Bed bugs are small, thin-bodied insects that shelter in mattress seams, bed frames, bedside tables and even behind power points. In Brisbane they often arrive in luggage after travel, in second-hand furniture or through shared walls in apartment blocks. They come out at night, so many people only notice them from small blood spots on sheets or dark marks along the mattress edge.
When you call, tell us how many rooms are affected and what you have seen. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book inspects each room closely before treating, because bed bugs are good at staying out of sight. They check sleeping areas first, then nearby furniture and cracks.
- Close inspection of mattresses, bed bases and headboards
- Treatment of seams, joints, skirting boards and cracks
- Attention to couches and chairs near sleeping areas
- A second visit to catch any bugs that hatch after the first
- A clear list of what to wash and bag before each visit
Getting ready makes a big difference. Wash bedding and clothes from affected rooms on a hot cycle, dry them on high heat and store them in sealed bags. Clear clutter from under beds and around the room so the crew can reach every corner. Try not to move items from room to room.
Bed bug work usually takes more than one visit, and the crew will explain the timing. If you live in a unit, tell your building manager too. Avoid bringing second-hand beds or couches home without checking the seams first. To book bed bug treatment in Brisbane, call 07 3543 7769 and we will arrange a local team.
