Bed Bug Chemical Spray Treatment
Our technicians have applied chemical spray as a backup on heat treatment jobs throughout more than 20 years in pest control. Because so many of you keep asking for it on its own, we’re now offering it as a standalone, budget-friendly option for early-stage, light infestations.
- Full property assessment on arrival
- Targeted spray to affected areas & harbourage points
- Same professional-grade product we use on every heat treatment
- Aftercare & prevention advice
- Option to upgrade to full heat treatment at any time
Please note: this service carries no guarantee. Our 60-day written guarantee applies to heat treatment only.

Backed By 20+ Years of Backup Spraying
We still stand by heat treatment as the single best method of resolving a bed bug infestation — it’s the only treatment we guarantee. But chemical spraying isn’t new to us.
Our Built-In Safety Net
On the day of every heat treatment we carry out, we also apply a chemical spray as a secondary backup — in case any bugs have somehow survived the heat. It’s rare, but it’s part of how we’ve delivered consistent results for two decades. That means spray application isn’t a new sideline for us; it’s something our technicians do on almost every single job.
Why We’re Now Offering It On Its Own
We continuously get asked whether we’ll do the spray by itself, without the full heat treatment. So we’re now offering it as a standalone service. Whatever the reason you’re asking — sometimes it’s a budget issue, sometimes it’s a high-rise flat that makes heat equipment tricky to get in, sometimes you just want the cheaper option tried first — we’ll do it for you.
Be Honest With Yourself First
Is Chemical Spray Right For You?
We’d rather tell you this upfront than have you disappointed. A single chemical spray visit is a genuinely useful option in the right situation — but it isn’t a like-for-like replacement for heat treatment, and we want you going in with the right expectations.
The honest truth about what spray alone can and can’t do
If it has only been a matter of days since bed bugs were brought into your home, a spray treatment alone may well sort the problem out completely. But if the bed bugs have had time to lay eggs — which happens quickly — a single spray will not fully resolve the infestation, because eggs are far more resistant to insecticide than adult bugs. That’s the main reason heat treatment remains our recommended, guaranteed solution for anything beyond an early-stage problem.
✓ Good fit for spray-only
- Just noticed bugs in the last few days
- No signs of eggs, shed skins or a growing bite pattern
- Very light, early-stage activity in one small area
- You want to try the lower-cost option first
- Access issues that make heat treatment impractical right now (e.g. a high-rise flat)
✕ You should book heat treatment instead
- Infestation has been going on for more than a week or two
- You’ve found eggs, shed skins, or bugs in multiple rooms
- You want a guaranteed, one-visit result
- A previous spray or shop-bought product hasn’t worked
- You want our 60-day written guarantee

Is this the same as bed bug fumigation?
Not quite — and the difference matters. “Fumigation” properly means filling a sealed space with a gas, and true gas fumigation is not used for bed bugs in UK homes: it requires tenting the property, specialist licensing and evacuation for days. What most companies advertise as bed bug fumigation is actually fogging or spraying — dispersing insecticide as a fine mist around the room.
Fogging looks impressive and reaches surfaces quickly, but it shares the same two weaknesses as any chemical approach: it does not kill eggs, and the mist settles on surfaces rather than penetrating the mattress seams, frame joints and skirting voids where bed bugs actually shelter. It can also scatter a population into neighbouring rooms, turning a one-room problem into a whole-flat one.
Our spray treatment is a targeted application — a technician treating the specific harbourages they can identify, which is considerably more effective than fogging a room at random. But if you came here searching for fumigation because you want the infestation gone in one go, the treatment that genuinely does that is heat treatment: it takes the whole room above 56°C and kills every life stage including the eggs, with no chemical residue at all. Call 0121 751 3341 and we will tell you honestly which of the two your situation needs.
