How Much Does Bed Bug Treatment Cost in the UK? (2026)

Bed bug treatment costs vary a lot depending on the method. Chemical treatments start at around £40–£65 per room per visit and usually need two or three visits. Heat treatment — which often clears an infestation in a single day — costs roughly £350–£550 per room, or about £700–£1,100 for a typical one-bed home and £900–£1,400 for a two-bed. A professional inspection is usually around £60.

The two main treatment types

• Chemical (insecticide): the cheapest option; the technician treats affected rooms then returns two or three times to catch newly hatched bugs.
• Heat treatment: the room is heated to a temperature that kills bugs and eggs at every life stage. More expensive, but usually works in one visit.

Why DIY rarely works with bed bugs

Bed bugs are one of the hardest household pests to clear yourself. They hide in mattress seams, headboards, skirting and behind sockets, their eggs survive many sprays, and they can live months without feeding. Partial DIY treatment often just scatters them. A professional treats every hiding spot and returns to catch the next generation — which is what ends the infestation.
