The call-out
A Camden Town tenant called us after six weeks of failed sprays. Here is exactly how a single chemical-free heat treatment cleared every life stage in their NW1 conversion flat.
What we found on arrival
When our technician arrived in Camden Town NW1, the signs were exactly what you'd expect: small dark fecal spots along the mattress piping, shed skins behind the headboard, and a handful of live adults tucked into the bed frame joints.
Why heat treatment, not sprays
Chemical sprays only kill what they directly touch. Bed bug eggs are sealed inside a protective shell that resists almost every legally available insecticide on the UK market. Heat is different: at +56°C every life stage dies within minutes.
How the day unfolded
We rolled in industrial heaters and high-volume fans first thing in the morning. Thermal probes went into the deepest cold spots and we ran the room until every probe held above lethal temperature for the full required exposure window.
The aftermath and aftercare
By late afternoon the heaters were off. The resident was given an aftercare checklist: vacuum thoroughly, monitor with interceptors under each bed leg for two weeks, and call us if any activity reappears. They didn't.
What this means for you
Don't waste weeks on shop-bought sprays. A properly executed heat treatment with thermal monitoring eradicates an infestation in one visit — backed by our written 100% kill guarantee.
