Specialist bed bug heat treatment for Crawley and West Sussex
Crawley's position next to Gatwick Airport makes it the busiest bed bug zone in West Sussex. Hotels along the airport perimeter, holiday-let apartments in the centre and HMOs serving the airport's shift workforce see luggage-borne infestations week in, week out. We treat across Tilgate, Furnace Green, Bewbush, Ifield, Maidenbower, Three Bridges and Pound Hill, plus airport hotels and apartments in Manor Royal.
Many Crawley homes are 1950s and 60s new-town construction with cavity walls and shared roof voids on terraces — environments where partial sprays leave eggs alive in the cavity and the infestation rebuilds within a fortnight. Heat saturates the cavity at the same time as the room.
Our Crawley route also covers Horsham, East Grinstead, Reigate, Redhill and Horley with same-week response.
Why heat treatment is the right choice in Crawley
Gatwick is the single largest source of bed bug re-introduction in the South East outside London. Heat treatment kills bugs and eggs in one cycle — critical for hotels that need rooms back on the platform the same morning.
Heat treatment works because bed bugs and their eggs die at temperatures bed bugs cannot tolerate. We raise the air temperature in your Crawley 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.
