Bed bugs often come home in luggage, second-hand furniture or bags after a trip. They hide in mattress seams, bed frames, bedside tables, skirting boards and behind picture frames, coming out at night to feed. Signs include small blood spots on sheets, dark specks along mattress seams and tiny pale shells left behind as they grow. They turn up in homes of every kind around Collingwood Park, from family houses to rental units.
When you call, we ask how many rooms are affected and how long you have noticed signs. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book inspects each bedroom closely and then treats the places bed bugs hide. Bed bugs are hard to shift, so most jobs need more than one treatment spaced a couple of weeks apart. We explain this on the phone and price it upfront.
To get the room ready:
- Strip the beds and wash all bedding and clothing in hot water, then dry on a hot setting
- Bag clean items and keep them out of the bedroom until the treatment is done
- Clear clutter from under beds and around bedside tables
- Pull beds a little away from the wall
- Do not move furniture or mattresses to other rooms
Moving things around can spread bed bugs through the house, so it is better to leave the room as it is until the crew arrives. Keep sleeping in the same bed if you can, because the bugs will go looking for you in other rooms if you move. If bites are bothering you, ask a doctor.
