Why heat treatment beats sprays in RG18
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 RG18: the local picture
Bed bug cases across Reading have climbed every year since 2020. RG18 reflects the same pattern as the rest of the RG postcodes: dense housing stock, commuter movement and constant Airbnb/short-let churn give bugs a perfect introduction route.
How a RG18 treatment runs
Preparation for a RG18 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.

RG18 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 RG18?
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 RG18 property free of charge.
