What is Bed Bug Heater Rental?
If you're dealing with a bed bug infestation in London, our assisted Bed Bug Heater Rental service gives you access to professional heat-treatment equipment without paying for a conventional fully managed heat-treatment service.
Powerful indirect diesel heaters, industrial circulation fans and temperature-monitoring equipment are used to raise and maintain temperatures throughout the treatment area. When sufficient temperatures and exposure times reach bed bugs and their harbourages, heat can kill all life stages, including eggs.
I deliver the equipment, help set everything up, operate the diesel heaters and stay throughout the treatment. Temperatures are monitored during the day and I'll guide you through the entire process.

Why Small Electric Heaters Are Not Enough for Whole-Room Treatment
Small domestic electric heaters are generally not suitable for professional whole-room bed bug heat treatment. Successfully heating a furnished room requires substantial heating capacity together with industrial circulation fans and careful temperature monitoring.
It isn't just the air temperature that matters. Mattresses, carpets, furniture, fabrics and potential bed bug harbourages must receive sufficient thermal exposure. This is why temperatures are monitored throughout the treatment rather than relying on a single room-air reading.
Why Professional-Grade Heat Can Be Effective Against Bed Bugs
- Heat can reach many harbourages that are difficult to treat directly, including mattresses, upholstered furniture, carpets, bed frames and cracks and crevices.
- Heat can kill all bed bug life stages, including eggs, provided sufficient temperatures reach them for the required exposure time.
- Industrial heaters and circulation fans help distribute heat throughout the treatment area, while temperature monitoring helps identify areas that are slower to heat.
- Treatment can normally be completed in one day. Preparation, airflow, monitoring and achieving adequate thermal exposure throughout the treatment area are all important to its success.
London travel, congestion and parking charges may apply depending on the property location. Any additional charges will be confirmed before booking.

Bed Bug Heater Hire London FAQs
Common questions about our assisted bed bug heat treatment service in London.
Why should I choose assisted heat treatment?
Assisted heat treatment gives you access to professional heat-treatment equipment at a lower cost than a fully managed professional treatment. I deliver the equipment, help with setup, operate the diesel heaters and stay throughout the treatment to provide support and monitor progress.
Why should I choose MothKill?
I specialise in insect heat treatment and supply the heating, airflow and temperature-monitoring equipment required for the treatment. I stay on site throughout the day, operate the diesel heaters and provide guidance from setup through to completion.
What if I cannot manage the treatment myself?
You are not simply left with the equipment. I help with setup, operate the diesel heaters and remain on site throughout the treatment. I will guide you through what needs to be done during the day.
What is included in the assisted heat treatment package?
The package includes the equipment required for the agreed treatment, including:
- Indirect diesel heaters
- Industrial circulation fans
- Heat-resistant ducting
- Temperature-monitoring equipment
- Diesel fuel
- Delivery and setup assistance
- Technician on site throughout the treatment
- Professional guidance during the day
Can bed bug heat treatment fail?
Heat treatment is highly effective when sufficient temperatures reach bed bugs and their harbourages for the required exposure time. Success depends on preparation, airflow, temperature monitoring and identifying areas that are slower to heat.
This is one reason I stay throughout the treatment rather than simply dropping off the heaters.
What pests can be treated with heat?
Heat treatment can be used against bed bugs, clothes moths, carpet beetles and some other insect pests. Suitability depends on the pest, property and circumstances.
What temperatures are used?
Treatment areas are progressively heated and monitored using temperature-measuring equipment. Room temperatures can reach around 50–60°C or higher in selected areas, but air temperature alone does not determine whether treatment has been successful.
The important factor is achieving sufficient thermal exposure in the places and materials where bed bugs may be hiding.
What needs to be removed before heat treatment?
Heat-sensitive or potentially hazardous items need to be removed or protected before treatment. These can include:
- Aerosols, pressurised containers and lighters
- Medicines and certain cosmetics
- Candles and other wax products
- Plants and pets
- Vinyl records and other heat-sensitive media
- Delicate antiques, artwork and valuable items
- Plastic blinds, rails and items that could distort
- Some laminated or glued furniture and fittings
Preparation requirements will be discussed before the treatment because every property is different.
Do I need to prepare the property?
Yes. Correct preparation is an important part of heat treatment. Rooms need to be accessible, excessive clutter should be addressed, and heat-sensitive items must be identified before treatment.
You will receive preparation guidance before the treatment date.
Are diesel fumes released inside the property?
No. The indirect diesel heaters operate outside the treatment area. Combustion gases remain outside while heated air is ducted into the property.
Is bed bug heat treatment safe for the property?
Professional heat treatment is carefully controlled and temperatures are monitored throughout the treatment. However, some belongings and materials can be heat sensitive, which is why correct preparation is important.
People and pets should not remain in the heated treatment area.
Can you treat flats in London?
The assisted heater-hire service is generally suitable for ground-floor flats where there is appropriate access for the equipment and ducting. Property suitability is confirmed before booking.
Is there an equipment deposit?
No equipment deposit is normally required because I remain on site throughout the treatment.
How is payment made?
A 25% deposit secures the booking. The remaining balance is payable in full on arrival before the treatment begins.
How long does bed bug heat treatment take?
Treatment time depends on the property, room sizes, contents and how quickly the required temperatures are achieved. Allow a full day for setup, heating, monitoring and packing away.
Is delivery included?
Delivery and collection of the treatment equipment are included as part of the service. London travel, congestion and parking charges may apply depending on the property location and will be confirmed before booking.
Is assisted heat treatment suitable for every property?
No. Access, property layout, floor level, room sizes and other practical considerations can affect whether this service is suitable.
Contact MothKill with your postcode, property type and number of rooms and I can assess whether the assisted option is appropriate.
Do I have to operate the diesel heaters?
No. The diesel heaters are operated by the technician. I stay on site throughout the treatment and manage the heating equipment while the treatment progresses.
