Bed Bug Control

Professional Bed Bug Treatment You Can Rely On

Bed bug infestations are usually resolved with a structured two-visit treatment. Before we arrive, we ask that you prepare the affected rooms so treatment can reach all the areas where bed bugs hide.

Our technician begins with a careful inspection to confirm activity and identify the key hiding places. We then carry out a targeted treatment using professional-grade residual insecticides, applied to beds, furniture and surrounding areas where bed bugs live and breed.

A second visit around two weeks later ensures any newly hatched bed bugs are eliminated. We review progress, repeat treatment where necessary, and provide clear advice to help ensure the problem is fully resolved.

‘Dressed to Kill’

Why Artemis?

‘Professional’, ‘Knowledgeable’, ‘Punctual’, ‘Courteous’
 – this is how customers describe our service.

David with van

Artemis Pest Services is a small, independent, professional business priding itself on its unique customer service.

Based in Reading, we cover the entire county of Berkshire and cross over into the surrounding counties of Surrey, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, and Buckinghamshire.

When we visit your home, we will not only deal with your immediate pest issue but will seek to find its root cause. In the case of rats, this will be looking for access points and may also require ‘baiting the drains’.

All our treatments are a fixed price and guaranteed. While two home visits are the norm, we will continue the treatment until we have eradicated the pests. And, as part of our engagement, we will always give our professional advice on how to avoid a future infestation.

Now, read what else our customers have to say to find out why we are their trusted choice for bed bug control.

Treatment FAQ

Pricing depends on the size of your property and the severity of the infestation. Our guaranteed service includes two treatments, with additional visits at no extra cost if needed. We provide clear, upfront pricing before any work begins.

Our guaranteed treatment requires two visits spaced two weeks apart. Each visit typically takes 2–3 hours. If additional visits are needed, they’re included at no extra cost.

Yes. All treatments are carried out by trained technicians using UK-approved professional products. We follow strict safety guidelines to protect you, your family, and your pets. Any necessary precautions will be clearly explained before we begin.

No. However, you will need to avoid treated rooms for a few hours until surfaces are dry and safe. After that, it’s important to continue sleeping in your bed as your body heat helps draw out bed bugs, making the treatment more effective.

We aim to visit within 24 hours, often sooner if a technician is available in your area. Simply call us and we’ll arrange a convenient time.

We’re based in Reading and cover Berkshire and the surrounding counties. See the footer for a list of main towns we serve, or get in touch if you’re unsure about your location.

While no pest controller can guarantee bed bugs won’t be reintroduced from outside, we provide advice on reducing the risk of new infestations. You may also find our blog ‘Battling Bed Bugs’ helpful.

No. Unlike other pest control companies, we use completely unmarked vehicles with no advertising or company logos. Your privacy is our priority; although we’re always grateful if you do recommend us to neighbours!

Our technicians check for live bugs and signs of activity at each visit. Once there’s no evidence of bed bugs, the infestation is considered eliminated. We’ll also show you how to monitor for any signs of return.

Solal Panel Protection

Solar Panel Protection

In addition to pest control, Artemis Pest Services is one of the area’s leading installers of solar panel mesh (‘netting’). Working from ladders, where it is safe to do so, we provide a cost-effective solution to the problems caused by pigeons nesting behind solar panels.

In 2024, Artemis Pest Services installed protective mesh on more than 50 solar panel arrays, including both commercial and residential properties. This achievement translates to securing approximately 400 individual panels and using an impressive 1 km of our specifically designed solar mesh.

Visit our Solar Panel Page to request a quote for securing your solar array.
