Say goodbye to bed bugs in your house with our proven pest control solutions — heat and chemical combination for complete elimination.
Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are nocturnal parasites that feed on human blood while you sleep. They're expert hiders — found in mattress seams, bed frames, behind headboards, in skirting boards, and even inside electrical outlets. A female can lay 1–5 eggs per day, making rapid elimination critical.
They spread rapidly through shared accommodation, hotels, and public transport — often arriving as stowaways in luggage, second-hand furniture, or clothing. Melbourne's dense apartment living makes bed bug spread particularly common.
Bed bugs are notoriously resistant to standard pesticides, which is why professional-grade heat and chemical combination treatments are required for reliable elimination.
Red, itchy bites — often in a line or cluster pattern on exposed skin. Bites typically appear on arms, legs, neck, and face.
Small rust-coloured or reddish spots on your sheets and pillowcases from crushed bed bugs or feeding activity.
Tiny dark spots (bed bug excrement) on mattress seams, around the bed frame, and on nearby walls or skirting boards.
Pale, translucent exoskeletons shed as bed bugs grow through their life stages — found in mattress crevices and along seams.
A sweet, musty odour from the pheromones of a significant infestation — similar to overripe raspberries or almonds.
Adult bed bugs are 4–5mm, oval, reddish-brown, and flat. Look in mattress seams, behind headboards, and in furniture joints.
Thorough inspection of mattress seams, bed frame, headboard, furniture, and electrical outlets to map the infestation.
Targeted heat applied to affected areas — bed bugs cannot survive temperatures above 50°C, killing all life stages including eggs.
Professional-grade residual spray applied to all harbourage areas — kills survivors and provides ongoing protection.
A follow-up inspection 2 weeks after treatment to confirm complete elimination and treat any residual activity.
