Our pest control services in Southampton
Heat treatment for bed bugs, fleas and moths
Heat treatment is the fastest chemical-free way to clear bed bugs, fleas, moths, carpet beetles and cockroaches at every life stage, usually in a single visit. We seal the area, heat it to around 56°C (up to 60°C where needed to destroy egg cases) with industrial heaters and fans, and use sensors to confirm every corner reaches the right temperature.
Heat treatment of the whole house or flat comes with a pest-free guarantee of up to 6 months. Because infestations spread beyond one room, the guarantee applies only to whole-property heat treatment. If you would prefer a lower-cost option, we also offer chemical treatments, and we will explain the differences so you can choose what suits you.
Cockroach control
For cockroaches we use heat treatment or professional gel baits, depending on the species, the size of the infestation and the property. Gel baits work well in kitchens and shared buildings where cockroaches hide behind appliances and inside units.
Wasp nest removal
For wasp nest removal we find the nest, treat it with a professional insecticide for fast knockdown, remove it when it is safe and reachable, and show you how to stop wasps nesting there again.
Rat and mouse control
For rats and mice we inspect your property, find how rodents get in, place tamper-proof bait stations and return for follow-up visits, then advise on proofing entry points to keep them out.
Pest control across Southampton’s neighbourhoods
We work in every part of the city, from terraced streets and flats to family homes and shared houses. Areas we regularly cover include:
- Shirley and Millbrook (SO15, SO16): close to our base, ideal for a quick visit for bed bugs, fleas or mice.
- Portswood, Highfield and Swaythling (SO17): busy rental and student areas where bed bugs can move between rooms and flats.
- Bitterne and Thornhill (SO18, SO19): homes on the east side of the Itchen.
- Woolston and Sholing (SO19): houses and flats near the water, where rodents can be a problem.
- City centre, Bevois Valley and Ocean Village (SO14): flats, apartment blocks and shared buildings.
- Totton (SO40), Eastleigh (SO50), Hedge End (SO30) and Chandler’s Ford (SO53): towns on the edge of the city, all within easy reach.
Landlords, letting agents, HMOs and student houses
Southampton has a large number of rented homes, shared houses and HMOs, especially around the universities. Bed bugs and cockroaches spread easily in these buildings because people, furniture and luggage move between rooms. Treating a single room rarely solves the problem, which is why we recommend whole-property heat treatment, and why our guarantee of up to 6 months applies only when the whole house or flat is treated.
We work with landlords, letting agents and tenants to arrange access, explain how to prepare the property and keep disruption to a minimum. Students who spot bites or small dark marks on mattresses can send us photos on WhatsApp for quick advice before the problem spreads.

Frequently asked questions
How much does pest control in Southampton cost?
Every job is different, so we give a free quote based on the pest, the size of the property and the treatment you choose. Sending photos on WhatsApp is the quickest way to get one.
Is heat treatment safe?
Yes. Heat treatment uses no chemicals. We raise the temperature to around 56°C to 60°C and monitor it with sensors, and we explain how to prepare your home before we start.
What does the guarantee cover?
We offer a pest-free guarantee of up to 6 months on heat treatment of the whole house or flat, because treating the entire property is by far the most effective way to clear an infestation. For the best possible results, we often recommend combining heat treatment with a targeted chemical treatment.
Chemical treatments are a good, more affordable option, but they work best together with our preparation and aftercare advice. No honest pest controller can promise 100% results from chemicals alone, so these treatments are not covered by the guarantee. We will always explain the options and help you choose what suits your home and budget.
Do you come back for rats and mice?
Yes. Rodent control includes follow-up visits to check bait stations and activity, plus advice on sealing entry points.
Can you help on a Sunday?
We are open Monday to Saturday from 7:00 to 20:00. On Sundays we handle emergencies only, so please call us if it cannot wait.
Do you work with HMOs and student houses?
Yes. We treat shared houses, HMOs and flats across Southampton and can liaise with landlords and letting agents to arrange access.
