Local bed bug specialists
ThermoPest provides specialist bed bug heat treatment in West Sussex for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, hotels and accommodation providers, with local coverage including Crawley, Worthing and Chichester. We treat bed bugs in homes, flats, rented properties, hotels and visitor accommodation, adapting the treatment plan to the property layout and the areas where activity has been found. West Sussex combines commuter and rental properties around Crawley with coastal homes and visitor accommodation around Worthing and Chichester.
Bed bugs are our specialist area rather than one of many general pest-control services. ThermoPest is a BPCA- and NPTA-member company, and our technicians use professional heat equipment with live temperature monitoring to target adults, nymphs and eggs. Our heat-led treatment plans include tailored aftercare and further treatment where required. Qualifying whole-property treatments carry a 12-week treatment guarantee, subject to the terms.

How it works
From a Crawley rental to a period house in Horsham, our treatment across West Sussex is led by heat. Bed bugs and their eggs die when held above about 50°C for long enough. We heat rooms to 50–60°C and hold that heat until the hardest-to-reach spots stay above 50°C.
Take a Worthing seafront flat in a converted Victorian building: bed bugs can hide in bed frames, skirting boards and the gaps around old window frames. We put sensors in those spots and keep the heat on until every reading stays above 50°C. Hotel rooms near Gatwick and guest houses in Bognor Regis are planned around rooms and bookings.
Most treatments are completed within a day, and you can usually move back in after about 2 hours, unless your technician advises otherwise. Qualifying treatments carry our 12-week guarantee. See how our heat treatment works

Local insight
The West Sussex coast runs from Shoreham-by-Sea through Worthing, Littlehampton and Bognor Regis to Selsey and the Witterings. Many seafront streets are lined with older houses converted into flats, alongside retirement flats, guest houses and holiday lets. In converted buildings, bed bugs can move between homes through floor voids and shared walls, and holiday accommodation sees a steady change of guests and luggage through the summer.
Chichester is a cathedral city with Georgian streets, a well-known theatre and the Goodwood events nearby, all of which bring visitors and short-stay bookings. The University of Chichester has campuses in Chichester and Bognor Regis, and student houses in both towns change tenants every year.
Inland, Horsham, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and East Grinstead are busy commuter towns on the lines to London and Brighton, while villages across the Downs and the Weald have period cottages that need careful heating. If you spot bites, blood spots on sheets or dark marks along mattress seams, act early.

Pricing
Whole-property bed bug heat treatment in West Sussex starts from £895. Your quote depends on the size and layout of the property and how far the bed bugs have spread, so a Crawley flat, a family house in Horsham and a Chichester shared house with several let rooms are each priced on what we find.
Access matters too: flats above shops in Worthing or Bognor Regis, upper floors without a lift and limited parking in central Chichester take more planning, and rural villages can add travel time. Qualifying treatments carry our 12-week guarantee. See our bed bug treatment prices for more.
Reviews
After trying sprays that didn’t work, I called ThermoPest for a bed bug removal in London. The heat treatment did the job.
Ekene Okonkwo
I ended up not booking a treatment because Gavin honestly advised that I didn’t have a bed bug problem, even though other companies had insisted I did. He was transparent, generous with his time, and helped me avoid spending thousands on unnecessary treatments.
Really appreciate the honesty — a rare find in this industry! I have given a 5 star review based on that experience with ThermoPest Bed Bug Treatment London.
William Woodhead
Needed a bed bug treatment in London for a flat we rent out. The process went smoothly and overall was impressed with how it was handled.
Yoel Kidanemariam
I rarely leave reviews, but the service I got from ThermoPest was brillaint. My flat in Notting Hill had a stubborn bed bug issue that two previous companies failed to get rid of. ThermoPest were different – super thorough, really respectful of the property, and most importantly, the bed bugs are GONE.

Pest control in West Sussex is handled by the district and borough councils, such as Adur and Worthing Councils, Arun District Council, Chichester District Council and Horsham District Council. Services vary and can change, so check your own council’s website. Our guide to council vs private bed bug treatment explains the differences.
It depends on your tenancy and when the bed bugs appeared. Landlords are often responsible for an infestation that was there before you moved in or that spreads between flats, so tell your landlord or letting agent in writing as soon as you see signs. Read our guide on what to do if your landlord won’t treat bed bugs for what to do next.
