Bed bugs are one of the hardest pests to deal with alone, and the calls we get from Brisbane often come from people who have already tried sprays and bombs from the shops. These small, reddish-brown insects hide in mattress seams, bed frames, headboards, bedside drawers, skirting boards and even picture frames. They feed at night and hide by day.
When you call, tell us how many bedrooms are affected, what signs you have seen and whether you live in a house or a unit. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book inspects each room, starting with the beds, and then treats every place bed bugs are likely to hide.
- A close check of mattresses, bases, headboards and bedside tables
- Treatment of seams, joints, cracks and skirting boards
- Attention to couches and chairs where people rest
- A second visit to deal with any bugs that hatch after the first
- A written list of what to wash, bag and move before each visit
Getting the room ready is a big part of the job. Strip the beds and wash all linen and clothing from affected rooms on a hot wash, then tumble dry on high heat. Store clean items in sealed bags until the treatment is over. Clear the floor and under the beds, and do not move furniture from room to room, as that spreads the bugs.
In unit blocks, bed bugs can travel between apartments, so tell your building manager if you find them. Avoid second-hand mattresses and check your luggage after travel. The crew will explain the timing between visits and what to watch for. To book bed bug control in Brisbane, call 07 3543 7767 and we will arrange a local team.
