Bed bugs are tiny, thin, reddish-brown insects that hide close to where people sleep and come out at night to feed. They arrive in Caboolture homes in suitcases, second-hand furniture, removal boxes and on clothing, and they have nothing to do with how clean a house is. Signs include itchy bites in lines, small blood spots on sheets and dark specks along mattress seams and bed frames. We give you upfront pricing and book a local crew to treat the home.
The crew inspects each bedroom closely, pulling back mattress edges and checking seams, bed bases, headboards, bedside tables, skirting boards, curtain folds and power points. Couches and recliners in living areas are checked too. They treat every hiding spot they find. Because eggs can survive the first visit, a second treatment about two weeks later is normally needed, and we quote for both visits up front.
- Close inspection of beds and bedroom furniture
- Couches and recliners checked and treated
- Seams, joints, cracks and power points
- A second visit for newly hatched bugs
- Clear steps for linen and clothing
Before the visit, wash bedding and clothes from the affected rooms on the hottest setting the fabric allows, tumble dry on high, and seal everything in bags until after the treatment. Vacuum the room and clear the floor under the bed. Do not move beds or couches to other rooms or throw them on the kerb, as this spreads bed bugs further. If you are worried about bites, see a doctor.
