Leicester City Council runs its own pest control service (details). It treats rats, mice, cockroaches, wasps, fleas (council properties only). It doesn't treat ants, bees, foxes, pigeons, bats. Undated price table, read October 2026, VAT included: rats inside or outside free; mice £90 for two visits then £30 per extra visit; cockroaches the same; wasps £90 plus £30 per extra nest; fleas (council properties only) £90 for up to three bedrooms. Businesses and landlords: £90 per hour plus VAT and materials, one-off call-outs only.

Bed bugs travel in luggage, second-hand furniture and between neighbouring rooms, so student lets and HMOs see them often. Landlords and letting agents: we can liaise with tenants for access and provide a written record of every visit. We cover City Centre, Clarendon Park, Highfields, Stoneygate and the rest of LE1–LE5.

Local Knowledge: Bed Bug Treatment In Leicester

Leicester is a big student city. De Montfort University alone had 20,650 students enrolled at its Leicester campus in 2024/25, and the University of Leicester adds thousands more. Each September the city fills with suitcases, second-hand beds and sofas moving between halls and shared houses, which is how bed bugs travel. The NHS warns against bringing second-hand furniture or luggage indoors without checking it, and says bed bugs are hard to get rid of yourself because they hide well and may resist some insecticides.

Much of that student housing is privately rented. The council's selective licensing scheme requires a licence for every rented home, including small HMOs, in parts of Braunstone Park and Rowley Fields, Fosse, Westcotes, Stoneygate and Saffron. Bed bugs aren't on the list of pests the council's pest service treats, and its business call-out isn't available for privately owned HMOs, so landlords and tenants need a private technician.

We offer heat treatment, which raises rooms above 56°C and often clears a contained infestation in a single visit; residual insecticide over two or three visits spread across several weeks; or both together. In a shared house we inspect the rooms either side of the affected one, because bed bugs move along skirting boards and through gaps in walls.

More local detail (neighbourhoods, the council's pest service and charges, nearby towns) is on our pest control in Leicester page.

Bed Bug Treatment Leicester: FAQs

Tell your landlord or agent in writing straight away, and photograph any bugs, blood spots or dark marks on the mattress seams. Don't move your bedding or furniture into other rooms. The NHS suggests washing bedding at 60°C and tumble drying it on hot for at least 30 minutes while you wait for treatment.

Heat treatment above 56°C can clear a contained infestation in a single visit. Residual insecticide usually takes two to three visits over several weeks, because it has to catch bugs as they hatch.

It depends on the tenancy agreement and the cause. Landlords are usually responsible where an infestation was there before the tenancy or comes from a neighbouring property. We work for tenants, landlords and agents alike.

Usually only for a few hours during and after treatment. We'll tell you exactly how long, and what to bag up and wash beforehand.
