How Much Does Bed Bug Treatment Cost in Bexley?

The Published Price

One bedroom is £220. A second room is £120 on top, a third another £120, and so on. Tell us how many rooms are affected when you ring and you will have the whole figure before anything is booked.

Why the Room Is the Unit

Bed bugs live in the room, not in the bed. Treatment covers the mattress and frame, the headboard and the wall behind it, the adjoining furniture, the skirting edges and the flooring perimeter. Doubling the rooms genuinely doubles most of that work, which is why it is priced by room rather than by property.

The additional room is £120 rather than another £220 because the survey, the preparation advice and the travelling have already been done once.

The Second Visit Is Not an Extra

Nothing on the market kills bed bug eggs that have not hatched yet. That is a fact about the insect, not a limitation of a particular product, and it means a follow-up is required on essentially every job.

So it is inside the published price. Anyone quoting you a single visit for bed bugs is quoting for a job they will have to come back and finish, and the question is only whether you find out before or after you have paid.

How to Work Out Your Own Figure

Count the rooms where anyone has been bitten while asleep, plus any room a sofa or armchair that gets slept on lives in. That is usually the answer. If you are not sure whether a second room is involved, say so - it is better to have it looked at on the first visit than to treat one room and watch the problem walk back in from next door.

Preparation Costs You Nothing and Changes the Result

You will get a preparation list when you book. Bedding bagged and washed hot, clutter cleared from under and around the bed, furniture pulled off the walls. Rooms that are properly prepared get a better treatment for the same money, because the edges and harbourage can actually be reached.

One thing that is worth more than the whole preparation list: do not move an infested mattress through the house, and do not start sleeping in another room. That is how a £220 job becomes a £460 one.
