Why heat treatment beats sprays in CM5
Chemicals leave eggs alive. Heat doesn't. A single bed bug egg surviving treatment will reinfest a property in 4-6 weeks, which is why pesticide jobs almost always need 2-4 follow-up visits. One heat treatment ends it.
Bed bugs in CM5: the local picture
Property type matters more than postcode. Victorian conversions in CM5 are higher-risk than modern new-builds because bugs travel through shared wall cavities, floor voids and service risers. We treat the whole envelope of an affected unit and any shared boundaries.
How a CM5 treatment runs
Our CM5 treatments run in three phases: (1) ramp-up to lethal temperature (~90 minutes), (2) sustained kill phase at +141 °F (3-6 hours), (3) controlled cool-down. You'll get a written 6-month guarantee handed over before we leave site. No chemicals, no follow-up sprays, no second visit.

CM5 bed bug FAQs
How do I know if I actually have bed bugs in my CM5 property?
Tell-tale signs: clusters of small bites in lines on exposed skin, tiny dark blood-spot smears on bedding, pale shed skins along mattress seams, and a faint sweet-musty odour in heavy infestations. We can confirm on inspection.
Do you cover all of the CM postcode area?
Yes — every district from CM1 upwards. Whether you're in CM5 or a neighbouring district, the same-day heat treatment service applies.
Do I have to leave the property during treatment?
Yes, for safety reasons. Treatments typically run 4-8 hours and the property reaches +141 °F. You can return the same evening once cool-down completes.
How soon after a CM5 treatment can I sleep in the bed?
The same night. Heat treatment leaves no residue and the bed is back in use immediately after cool-down.
