Specialist bed bug heat treatment for Brighton and East Sussex
Brighton and Hove has the highest density of guesthouses, hostels and seafront B&Bs on the south coast, plus a constant flow of visitors arriving by train from Victoria and London Bridge. That makes the city one of the most active bed bug zones in the UK — guesthouses around Queen's Road and Old Steine, Airbnbs in Kemptown and North Laine, and seafront hotels between the Palace Pier and Hove Lawns all see regular infestations.
We treat private homes from Seven Dials and Preston Park through to Hove and Portslade, student houses around the University of Sussex and Brighton's Moulsecoomb campus, and short-let apartments throughout the city. The Regency conversions along the seafront — with original cornicing, sash windows and tall skirting — are particularly vulnerable to bed bug harbourage and particularly suited to heat treatment.
Because we work in a single visit with no chemicals, a Brighton guesthouse can take guests again the same evening and a flat is fully safe for children and pets to return to as soon as temperatures drop.
Why heat treatment is the right choice in Brighton
Brighton's housing stock is dominated by tall Regency and Victorian conversions with deep voids behind cornicing and skirting. Spray treatments rarely penetrate; heat fills the whole airspace and kills bugs and eggs simultaneously — critical for businesses on the seafront that can't lose multiple nights of bookings.
Heat treatment works because bed bugs and their eggs die at temperatures bed bugs cannot tolerate. We raise the air temperature in your Brighton 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 Brighton customers
“Spotted bed bugs in one of our seafront rooms during a busy weekend. Team came down from London, treated the room overnight and we re-let it the next morning. Saved the booking.”
“Top-floor flat in a converted Regency house off Western Road. The heat treatment got into all the original woodwork — months later still clear.”
