Bed bugs are small, brown, oval insects that hide in the seams of mattresses, the joints of bed frames and the gaps in nearby furniture. They come out at night to feed and leave itchy bites, often in a line or small cluster. In Tarragindi, they usually arrive after a holiday, a stay with visitors, or with second-hand furniture or a mattress picked up online.
Because bed bugs are good at hiding, the crew we book starts with a close inspection of beds, bedside tables, couches and the room around them to confirm what is there and how far it has spread. When you call, tell us which rooms are affected and what you have noticed. A bed bug visit usually covers:
- Mattress seams, piping and labels
- Bed bases, frames and headboards
- Bedside tables, drawers and wardrobes
- Couches, armchairs and cushions
- Skirting boards, power points and carpet edges
Try not to move bedding or furniture into other rooms before the visit, as that can spread bed bugs through the house. The crew will give you a list of steps to take, which usually includes washing sheets, clothes and soft toys on a hot cycle and running them through a hot dryer. Vacuuming around the bed and emptying the vacuum outside helps too. After travel, unpack suitcases in the laundry and check seams before bringing them into bedrooms.
Bed bugs often need more than one visit, because eggs can hatch after the first treatment, and the crew will explain the plan. You get the price before any work starts. To book bed bug treatment in Tarragindi, call 07 3543 7771 and we will book a nearby crew.
