Specialist bed bug heat treatment for Birmingham and West Midlands
Birmingham is the UK's largest city outside London and the busiest bed bug zone in the Midlands. With over a million residents, two major universities, the NEC, the new HS2 terminus at Curzon Street, and a constant stream of business travellers through New Street and Snow Hill, infestations spread fast across the B postcode area. Our Birmingham heat treatment teams cover the city centre, the southern suburbs around Edgbaston and Selly Oak, the eastern districts of Bordesley and Small Heath, and the northern run out to Erdington and Sutton Coldfield.
We treat private flats in Brindleyplace, the Jewellery Quarter and Mailbox apartments; student houses around Selly Oak and Bournbrook serving the University of Birmingham; HMOs across Sparkbrook, Sparkhill and Aston serving Aston University; hotels along Broad Street and around the ICC; and family homes throughout Moseley, Kings Heath and Harborne. Birmingham's mix of red-brick Victorian back-to-backs, post-war tower blocks and modern canal-side apartments all create harbourage that's effectively impossible to clear with sprays alone.
Bed bugs in Birmingham are typically brought in via New Street Station, Birmingham Airport, business hotels around the ICC, or second-hand furniture from the Bullring markets. Heat treatment at 50–60°C kills every life stage in one cycle so residents are back in their own beds the same evening.
Why heat treatment is the right choice in Birmingham
Birmingham's Victorian back-to-backs, 1960s tower blocks and modern canal-side apartments give bed bugs an unusual amount of harbourage — voids behind original lath-and-plaster, service risers in tower blocks, and aluminium-framed windows in the Mailbox-era developments. Heat reaches every one of these in a single cycle, with no residue near food prep in tightly-packed inner-city flats.
Heat treatment works because bed bugs and their eggs die at temperatures bed bugs cannot tolerate. We raise the air temperature in your Birmingham property to 50–60°C and hold it there for at least 90 minutes — long past the kill threshold for adults, nymphs and eggs. Because every life stage dies in the same cycle, there is no need for follow-up sprays and no ‘wait-and-see’ period. For a full explanation of the science and the treatment process, see our main bed bug heat treatment page.

Reviews from Birmingham customers
“Bed bugs in our converted-warehouse flat — exactly the kind of property where chemicals would never have reached. One heat treatment cleared the whole place and we slept there the same night.”
“Six-bed student let with an infestation that two previous pest controllers couldn't clear. Heat treatment did it in one visit. Will use again across my whole Selly Oak portfolio.”
