Proven Heat Treatment – With Full Data Proof for Every Room
Most bed bug heat treatments rely on guesswork. We rely on data.
We place temperature monitoring probes in every room – in mattress cores, behind skirting boards, inside furniture joints, and in wall cavities. We track the temperature in real time throughout the entire process. And when we’re done, you receive a comprehensive data report that proves every square inch of your property reached the lethal threshold.
Why It Matters
Without monitoring, you have no proof.
Bed bugs hide in the coldest parts of a room – deep inside mattresses, behind skirting boards, inside bed frames, and in wall cavities. If those areas don’t reach and maintain 50°C+, eggs can survive and the infestation returns.
Many pest control companies simply turn on the heaters and hope for the best. They check the air temperature in the middle of the room and call it done. But air temperature is not the same as the temperature inside a mattress or behind a wall.
That’s where we’re different.
Our Process
-
Strategic Probe Placement
Before we turn on a single heater, our technicians place multiple temperature probes throughout your property:
- Inside mattress cores
- Deep within sofa cushions
- Behind skirting boards
- Inside bed frame voids
- In wall cavities and electrical sockets
- In every room being treated
-
Real-Time Monitoring
Throughout the treatment, we monitor every probe in real time from outside the property. We don’t guess – we know exactly when every single hiding spot has reached and sustained the lethal temperature.
-
Full Data Report
After treatment, you receive a detailed data report that includes:
- Temperature graphs for every probe in every room
- Time-stamped logs showing duration above 50°C
- Pre- and post-treatment inspection notes
- Certificate of successful eradication
This report is your formal proof – perfect for:
- Property buyers – demonstrate the property is bed-bug free
- Landlords & letting agents – compliance documentation for tenancy handovers
- Environmental health – evidence for regulatory bodies
- Insurance claims – documented proof of professional treatment

Bed bugs and their eggs only die when their core temperature is held above roughly 56°C for long enough. The problem with heat treatment is never the middle of the room — it is the cold spots. Heat is slow to reach the places bed bugs actually shelter: deep inside a mattress, the void behind a headboard, under a heavy wardrobe, inside a wall cavity or beneath floorboards. If any one of those spots stays below the lethal threshold, the survivors re-start the infestation within weeks. That is why heat treatments fail, and why “the room felt hot” proves nothing.
We place wireless temperature sensors at the hardest-to-heat points in every room we treat — not in the open air where the number always looks good, but in the exact harbourages where bed bugs hide. Those sensors log the temperature continuously throughout the treatment, and our technicians use the live readings to move heat and airflow until every monitored point has reached and held the lethal temperature. Nothing is left to assumption.
When we finish, you receive a report showing the temperature curve for every monitored location across the whole treatment — documented proof that the lethal threshold was reached and sustained everywhere it needed to be, cold spots included. For a landlord, care home or hotel that is evidence for your records; for a homeowner it is simply the difference between hoping the treatment worked and knowing it did.
