Bed bug heat treatment is quoted per job after a free survey, because the cost depends on the size of the property, how many rooms are affected, and how established the infestation is. We do not publish fixed online prices, because no two infestations are the same, but every quote is confirmed in writing before any work begins and there are no hidden costs or call-out fees.
JG Pest Control has been clearing bed bugs since 2010, our technicians are RSPH (BPCA) Level 2 certified, and we are rated 4.8 out of 5 from more than 25,000 reviews on Trustpilot. We are open every day except Christmas Day, including evenings and weekends, with same-day surveys available across our coverage area.
What determines the cost of bed bug heat treatment?
A few practical things decide the price of any heat treatment job:
- The size and type of property, a single bedroom in a flat needs far less time and equipment than a four-bedroom house or an HMO.
- How many rooms are affected, bed bugs spread, so we treat every affected room plus adjoining spaces to make sure nothing survives.
- The severity of the infestation, a problem caught early is quicker to clear than one that has been building for months.
- Access and preparation, clear, well-prepared rooms heat evenly and treat faster.
- Whether a single visit or a follow-up is needed, many jobs are resolved in one treatment, and our guarantee covers a return visit if it is.
What is included in the price
Every bed bug heat treatment quote covers the full job, not just the visit:
- A thorough survey to confirm the species and map the infestation
- The complete heat treatment, raising the room to a temperature that kills bed bugs at every life stage, including the eggs that sprays often miss
- Monitoring and practical advice to stop the problem coming back
- A written guarantee, with a return visit included if activity continues within the cover period
There is no call-out fee and no hidden extras. The price you agree at the survey is the price you pay.
Is heat treatment more expensive than chemical treatment?
Heat treatment can look like a larger single cost than a chemical spray, but it usually works out as better value over the whole job. A chemical programme often needs several visits spaced over weeks, while heat treatment kills live bed bugs and their eggs in a single controlled treatment. It is also chemical-free, which matters in bedrooms, children’s rooms, hotels and care settings. When you compare the full cost of actually clearing the infestation rather than the cost of one visit, heat is frequently the more cost-effective route.

How to get an accurate bed bug heat treatment quote
The only honest way to price the work is to see the problem.

Because we are locally based we can usually survey the same day and treat quickly afterwards.
Why we do not list fixed prices online
Anyone quoting a single online price for bed bug treatment is guessing. A one-room flat and a whole house are completely different jobs, and a fixed online figure either overcharges the small job or underdelivers on the big one. We would rather survey the property, tell you exactly what is needed, and confirm the cost in writing so there are no surprises.
