Bed bugs do not come from a dirty home. They usually arrive in luggage after a holiday, in a second-hand bed or couch, or with visitors who have stayed somewhere affected. In Endeavour Hills, calls often come after an overseas trip or a furniture pick-up. The signs are small blood spots on sheets, dark marks along mattress seams and bed frames, and bites that appear in lines or small groups overnight.
Bed bugs hide in the seams and piping of mattresses, the joints of bed bases, headboards, bedside tables, skirting boards and even behind power points and picture frames. The crew we book inspects the bedroom and nearby rooms, finds where the bugs are hiding and treats those areas. Heavier cases can need more than one visit, as eggs can hatch after the first treatment, and the crew will talk through what to expect on the day.
- Mattresses, bed bases and headboards inspected closely
- Bedside furniture, skirting boards and cracks treated
- Couches and nearby rooms checked if they are in use
- Steps to prepare the bedroom before the visit
- Advice on luggage, laundry and second-hand furniture
Before the visit, wash bedding and clothes from the affected rooms in hot water, dry them on a hot setting and keep them sealed in bags. Do not move mattresses or furniture into other rooms, as this can spread the bugs. If you have been travelling or have bought second-hand furniture lately, mention it when you call. For questions about bites or skin reactions, talk to a doctor.
