Bed bugs are small, thin, 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. If you are waking up with itchy bites in a line or finding small dark spots on the sheets in Moorooka, call us. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew to inspect and treat.
Bed bugs are good at hiding, so the crew we book will check mattress seams, bed bases, bedheads, bedside tables, skirting boards and power points near beds. Once they see how far the problem has spread, they treat the affected rooms and explain what you need to do with bedding, clothes and furniture. More than one visit is usually needed, as eggs can hatch after the first treatment.

- A plan for a second visit to catch newly hatched bugs
Units and share houses in Moorooka can have bed bugs spread between rooms or neighbours, so it helps to tell the building manager or housemates. Do not move mattresses or furniture to another room before the visit, as this can spread bed bugs further through the home.
Before the visit, wash bedding and clothes from affected rooms on a hot cycle, then dry them on high heat and seal them in bags. Clear clutter from under beds. To book bed bug treatment and get a price, call 07 3543 7768 and we will organise a local crew.
