Bed bugs hide in mattress seams, bed frames, skirting boards and nearby furniture during the day and feed at night, which makes them easy to miss until bites or small dark spots on bedding give them away. In Melbourne, both houses and apartments can be affected, since bed bugs travel easily through luggage, secondhand furniture and shared walls, and numbers can build up quickly once they settle into a room.
Because bed bugs hide well and lay eggs in tight gaps, the crew we book checks mattress seams, bed frame joints, skirting boards and furniture near the bed before treating, rather than focusing on the mattress alone. A closer check of the room helps catch areas that are easy to miss, including behind headboards, inside power points and along carpet edges near the bed.
On the phone, describe where you have seen bites or signs of bed bugs and how long it has been going on, and we will give you an upfront price for Melbourne before booking a visit. If you have recently travelled, moved, or bought secondhand furniture, mention this too, since it often points to where the problem started. Shared laundries and communal storage areas in apartment buildings are also worth flagging, as bed bugs can move between units through these spaces more easily than through a solid wall.
