Why heat treatment beats sprays in PO5
Heat is the only treatment that kills bed bugs at every life stage in a single pass. Adult bugs die above 113 °F; the eggs are tougher and need sustained exposure above 118 °F. We deliberately overshoot to +141 °F so the lethal threshold is hit in cracks, mattress seams, behind skirting boards and inside electrical sockets — places sprays never reach.
Bed bugs in PO5: the local picture
Bed bug cases across Portsmouth have climbed every year since 2020. PO5 reflects the same pattern as the rest of the PO postcodes: dense housing stock, commuter movement and constant Airbnb/short-let churn give bugs a perfect introduction route.
How a PO5 treatment runs
Preparation for a PO5 job is light: remove pets, plants, candles, pressurised aerosols and anything that melts below 60 °C. Everything else — including mattresses, sofas, books and electronics — stays in the room and gets sterilised in place.

PO5 bed bug FAQs
Will the heat treatment damage my belongings?
No. The kill threshold is 118-141 °F. Wood, fabrics, mattresses, books, electronics and clothing are all rated well above that. We stage temperature-sensitive items (vinyl records, oil paintings, candles, pressurised aerosols) before the heat ramp begins.
Do you guarantee the treatment in PO5?
Yes — a written 6-month guarantee is handed over on completion. If a bed bug returns within 6 months and you can supply video evidence, we re-treat your PO5 property free of charge.
How much does an emergency bed bug heat treatment cost in PO5?
Pricing depends on property size and infestation severity. A typical one-bed flat in Portsmouth runs significantly cheaper than 3-4 chemical visits and ends the job in a day. Call 0204 569 0701 for a no-obligation quote.
