Bed bug treatment

Bed bugs are the infestation people are most afraid to talk about, and the one where speed matters most. They do not indicate an unclean home — they travel on luggage, furniture and shared walls. Treated properly and early, this is a solvable problem.

How to know that’s what you have

  • Bites in a line or cluster, usually noticed in the morning
  • Small rust or ink-coloured spots on sheets, mattress seams and the box spring
  • Tiny pale shed skins along the mattress piping or headboard joints
  • Live insects, roughly apple-seed sized, in seams, screw holes and the frame

What we actually do

  1. 01

    Confirm before we treat

    We inspect the mattress, box spring, frame, headboard and the furniture within about five feet of the bed. Bites alone are not a diagnosis — several things bite, and treating for the wrong one wastes weeks.

  2. 02

    Treat the harbourage, not the room

    Directed treatment of seams, voids, frame joints and baseboard channels, plus a residual barrier on the routes between the harbourage and the bed.

  3. 03

    Prepare the space with you

    We give you a written preparation list before the visit — laundering, bagging and what not to move. Moving infested items to another room is the most common way this spreads.

  4. 04

    Return on the hatch cycle

    Eggs survive most first treatments. A follow-up visit timed to the hatch is not an upsell, it is how the job is finished.

How we actually treat a bedroom

Directed application straight into the mattress seam, where bed bugs harbour — not a spray of the room.

How long it takes

Expect two visits about two weeks apart for a typical bedroom, and a third for heavy or multi-room infestations. We ask you to keep sleeping in the treated room — moving to the couch spreads the problem through the apartment.

Questions about bed bugs

Do I have to throw out my mattress?
Usually not. A mattress can normally be treated and encased. We will tell you honestly if something is beyond saving rather than defaulting to disposal.
Should I move to another room until it's over?
No — this is the single most common mistake. Bed bugs follow the carbon dioxide you exhale, so moving rooms usually just starts a second infestation. Keep sleeping where you were and let the treatment work.
Will my neighbours know?
Our vehicles and our technicians do not announce what they are treating. In a building where the landlord has arranged the work we still keep unit-level details between us and the client.
