Bed bugs can hide in seams, joints and nearby furniture. Our standard approach combines targeted steam, professional insecticide and an insect growth regulator, with preparation and aftercare explained for your home.

Applied to suitable accessible areas as part of the agreed treatment.
Selected products and placements, with residual treatment continuing to work after the visit.
Used as part of the combined approach. The technician explains the products and precautions for your property.
Targeted steam is part of the combined treatment; this is not whole-room heat treatment. Products and placements are chosen for your property.

YOUR HOME, YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES
Tell us before you book, including about fish, birds or a room you cannot easily keep out of use. We explain who needs to be away, how to prepare and the re-entry instructions for the actual treatment.
FROM FIRST CALL TO AFTERCARE
Our standard bed-bug service is planned around one treatment appointment, with residual treatment continuing to work afterwards.
We discuss your property by phone first; there is no separate preliminary visit just to produce a proposal.

Tell us what you have noticed and where. We discuss the scope, preparation and quotation.

Follow the laundry and access instructions. At the appointment, the technician checks the agreed areas before treatment.

Leave the named treated areas undisturbed. If fresh signs concern you, note where and when and call us.
PLAN AROUND YOUR DAY
For an agreed insecticide treatment, allow about 1–1½ hours for the work, followed by around one hour for the air to settle. After cold fogging, the planned settling period is two hours instead of one. Your written product-specific re-entry instructions always take priority.
Do not add shop-bought sprays or clean the named treated areas until your written instructions allow it. Call us first if you are worried about fresh activity.
QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU CALL
We discuss the signs, property, preparation and planned treatment by phone before booking. The technician checks the agreed areas when attending to carry out the work. If conditions differ, we explain any change before proceeding.
