Protecting your property from bed bugs
Bed bugs hitchhike on luggage and second-hand furniture and hide in seams and cracks. They can spread quickly and are difficult to eliminate with DIY alone. Heat treatment kills all life stages in one go; targeted chemical treatment can also be used where appropriate.
We advise on preparation (what to remove or protect), treatment choice (heat vs targeted), and follow-up (mattress encasement, monitoring) so the infestation does not return.

Bed bug treatment for Cape Town homes and accommodation
Verminator helps Cape Town households, lodges, guest houses, and landlords with bed bug treatment. We offer heat treatment (whole-room) and targeted chemical treatment and advise on preparation and follow-up so the infestation is fully resolved.
Homes
Bed bugs can enter via luggage, second-hand furniture, or from adjacent properties. We offer heat treatment (whole-room) or targeted chemical treatment so you can sleep soundly again.
Lodges and guest houses
Guest turnover and luggage increase bed bug risk. We provide discreet, effective treatment and advise on inspection and prevention so guests are protected.
Apartments and complexes
Bed bugs can move between units through walls or shared spaces. We treat the affected unit and advise on containment and follow-up to prevent spread.
Rental properties
Tenant moves and second-hand furniture can introduce bed bugs. We treat between tenancies and help landlords maintain a bed-bug-free property.
After travel
Luggage and clothing can bring bed bugs home. If you see bites or signs after a trip, act quickly; we offer heat treatment and targeted treatment to clear the infestation.
Persistent infestations
When DIY or partial treatment has not worked, heat treatment reaches all life stages in the room. We advise on preparation and follow-up for lasting control.
Why bed bug problems occur in Cape Town
Cape Town’s tourism, rental market, and second-hand furniture trade mean bed bugs are a year-round risk. Travel and guest turnover introduce and spread infestations; multi-unit buildings can see spread between units. Heat treatment and targeted treatment give reliable control so homes and accommodation stay bed-bug-free.
We advise on inspection, preparation, and mattress encasement so treatment is effective and reinfestation is minimised.
Our approach to bed bug treatment in Cape Town
We assess the extent of the infestation and the property type. For many situations we recommend heat treatment: we heat the room to a temperature that kills bed bugs and eggs in one go, with no chemical residue and no odour. We will explain preparation (what to remove or protect) and re-entry. Where heat is not suitable, we offer targeted chemical treatment with clear re-entry guidance.
The aim is to eliminate the infestation in one treatment where possible, with follow-up if needed. We also advise on mattress encasement and monitoring to prevent reinfestation.
Why DIY bed bug treatment often fails
Bed bugs hide in seams, cracks, and clutter; sprays and DIY methods often miss eggs and harbourage. Incomplete treatment leads to recurring bites and frustration. Heat treatment reaches the whole room and kills all life stages; professional targeted treatment is applied where bugs hide. That is why professional treatment is the most reliable way to clear an infestation.
