergies or sensitivities

How Does Heat Treatment Work?

Modern heat treatments are far more discreet than older methods. Properties are heated from within, meaning there is no need to run pipes into a home - making the process invisible to neighbours.

The whole process usually takes between six and eight hours for properties with three to five bedrooms. Thanks to our leading specialist heat treatment team and the best equipment in the industry, we provide the quickest, most discreet, and least disruptive heat treatments available.

JG Pest Control has been delivering heat treatments for 15+ years. Our BPCA Level 2 Certified Techs are trained in thermal remediation and use calibrated temperature sensors to ensure every part of the treatment zone reaches the lethal threshold.

Benefits of Heat Treatment

Rapid eradication: Heat treatment is the quickest and most effective method of eradicating an infestation. It is most commonly used against bed bugs, moths, and cockroaches, but is also very effective against fleas, beetles, and wood-boring insects such as woodworm.

Kills all life stages: Once the kill temperature is reached, all life stages are destroyed, including eggs, larval stage, and pupa. Eggs are not affected by any chemicals used in pest control, which is why heat treatment is a superior method.

Safe: Heat treatments reduce the risk of chemical reactions as far less, if any, chemicals are used in the treatment.

Versatile: Heat can be used on most items including delicate fabrics, clothes, bedding, furniture, walls, ceilings, floors, and electronics.

Our Heat Treatment Process

Our step-by-step process ensures complete coverage and guaranteed results:

1. Rooms are arranged to allow maximum airflow to potential cold-spots and target activity areas.

2. A light chemical and non-toxic powder treatment is applied to the perimeter and floor area of the treatment zone (optional).

3. Temperature sensors are distributed around the treatment zone for accurate monitoring.

4. Heaters are vented into the treatment zone until the kill temperature is reached.

5. This temperature is maintained for the required length of time to ensure total eradication.

6. The area is checked for signs of activity after treatment.

7. Heaters are moved to other rooms or packed away if treatment is complete.
