Bed bugs travel in luggage, second-hand furniture and bags, which is why they turn up in holiday areas like Palm Beach more often than people expect. Signs include small dark spots on sheets and mattress seams, shed skins, live bugs in the folds of the mattress and, in bigger infestations, a musty smell in the bedroom.
Bed bugs are hard to shift with store-bought sprays because they hide deep in bed frames, mattress seams, bedside tables, skirting boards and power points, and their eggs are well protected. The crew we book starts with a close look at each bedroom and any couches where people sleep, to find where the bed bugs are living and how far they have spread.
- A room-by-room inspection of beds, frames, furniture and skirting
- Treatment of mattress seams, bed frames, bedheads and bedside furniture
- Treatment of skirting boards, carpet edges, power point covers and cracks
- Clear instructions for washing and bagging bedding and clothes
- A second visit booked to deal with eggs that hatch after the first
Preparation is a big part of the job. The crew will ask you to wash bedding and clothes from affected rooms in hot water and dry them on a hot setting, bag them until the treatment is done, and clear clutter from under the beds. Try not to move furniture or sleep in other rooms, as that can spread bed bugs further through the home.
When you call, tell us how many rooms are affected and whether it is a house, unit or short stay let. We give you upfront pricing for both visits on the phone. To book bed bug treatment in Palm Beach, call 07 3543 7772 and a local crew will be lined up.
