Local bed bug specialists
We provide bed bug treatment across Devon, from Exeter and its university neighbourhoods to Torquay, Exmouth and Barnstaple. ThermoPest is based in London and has no local office in Devon, so we travel out to treat homes, rented flats, student lets, holiday lets and guest houses across the county.
Bed bugs are what we specialise in. Our technicians use professional bed bug heat treatment with live temperature monitoring to reach adults, nymphs and eggs hidden in beds, sofas, skirting and furniture. We are a BPCA and NPTA member, we arrive in discreet unmarked vans, and qualifying treatments carry our 12-week guarantee.

How it works
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. Our technicians place temperature probes where bed bugs hide, such as mattress seams, bed frames, headboards, skirting boards and sofa joints, and watch the readings live so every room reaches the target.
A typical Devon job might be an older stone cottage outside Newton Abbot, where thick walls and timber floors can hold cool spots, or a seafront guest house in Paignton with several letting rooms. We plan the heat room by room so the coolest corners reach temperature too, and we give owners and tenants clear preparation advice before we travel out.
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 are covered by our 12-week guarantee. See how our heat treatment works

Local insight
Devon’s housing ranges from Georgian and Victorian terraces in Exeter to stone and thatched cottages in market towns and villages. Exeter is home to the University of Exeter, so the streets near its campuses have many shared houses and student flats, where tenants change every year and beds, furniture and luggage move in and out each autumn.
Tourism shapes much of the county. Torquay and Paignton in Torbay, Exmouth on the East Devon coast and the North Devon coast near Barnstaple all have hotels, guest houses, caravan parks and holiday lets. Bed bugs travel in luggage, so properties with a steady flow of guests can pick them up without anyone noticing at first, and second-hand furniture bought to furnish a let can bring them in too.
Older cottages have gaps in floorboards, beams and stonework where bed bugs can hide. If you notice bites, small blood spots on sheets or dark marks along mattress seams, act early: a small infestation is easier to clear than an established one.

Pricing
Whole-property bed bug heat treatment in Devon starts from £895. The final price depends on the size and layout of the property, how far the infestation has spread and how much preparation is needed. A student house in Exeter with five or six let rooms, a holiday cottage with several bedrooms or a guest house in Torquay takes more equipment and time than a one-bedroom flat. Because we travel out from London, we also plan for the journey and for access on narrow rural lanes or seafront streets with limited parking.
We confirm the price after a detailed conversation about the property, so owners, landlords and tenants know what is included before we start. Qualifying treatments carry our 12-week guarantee. See our bed bug treatment prices for what is included and the full guarantee terms.
Reviews
Unlucky, I found some bed bugs in one of my bed rooms. Luckily, I found James’ contact number, I called him and explained the situation, he gave me very reasonable quotation and guaranteed that he will solve the problem. He came next day giving first treatment and came again after 7 days. After two treatments, the bed bugs were all killed and I never had the same issue again.
I am so pleased with their professional service, and high recommend him to anyone who has the same problem.

ThermoPest handled our bed bug issue in our flat quickly. The London heat treatment service was worth every penny – no more bites and we can finally sleep peacefully again.

Bed bugs are definitely not the kind of present you want to bring back from holiday but unfortunately we did- even after staying in a nice hotel chain! These guys offered a guarantee and a great price so we decided to go with them. It was a great decision as it took only only visit to get rid of the issue. Worth every penny. Plus we have not needed to call them back at all. Thanks to Jamie and team for sorting.

Moved in to a house where there were bedbugs and Jamie came round the next day to have a look. He started the treatment that day and the heat treatment came came out a few days later. They got rid of them and the lovely lady in the office also put up with my constant texts looking for advice and reassurance. Thanks a million will definitely recommend you 100%

FAQs
Can’t see your question? Call 0808 189 2310 and speak to a specialist.
In Devon, pest control is handled by the local city or district council, such as Exeter City Council or Torbay Council, rather than Devon County Council. Services for bed bugs vary from council to council and can change, so check your council’s website first. If a council service is not available or you want a whole-property heat treatment, we travel out from London to treat homes across Devon.
It depends on your tenancy and how the bed bugs arrived. Landlords are usually expected to deal with an infestation that was there before you moved in or that spreads from elsewhere in the building, while a tenant may be asked to pay if they brought bed bugs in. Tell your landlord or letting agent in writing as soon as you notice signs. We provide treatment paperwork that landlords and tenants can both keep. Our guide Landlord Won’t Treat Bed Bugs? explains your options.
Yes. We treat shared student houses and flats in Exeter for students, landlords and letting agents. Bed bugs move between bedrooms, so we usually recommend treating the whole house together rather than one room, and we give every housemate clear preparation advice beforehand.
Yes. We treat holiday lets, guest houses, B&Bs and small hotels across Torbay, East Devon and North Devon. We arrive in discreet unmarked vans, plan the work around your bookings and advise on checking rooms between guests so a problem is spotted early.
Most treatments are completed within a day, and you can usually move back in after about 2 hours, unless your technician advises otherwise. Larger houses or heavier infestations can take longer, and a return visit is sometimes needed. Because we travel out from London, we agree the treatment date with you in advance.
Qualifying treatments carry our 12-week guarantee. If live bed bug activity is found within that period, we come back in line with the guarantee terms. See our bed bug treatment prices page for what qualifies.
