Our treatments are carried out by dedicated bed bug technicians from a BPCA- and NPTA-member company. We use professional heat equipment and monitor temperatures throughout the treatment so heat reaches the areas bed bugs use as harbourage, targeting every life stage including eggs.

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. We set probes in the hardest places to heat, such as box springs, bed bases, skirting boards and wardrobe backs, and track every reading live so we know when each room has been held hot enough.
Take a Clarendon Park terrace let to students: a through lounge, a kitchen extension at the back and bedrooms on two floors, all sharing party walls with the houses either side. We heat the whole house in a planned sequence and point out where neighbouring properties may need checking too.
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
Leicester’s inner neighbourhoods are built around long streets of Victorian red-brick terraces. In Highfields, Belgrave, Clarendon Park and Aylestone, many of these houses share party walls and have been split into flats or let room by room, so a bed bug problem in one home can reach the next if it is not dealt with properly.
The University of Leicester and De Montfort University give the city a large student population. Shared houses near Victoria Park and Clarendon Park change tenants every summer, and furniture is often left behind or passed between lets. Checking beds, sofas and second-hand items before they come into a room is one of the simplest ways to avoid trouble.
Leicester is a close-knit, well-connected city, with family visits from across the UK and abroad, large Diwali celebrations along Belgrave Road and direct trains to London on the Midland Main Line. Travel, visiting guests and busy family homes all mean bed bugs can be carried in on luggage, so early signs such as bites, small blood spots or dark marks on mattress seams are worth acting on quickly.

Pricing
Whole-property bed bug heat treatment in Leicester starts from £895. Your quote depends on the size of the home, the number of rooms affected and how much needs preparing. A compact two-up two-down in Highfields is quicker to heat than a large family house in Evington, while an HMO near the universities with several let rooms, or a flat above a shop on a busy road, needs more planning and equipment.
Access matters too, as narrow streets and permit parking near the centre can affect set-up. We confirm the price before any work begins, and qualifying treatments carry our 12-week guarantee. See our bed bug treatment prices for what is included and the full guarantee terms.
Reviews
We had a horrible experience with bed bugs in our London apartment and honestly didn’t know where to turn. We tried cleaning, washing everything on high heat, even using DIY sprays, but the problem just kept coming back. It got to the point where we were losing sleep every night, so we decided to call in a professional service.
A friend recommended ThermoPest, and from the first phone call I felt more at ease. They were straightforward about what to expect and explained how their bed bug heat treatment in London works. The technicians arrived on time, were very professional, and spent time walking us through the whole process before starting.
The treatment itself took a few hours, and they asked us to prepare the rooms beforehand by decluttering and bagging up certain items. It was clear they knew exactly what they were doing, and they checked every corner to make sure nothing was missed.
The results have been amazing. Within days we noticed a complete difference – no more bites, no more scratching at night, and we could finally relax in our own home again.

After moving into a new flat in London, I started getting bites. I called ThermoPest, and they were round in no time. Their heat treatment was a game-changer—no chemicals, just pure heat to zap the pests. The lads were proper friendly and made sure I understood the process. Not a single bite since. Highly recommend!

I hired Thermopest after multiple unsuccessful attempts of having sprays with other companies. They completed the work in a single visit and I have not had an issue since. I personally think its worth the money and wish I had hired them initially. The whole team were helpful from speaking to Gavin on the phone to the team who came out to visit. I would recommend them to anyone having an issue with bed bugs. Thanks again.

Yes. We treat shared houses and HMOs used by students at the University of Leicester and De Montfort University, including in Clarendon Park and around the city centre. We work with landlords, agents and tenants and give every housemate clear preparation advice.
They can spread through shared walls, floorboards and gaps around pipes, which is why terraced streets in Highfields and Belgrave sometimes need neighbouring homes checked. Read more about bed bugs coming from neighbours.
