Bed bugs are small, flattened, reddish-brown insects that hide in mattresses, bed frames and furniture and bite at night. They often arrive in luggage after travel or with second-hand furniture, and they spread easily between rooms. With plenty of shared and rental housing around Mitchelton, we get calls about them all year. Call us and we will give you upfront pricing for bed bug treatment.
The crew we book starts with an inspection. They check mattress seams, bed frames, bedside tables, skirting boards, power points and curtains for live bugs, eggs, shed skins and small dark spots. Once they see how far the bugs have spread, they treat every affected room with a mix of sprays and dusts suited to the furniture and fabrics.
- Strip the beds and wash all bedding, clothes and curtains on a hot cycle
- Dry them on high heat, then bag them until after the treatment
- Clear items away from beds and walls
- Do not move furniture to other rooms, as that can spread the bugs
- Tell us about any cots, pets or health concerns when you book
Bed bugs are harder to clear than most pests, because eggs can survive the first treatment. Most homes need a second visit about two weeks later to catch the newly hatched bugs. The crew will talk you through the plan, and any second visit is priced upfront. Keep sleeping in the same bed so the bugs come out and cross the treated areas.
