Local bed bug specialists
Our bed bug specialists travel out from London to treat homes, rentals and businesses across York, from Clifton and Fishergate to Acomb, Heslington and Haxby. We do not have a local office in York; we come to you with professional equipment for bed bug heat treatment, planned around the layout of your property and where the bed bugs are.
York has a bit of everything we treat: Victorian terraces, family homes in the suburbs, student lets near the University of York and York St John, and hotels, guest houses and short lets busy with visitors through the year. We are a BPCA and NPTA member, use live temperature monitoring on our heat treatments and arrive in discreet unmarked vans. 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 like to hide, such as mattress seams, bed frames, skirting boards and sofa joints, and watch the readings live so no room is left short.
A typical York job might be a Victorian terrace in Fishergate let as a student house, with bedrooms on two or three floors. We plan the heat room by room so every floor reaches temperature, and we give tenants and landlords clear preparation advice beforehand. In older city-centre buildings with thick walls and timber floors, we take extra care to bring the coolest corners up to temperature.
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
York’s housing is a mix of old and new. In and around the city walls there are centuries-old buildings, flats above shops and converted townhouses, while areas such as Fishergate and Clifton have streets of Victorian and Edwardian terraces. Further out, Acomb and Haxby are mostly family homes, from post-war semis to newer estates. Bed bugs can settle in any of these, but they move more easily where flats and terraces share walls, floors and loft spaces.
The city also has a large rental market. Students at the University of York in Heslington and at York St John University near the city centre often live in shared houses, and tenancies change hands every summer, so beds, sofas and moving boxes pass from one let to the next. Landlords and letting agents should act quickly when a tenant reports bites.
York is a popular visitor city, with hotels, guest houses and short-term lets welcoming guests through the year, and the railway station brings in commuters and day visitors. Travellers can carry bed bugs in luggage without knowing it, so regular checks of bedrooms and soft furnishings help catch problems early.
Useful guides for York residents:
Pricing
Whole-property bed bug heat treatment in York starts from £895. The final price depends on the size and layout of the property, how far the bed bugs have spread and how much preparation is needed. A student house in Heslington with several let rooms, a guest house with a run of bedrooms or a tall older building in the city centre takes more equipment and time than a one-bedroom flat, and parking and access inside the city walls can affect how we set up on the day.
We confirm the price after a detailed conversation about the property, or a survey where needed, so landlords, owners and tenants know what is included before we travel out. Qualifying treatments carry our 12-week guarantee. See our bed bug treatment prices for what is included and the full guarantee terms.
Reviews
Gavin answered all my questions (And as a first time and hopefully last bed bug sufferer I had many!) He was very friendly and cooperative, The lads he sent for my heat treatment were friendly and did a super thorough job. Thanks guys!

My partner and young child had been getting bites for weeks and we finally found some live bedbugs in our bedroom and after researching different options we had decided that heat treatment would be the best option. We had more than a lot of questions but Gavin was helpful and patient with us which we really appreciated as we felt like we were going mad at times due to these little buggers.
Since the treatment we have not had a single bite and our finally remembering what a normal nights sleep feels like again so THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!
Dean Marsh
I can’t thank ThermoPest enough for their incredible bed bug removal service. We had been dealing with bed bugs for weeks, and the stress was unbearable. Every night felt like a battle, and my family was losing sleep. Gavin and his team were a breath of fresh air. They explained the process thoroughly, and the heat treatment was completed within a day. It’s been weeks now, and we haven’t seen a single bed bug.
Sophie Knights
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%

Our guide to council vs private bed bug treatment explains the differences.
