Bed bugs are small, oval, reddish-brown insects that hide close to where people sleep. They travel in luggage, second-hand furniture and bags, which is why they sometimes turn up in busy holiday areas like Noosa. Signs include small dark spots on mattress seams, shed skins, tiny blood marks on sheets and a musty smell in heavy cases. We take your call, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew.
Bed bugs hide in the seams and tufts of mattresses, bed frames, bedheads, bedside tables, skirting boards, power points and behind picture frames. Because they can go weeks without feeding, they are hard to clear with store-bought sprays, and moving furniture or sleeping in another room can spread them further through the home. Units and short stay homes with many guests passing through can see bed bugs spread between rooms if the problem is left alone.
The crew inspects the bedrooms and nearby rooms, then treats the mattress seams, bed frames, furniture joints, skirting boards and other hiding spots. More than one visit is often needed, because eggs can hatch after the first treatment. The crew will explain the plan and how many visits are likely for your home before starting, so you can plan around it.
- Strip beds and wash linen in hot water, then dry on high heat
- Clear clutter from around and under the bed
- Vacuum the mattress seams and bed frame, then empty the vacuum outside
- Keep clothing in sealed bags until the treatment is done
- Avoid moving furniture between rooms before the visit
Short stay rental owners can arrange access through their manager, and we can book visits around guest changeovers. To book bed bug treatment in Noosa, call 07 3543 7772 and tell us which rooms are affected.
