Professional Bed Bug Treatment in London & Essex
Dealing with a bed bug infestation can quickly become distressing. These pests hide in furniture and bedding, causing itchy bites and sleepless nights. They spread rapidly in both homes and businesses, making professional intervention essential for complete eradication.
At Pest Pro London, we're NPTA-certified specialists offering same-day service across London and Essex. Our expert technicians use proven heat treatment and chemical solutions to eliminate infestations permanently. We provide rapid response—including evenings and bank holidays—so you can reclaim your peace of mind quickly.
How do infestations start? Bed bugs often enter undetected via luggage, used furniture, clothing, or visitors. Common sources include travel (hotels, public transport), second-hand items (furniture, mattresses), and dense living areas (flats, shared housing) where they spread quickly between units.
How to Prevent Future Bed Bugs Infestations
Proactive steps can greatly reduce your chances of encountering bed bugs and help you get rid of bed bugs permanently. Here's how to protect your home or business from future infestations:
Inspect luggage
Check suitcases and clothing after travelling, especially from high-risk areas.
Be cautious with second-hand items
Examine used furniture and textiles carefully before bringing them indoors.
Declutter
Reduce hiding spots by keeping rooms tidy and minimising clutter around beds and furniture.
Monitor regularly
Look for signs such as tiny dark spots, shed skins, or bites, and act quickly if noticed.
What Do Bed Bugs Look Like?
Identifying bed bugs early is crucial for effective treatment. Here's what to look for:
Adult Bed Bugs
Adult bed bugs are reddish-brown, flat, and about 4-5mm long (similar to an apple seed). They have oval-shaped bodies and six legs.
Bed Bugs Bites
Bites often appear in lines or clusters on exposed skin, causing itchy, red welts that can last for several days.
Signs of an Infestation
Look for tiny dark spots (droppings), shed skins, bloodstains on bedding, and a musty odor in heavily infested areas.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bed Bugs
Get answers to common questions about bed bug identification, treatment, prevention, and professional pest control services.
How do I know if I have bed bugs?
Common signs include red, itchy bites on your skin, small blood stains on your sheets, or tiny dark spots (bed bug excrement) on your mattress or furniture. Professional treatment is necessary since bed bugs hide in difficult-to-reach areas and resist DIY methods.
Where do bed bugs hide?
Bed bugs typically shelter in cracks and crevices near where you sleep, such as in mattresses, bed frames, headboards, and nearby furniture. They can also be found in baseboards, carpets, and even electrical outlets. They can survive up to a year without feeding.
Are bed bugs only found in dirty homes?
No. Bed bugs can infest any home, regardless of cleanliness. They arrive via luggage, second-hand furniture, or clothing and spread easily in populated areas. Prevention involves inspecting used furniture, using protective mattress covers, and checking hotel rooms while traveling.
Can bed bugs spread diseases?
Bed bugs are not known to transmit diseases, but their bites can cause discomfort. Bites become itchy and swollen over time, and some people experience allergic reactions. Excessive scratching may cause secondary infections.
How can I prevent bed bugs?
Inspect secondhand furniture before bringing it inside, use protective mattress covers, and check accommodations while traveling. Washing on high heat (around 50°C and above) or freezing temperatures (below 0°C) can kill bed bugs.
Do bed bug bites hurt?
Bed bug bites are usually painless at first but can become itchy and swollen over time. Reactions vary—some people experience allergies while others show no response.
How long does it take to get rid of bed bugs?
Bed bug treatments typically require at least two visits, depending on how severe the infestation is. Residual insecticides continue to work after treatment, but it can take several weeks for all bed bugs to come into contact with treated surfaces. At Pest Pro London, we tailor the approach to ensure complete eradication.
Is professional bed bugs treatment safe?
Yes. When performed by qualified professionals, bed bugs treatments are safe for your family and pets. Pest Pro London uses carefully selected products that are approved for use in domestic and commercial environments and always follows strict safety protocols.
How much does bed bug treatment cost?
Our professional services start from £450 for 2-3 treatments, including a detailed inspection and residual treatment. Heat treatment starts from £650 for chemical-free whole-room service. We provide transparent pricing, and larger properties or severe infestations may require additional costs. We'll always provide a clear quote upfront.
