Bed bugs are one of the harder pests to deal with on your own, since they hide in mattress seams, bed frames, skirting boards and even behind picture frames during the day and only come out to feed at night. In Albany Creek they usually turn up after travel, second-hand furniture or a shared wall with another affected property, and a few bites can quickly turn into a wider problem if the source is not treated properly. Small rust-coloured spots on sheets or pillowcases are another common sign, left behind after a bed bug has fed during the night.
When you call 07 3543 7771, we take down which rooms are affected and book a local crew to inspect and treat the property. The crew checks mattress seams, bed frames, skirting boards, power points and nearby furniture before treating the areas bed bugs are actually hiding in, since spraying the mattress alone does not usually deal with a problem that has spread into the surrounding room. Luggage, second-hand furniture and shared laundry facilities are also checked where relevant, since these are common ways bed bugs move between rooms or properties in the first place.
- Mattress seams, bed frames and headboards
- Skirting boards and power points near beds
- Soft furnishings, cushions and curtains
- Wardrobes, drawers and nearby furniture
- Carpets and flooring around the bed
Homes across Albany Creek in units and terraces with shared walls sometimes see bed bugs move between properties, so neighbouring units may need checking too. Call 07 3543 7771 to book a local crew as soon as you notice bites or small dark spots on bedding, since waiting tends to let the problem spread into more rooms.
