Bed Bug Case Study

Safe, Effective, and Chemical-Free Bed Bug Eradication

Bed bug found in London

Sustainable Solutions

Our advanced heat treatment method eliminates all life stages of bed bugs, including eggs, by raising the temperature above 52°C for a sustained period of at least two hours. This approach ensures complete eradication without the use of harmful chemicals, making it a safe and eco-friendly solution

Bed bug found behind head board using our remote camera. London

Previous heat treatments conducted  proved ineffective due to cold spots and inadequate heat penetration. Using an endoscope, we discovered bed bugs concealed within the crevices of the bed frame—areas that had likely been missed in prior attempts. To ensure successful eradication, these harborage sites were carefully dusted and sealed before commencing treatment.

Following a thorough survey, we identified the need for a combined approach, utilising both heat and chemical treatments for optimal effectiveness. To prevent further spread, adjoining rooms were carefully monitored using the latest detection technology. Additionally, follow-up appointments were scheduled to ensure full eradication and long-term protection.
