Bed bugs turn up in clean homes as often as untidy ones. They hitch a ride in suitcases, handbags, second-hand furniture and shared laundry, which is why holidays, guests and new furniture are common starting points for households in Buderim. They hide in the seams of mattresses and the joints of bed frames during the day and come out at night.
When you call, tell us which beds and rooms are affected, whether you have seen live bugs and what signs you have noticed, such as small dark spots or shed skins. We give you upfront pricing and book an independent crew that works near you. The crew we book inspects the bedroom and the rooms around it, then treats every hiding spot they find.
- Mattress seams, labels and piping
- Bed bases, frames, bedheads and slats
- Bedside tables, drawers and wardrobes
- Couches and chairs used for sleeping
- Skirting boards, cracks and power point covers
Before the visit, wash all bedding and clothes from affected rooms in hot water and put them through a hot dryer. Seal clean items in plastic bags. Leave the beds where they are, as moving furniture between rooms can spread bed bugs. Treatment usually needs at least two visits a couple of weeks apart to catch bugs that hatch after the first. The crew will explain the plan and cost upfront. For bites, ask a doctor.
