Why Bed Bug Control Should Not Wait
What it costs you to leave the problem alone.
Sleep and mental health
This is the real damage. People stop sleeping in their own bed, sleep with the light on, and get anxious about bringing them to work or to family. The effect on daily life is out of all proportion to the size of the insect.
Skin reactions and infection
Bites cause welts that itch for days. Scratching them open leads to secondary skin infections, and some people react severely enough to need treatment.
They spread through a building
Bed bugs travel in luggage, bags and clothing, and move between rooms and between units. Delay makes the treatment area bigger and the job more expensive.

How To Identify Bed Bugs
Bed bugs have nothing to do with how clean a house is. They arrive in luggage, second-hand furniture or a delivery, and they hide within a couple of metres of where someone sleeps.
- Adults are about 5mm, flat, oval and reddish brown, roughly the size and shape of an apple seed. After feeding they are swollen and darker.
- Eggs are white, about 1mm, and glued into seams and cracks in small groups.
- Look along mattress piping and seams, in the bed frame joints, behind the headboard, and in the screw holes of a bed base.
- Bites usually appear in a line or a small cluster on skin that was exposed while sleeping: arms, shoulders, neck and back.
Signs You Have A Problem
Spot any of these and it is worth getting the property looked at.
- Small dark spots on the sheets or mattress seams, which are digested blood and smear when wiped with a damp cloth.
- Tiny blood smears on the bedding in the morning.
- Shed skins, which are pale empty shells, along the mattress piping and in the bed frame joints.
- A sweet, musty smell in a badly infested room.
- Bites in a line or cluster that appear overnight and itch for days.

When They Are Worst In Melbourne
Bed bugs live indoors in heated buildings, so there is no season in Melbourne. What there is instead is a travel pattern: cases go up after school holidays, over summer, and around Christmas, when people are moving through hotels, hostels and other people's houses. Second-hand furniture is the other reliable source year-round.
Why DIY Usually Fails
Bed bugs are one of the hardest pests to clear without help. They hide in cracks a millimetre wide, they survive months without feeding, and populations in Australia have real resistance to common insecticides. Throwing out the mattress usually spreads them through the house on the way to the skip. Effective treatment means a full inspection of the room, treating every harbourage rather than the bed alone, and a follow-up visit timed to catch the eggs as they hatch.

How To Keep Them Away
Simple things you can do between visits to make your property a harder target.
Inspect hotel rooms before unpacking, especially mattress seams and headboards.
Vacuum mattress seams and bed frames regularly as prevention.
Never buy secondhand mattresses or upholstered furniture.
Use bed bug-proof mattress and pillow encasements as prevention.
Wash and dry bedding on high heat regularly.
Reduce clutter in bedrooms to eliminate hiding spots.
When traveling, keep luggage on stands away from beds and walls.
Inspect and heat-treat secondhand clothing before bringing home.
Did you know? Bed bugs can survive several months without feeding in cool environments, and a single female can lay 200-500 eggs in her lifetime. They can hide in cracks as thin as a credit card.
