Chemical-Free Steam Treatment
Steam treatment uses extremely hot, dry steam to kill insects on contact. It is particularly effective against eggs and nymphs and leaves no chemical residue, which makes it well suited to clothing, soft furnishings and surfaces where sprays are not wanted.
It is a targeted, contact-based method. Steam kills on the surfaces it reaches - the seams of a mattress, the folds of upholstery, skirting and accessible crevices - and is most powerful as part of a complete treatment plan. Every treatment in South Yorkshire is carried out by our RSPH (BPCA) Level 2 certified and trainee technicians.
How Steam Treatment Works
High-temperature steam is applied directly to infested surfaces, burning any insects and eggs it makes contact with. Because the heat is delivered at the nozzle, it kills instantly on the surfaces it reaches without soaking or marking most materials.
Steam can only treat what it touches. Bed bugs in particular hide in cracks, crevices and voids that surface steam cannot always reach, so for a full infestation we combine steam with other methods. For complete, single-visit eradication of a whole room, our heat treatment is the most thorough option.

Steam as Part of a Complete Treatment
JG Pest Control most often uses steam to kill insects on clothing and soft furnishings, such as clothes moths, and to treat the surfaces and seams where bed bugs gather. Because steam only treats what it can reach, we pair it with chemical or heat treatment where a full infestation needs clearing throughout a room.
