Why bed bugs are a real problem in Melbourne
Bed bugs are hitchhikers - they ride home in luggage, on second-hand bed frames, in laundry from a hotel stay. Once in the room, they live in bed seams, in screw holes of bed frames, behind the headboard, and along the carpet edge nearest the bed. Bites usually appear in lines of three. They feed for ten minutes once a week and hide the rest of the time, which is why people don't catch them for months.
Why bed bugs keep coming back
DIY foggers do nothing - they kill exposed adults but the eggs stay safe in the seam. Most general pesticides don't kill bed bug eggs at all. Our protocol pairs heat (where appropriate) with a non-pyrethroid residual rated for bed bugs, plus a follow-up at 10-14 days to catch any newly-hatched nymphs before they breed.
Our bed bugs treatment process
- 01
Inspection & confirmation
We confirm bed bugs (rather than fleas, dust mites or mosquito bites) and map the harbourage room by room.
- 02
Preparation brief
We send you a preparation list - strip beds, bag soft items, run laundry on hot. This step is non-negotiable; treatments fail without it.
- 03
Heat or chemical treatment
Heat treatment (whole-room ramp to 55°C+) for severe or mattress-resident infestations; targeted residual chemical for room-perimeter and harbourage points in lighter cases.
- 04
Follow-up at 10-14 days
Catches newly-hatched nymphs from any eggs missed in the first pass - this is the visit that actually finishes the job.
Fast scope, clear treatment plan
- Single bedroom, light infestation, chemicalSame day* subject to availability
- Bedroom + adjacent roomSame day* subject to availability
- Whole-house heat treatmentSame day* subject to availability
No inspection fee for quoting. We assess the job properly, then tell you the next step clearly.
Real timelines
You'll see fewer bugs immediately. Real clearance comes after the follow-up at day 10-14. We re-inspect at day 21 - no bites, no live bugs, you're done.
Our guarantee
6-month re-treat warranty. Bed bug treatment is the most preparation-dependent service we offer; warranty requires the prep checklist completed.
DIY vs professional treatment
We're not going to pretend hardware-store products never work - they sometimes do. Here's the honest line.
When DIY works
Honestly, nothing reliably. Bed bug eggs survive most retail products and you'll spread infestation by moving furniture without a plan.
When to call us
Confirmed bed bugs always warrant a professional. Cost of treatment is far less than the cost of replacing a mattress, frame and carpet - which is what happens if you let it go.
Common Melbourne suburbs we treat for bed bugs
Inner-city share housing and student accommodation around Carlton, Brunswick and the CBD see the highest bed bug volume. Hotel-adjacent suburbs and Airbnb-heavy streets also recur.
Bed Bugs questions, answered
- Almost never. Modern bed bug protocols treat the mattress in place. We'll only recommend replacement if the mattress is structurally compromised or the infestation has been long-running and untreated.
