Bed bugs travel in luggage, second-hand furniture and clothing, then settle into mattress seams, bed frames, skirting boards and furniture near where someone sleeps. Around Booval, the first sign is often small dark marks on the sheets or itching that starts up after a trip away or a piece of furniture coming into the house.
The crew we book inspects the bed frame, mattress seams, skirting boards and nearby furniture to confirm activity and work out how far it has spread past the one room. Treatment goes into seams, joints and gaps where bed bugs hide through the day, since they are rarely out in the open while someone is home. Power points and picture frames near the bed are checked as well, since these small gaps can hold bed bugs unnoticed.
Because small numbers can survive one treatment, a return visit a couple of weeks later is usually part of the plan, along with advice on washing linen on a hot cycle and cutting down clutter around the bed where bugs can hide between visits. Bagging items from the affected room separately can help stop bed bugs spreading further through the Booval home.
