Chemical-Free Freeze Treatment for Infested Items

Freezing is an effective, chemical-free way to remove bed bugs, clothes moths and other insects from fabrics, clothing and luggage without damaging the items. It is the ideal treatment where heat or chemicals are not suitable, and for portable belongings that can be treated away from the property.

Because the items are treated off site, there is no need to close off any part of your home or business while the work is carried out. Every treatment in South Yorkshire is handled by our RSPH (BPCA) Level 2 certified and trainee technicians.

How Freeze Treatment Works

The infested item is held at a sustained sub-zero temperature for between 48 and 72 hours - long enough to destroy every life stage of the insect, including the eggs that survive many other treatments. JG Pest Control uses industrial specialist freezers capable of reaching temperatures as low as -22°C, removing all insects and eggs.

While small items can sometimes be chilled in a domestic freezer, a deep professional freeze is usually needed to guarantee a complete kill throughout the item. Our freezers hold a controlled, lethal temperature for the full treatment time, so nothing survives.
