Bed bugs are one of the harder pests to shift, and they turn up in all kinds of homes in Brisbane, from inner-city apartments to family houses. They usually arrive in luggage, bags or second-hand furniture, then hide in mattress seams, bed frames and cracks near where people sleep. Small blood spots on sheets, dark specks along seams and itchy bites in a line are the signs most people notice.
Because bed bugs hide in tiny gaps and their eggs are hard to reach, bed bug control is usually done over two visits, a couple of weeks apart. When you call, we ask how many rooms are affected, what furniture is in them and how long it has been going on. We give you the price for both visits upfront, so there are no surprises halfway through.
- A close look at mattresses, bed bases, headboards and side tables
- Treatment of cracks, joins, skirting boards and carpet edges
- Attention to couches, armchairs and other furniture people rest on
- A second visit to catch bugs that hatch after the first treatment
- Clear instructions for washing, bagging and getting rooms ready
Getting ready is a big part of the job. Before the crew arrives, wash all bedding, clothing and curtains from the affected rooms on a hot cycle and dry them on high heat, then seal them in bags. Clear the floor around beds, empty side table drawers and pull furniture a little away from the walls.
In apartment blocks and share houses in Brisbane, bed bugs can spread between rooms and neighbouring homes, and the crew will tell you if nearby units should be checked too. If bites are worrying you, see a doctor. To book bed bug control, call 07 3543 7771 and we will give you the price upfront.
