Bed bugs are small, brown insects about the size of an apple seed. They hitch rides in suitcases, backpacks, second-hand mattresses and furniture, so they can turn up anywhere, including busy rental streets and holiday units around Kawana. Common signs are small dark spots along mattress seams, shed skins, tiny blood marks on sheets and, in bigger cases, a sweet, musty smell. We take your call, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew.
Bed bugs hide close to where people sleep or sit for long periods. Mattress seams and tufts, bed bases, bedheads, bedside tables, couch joints, skirting boards and power points are all common hiding places. They can survive for weeks without feeding, which is why supermarket sprays rarely clear them and often just push them into other rooms.
The crew inspects the affected rooms and those next to them, then treats mattresses, bed frames, furniture joints, skirting boards and cracks where bed bugs shelter. Because eggs can hatch after the first visit, more than one treatment is usually part of the plan. The crew will explain how many visits are likely and what you need to do in between, so you can plan around the visits.
- Wash all bedding and clothing from the room in hot water and dry on high heat
- Bag clean items and keep them sealed until treatment is done
- Vacuum mattress seams and bed bases, then empty the vacuum outside
- Keep furniture in place rather than moving it to other rooms
