Bed bugs spread through luggage, secondhand furniture and shared walls, and a partial treatment can make an infestation harder to fully clear.
Bed bugs don't fly or jump — they spread by hitching a ride, most often in luggage after travel, in secondhand furniture, or through gaps and shared walls in units and apartment blocks. They can survive for months without feeding, which is part of why an infestation can go unnoticed for a while and then flare up all at once.
We carry out a thorough inspection of the sleeping area first, then treat with a combination of residual and contact product across mattresses, bed frames, skirting and nearby furniture. Multiple visits are often needed to fully break the life cycle.
Call 0429 777 008No — bed bugs have nothing to do with cleanliness. They travel through luggage, furniture and shared walls, and turn up in spotless homes and five-star hotels just as often as anywhere else.
Bed bug eggs are resistant to most treatments, so a second visit a couple of weeks later targets anything that's hatched since the first treatment. Trying to fully clear an infestation in a single visit is usually unrealistic.
