What affects the cost of bed bug treatment?
- The size and type of property, a single bedroom in a flat is a much smaller job than a four-bedroom house or an HMO.
- How many rooms are affected, bed bugs spread quickly, so we treat every affected room and adjoining spaces to make sure none survive.
- The severity of the infestation, a problem caught early is faster and cheaper to clear than one that has spread for months.
- The treatment method, heat treatment, spray (insecticide) treatment or a combination, each suits different situations and budgets.
- Access and preparation, clear, well-prepared rooms are quicker to treat.
- Whether one visit or a follow-up is needed, many jobs are resolved quickly, and our guarantee covers a return visit if it is needed.
Bed bug spray treatment cost
A spray (insecticide) treatment usually costs less per visit than heat. Insecticides do not reliably kill bed bug eggs, so a spray programme often needs more than one visit to catch the bugs that hatch afterwards. When you compare the full cost of clearing the infestation rather than the price of one visit, the gap with heat narrows. We recommend the right method for your property at the survey.
Bed bug heat treatment cost
Heat treatment can look like a larger single cost than a spray, but it usually works out as better value over the whole job. It raises the room to a temperature that kills bed bugs at every life stage, including the eggs that sprays often miss, in a single controlled treatment. It is also chemical-free, which matters in bedrooms, children’s rooms, hotels and care settings.
A few practical things decide the price of a heat treatment: how many rooms need heating, the size of those rooms, how far the infestation has spread, and how well the rooms are prepared, because clear rooms heat evenly and treat faster. Read more about bed bug heat treatment.
Bed bug treatment cost in London
Bed bug treatment in London is priced in the same way, per job once we have assessed the problem, and London prices are higher than in most other areas. JG Pest Control covers London with local technicians working across London and the surrounding boroughs, who can usually attend the same day. See our London bed bug treatment service for more.
What is included in the price
- A thorough survey to confirm the species and map the infestation
- The full treatment using the method best suited to your property
- Monitoring and practical advice to stop the problem returning
- A written guarantee, with a return visit included if activity continues within the cover period
There is no call-out fee when we carry out a treatment, and no hidden extras. If we attend and no treatment is needed, a minimum charge of £150 + VAT applies. The price you agree at the survey is the price you pay.
Is professional bed bug treatment worth the cost?
Bed bugs do not clear up on their own, and shop-bought sprays rarely reach the eggs or the bugs hidden deep in furniture and frames, so they almost always come back. Professional treatment is built to clear the whole infestation and comes with a guarantee, so you pay once to fix the problem properly rather than repeatedly for treatments that do not work.
