Why Is Bed Bug Treatment Important?
While bed bugs don’t transmit disease or extensively damage property, they can still make life unbearable. Most bites simply manifest as itchy welts. However, some people suffer severe allergic reactions, potentially leading to dangerous anaphylaxis.
Secondary skin infections are also common outcomes, including lymphangitis, impetigo, and ecthyma. The bugs’ nighttime attacks lead to perpetual exhaustion. Mental health frequently suffers too, with victims reporting anxiety, insomnia, and stress.
Plus, bed bugs easily spread between neighboring homes through walls or ventilation systems. By promptly calling affordable bed bug removal experts, you protect both your family’s health and that of the broader community. Don’t delay treatment.
In Australia, two types of bed bug species exist:
- Cimex lectularius- Common bed bug
- Cimex hemipterus- Tropical bed bug
The tropical one is more common here.
Signs Of Bed Bug Infestation
Bed bugs are sneaky pests that can hide undetected for months while multiplying. Since most bites are initially painless, many people miss the early warning signs. Be on the lookout for these common indicators:
- Blood smears on sheets
- Rusty spots on mattresses from crushed bed bugs
- Tiny white eggs and elongated rice-like egg casings
- Dark or reddish fecal blotches
- Molted exoskeletons from growing nymphs
- An offensive, musty scent
Finding any of these traces in bedding, furniture crevices, or baseboards means they may be secretly infesting. Inspect carefully or enlist our professional assistance. Catching problems early vastly simplifies eradication.
Our Treatment Process
Property Inspection
First, our expert will come to check your whole house for bed bugs. They will look in the bedrooms, couches, cracks in walls, and other spots they like to hide. This helps them make a plan to get rid of the bugs.
Custom Plan
After the inspection, our bed bug control expert will tell you how bad the problem is. Then they put together a plan for treatment. This says what ways and products will be used to kill bed bugs. It also says when we will come treat your home.
Treatment Steps
When we come to treat your home, we use special sprays and powders that are safe for your family and pets. Sometimes heating tools are used to kill bugs hiding in fixtures. Treatment happens 1-2 times over a few weeks. This makes sure we kill bugs at all stages.
Prevention
We want to make sure no new bed bugs ever come back! After treatment, we will give you tips to help stop future infestation. Here are some things you can do:
- Wash all bed sheets and blankets once a week in hot water. Then put them in the dryer on the highest setting. This kills bugs and eggs that may be hiding.
- Check mattresses, bed frames, couches, and other furniture for indicators of bugs each month. Look for tiny white eggs, molted shells, and dark droppings. Catching bugs early makes them easier to get rid of.
- Use special bed bug cover shields on mattress seams and box springs. This keeps any bugs from getting in or out.
- Reduce clutter like stacks of paper, fabrics, stuffed animals, etc. Clutter gives them more places to hide.
- Use a vacuum with a hose attachment to suck up bugs from cracks and crevices. Right after, throw away the vacuum bag outside so bugs don’t escape.
- Steam clean carpets and rugs to penetrate deep down where they may be lurking.

FAQs
How much does bed bug treatment service cost?
Cost varies based on size of home and extent of infestation. Average is $500-$1,500. A free inspection provides exact pricing. Guaranteed elimination of bed bugs makes this worthwhile.
Do bed bug sniffing dogs actually work?
Yes! Specially trained dogs can pinpoint bed bugs using their powerful sense of smell. Allows pest technicians to quickly find all hiding spots.
Can bed bugs live in cars or purses?
They can live anywhere people sleep or sit. Cars, buses, trains, planes and purses are prime targets. We advise careful inspection of all your items.

Hot is more reliable for whole structure fumigation. Cold, like freezing infested items, works well for household objects but areas rewarm fast. Combination is best.
