Bed bugs are small, oval, reddish-brown insects that hide in mattress seams, bed frames, bedside tables and the edges of carpet. They often come home in luggage, second-hand furniture or bags after travel, and they spread from room to room if left alone. Signs include small dark spots on sheets, shed skins along mattress edges and itchy bites in a line after a night's sleep. Homes in Sunbury can pick them up the same way as anywhere else.
When you call, tell us which rooms are affected, how long you have noticed signs and whether you have travelled or brought in used furniture lately. We book a local crew and give you upfront pricing before the visit. The crew we book inspects the beds and surrounding furniture closely before any treatment starts.
- Close inspection of mattresses, bed frames, bedheads and bedside furniture
- Treatment of seams, joints, cracks and carpet edges where bed bugs hide
- Checks of nearby rooms and couches for spread
- Clear instructions on washing linen and bagging clothing before the visit
- Upfront pricing before booking
Bed bugs usually take more than one visit to clear, because eggs can hatch after the first treatment. The crew will explain the plan, the timing and what you need to do between visits. Each visit is priced upfront so you have the numbers before anything is booked in Sunbury. Checking luggage and second-hand furniture before bringing it inside helps stop them coming back.
If you have questions about bites, ask your doctor or the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26. To book bed bug treatment, call 03 7053 9827 with your address and what you have found, and we will line up a local team.
