Bed bugs travel in luggage, second-hand furniture and clothing, then settle into mattress seams, bed frames, skirting boards and furniture close to where someone sleeps. In Goodna, the first sign is often small dark marks on sheets or itching that starts 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 beyond the one room. Treatment is placed into seams, joints and gaps where bed bugs hide during the day, since they are rarely out in the open when someone is home. Power points, picture frames and the join between skirting board and carpet are also checked, since these small gaps can hold bed bugs even in a room that otherwise looks clean.
Because bed bugs can survive a single treatment in small numbers, 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 reducing clutter around the bed where bugs can hide between visits. Bagging and washing items from the affected room separately can help stop bed bugs spreading to other parts of the Goodna home while treatment is working.
