Bed bugs turn up in Sunshine Coast homes after travel, second-hand furniture or contact with an infested building, and tend to hide in mattress seams, bed frames and skirting boards near the bed. Small dark spots on sheets or bites in a line are common early signs. Bed bugs can travel between rooms in shared walls or through items moved from one space to another, so nearby rooms are sometimes checked as well.
The crew will inspect the bed frame, mattress seams, headboard and nearby skirting boards before treating these areas directly, since bed bugs rarely spread far from where people sleep in the early stages. Soft furnishings and cracks in furniture near the bed are also checked as part of the visit. Drawers, bedside tables and any clutter stored under the bed are checked too, since these spots offer bed bugs plenty of dark, undisturbed places to shelter.

- Treatment focused on the bed and nearby skirting boards
- Check of soft furnishings and furniture cracks near the bed
- Advice on washing bedding on a hot cycle beforehand
- A second visit recommended a few weeks later
A second visit is often recommended a few weeks after the first treatment to check for any remaining activity, since eggs can hatch after the initial visit. Book your Sunshine Coast address on 07 3543 7765 and the crew will explain the steps involved before starting work.
