Bed Bug Heat Treatments,
by
Marvel Pest Control
Bed bugs are one of the most difficult pests to eradicate, and once they establish themselves in a property, they can spread quickly through bedrooms, furniture, and adjoining areas. At Marvel Pest Control, we specialise in advanced heat treatments and targeted chemical applications designed to eliminate bed bugs at every life stage — including eggs, which are often resistant to standard treatments. Our expert technicians provide fast, discreet, and highly effective solutions for both homes and commercial properties.

How Our Bed Bug Treatment Works
1. Detailed Inspection
Our process begins with a thorough inspection of all affected rooms to identify infestation levels, harbourage points, and potential spread. We check beds, frames, skirting boards, wardrobes, carpets, electrical sockets, and all areas where bed bugs typically hide.
2. Industry-Leading Heat Treatment
We use professional-grade heat systems that safely raise room temperatures to between 50–60°C, the lethal range for bed bugs and their eggs. Heat penetrates deep into mattresses, furniture, fabrics, and hidden crevices, delivering complete eradication.
3. Targeted Residual Application
To provide long-term protection, we apply a residual insecticide to key areas. This helps prevent any surviving bugs (if introduced later) from re-establishing a colony.
4. Follow-Up Support
Depending on infestation severity, follow-up visits may be recommended. We provide ongoing advice, monitoring guidance, and aftercare support to ensure the property remains bed bug-free.
