Not every itchy bite comes from bed bugs. Skin reactions, heat rash and other insects can leave marks that look much the same, so a bed bug inspection is a good first step when you are unsure. We book inspections across Bulimba with an independent crew who looks for the real signs before any treatment is planned.
The crew we book checks mattress seams and piping, the underside of the base, the bed frame joints, headboard, bedside drawers, curtains, skirting boards and power points. They look for live bugs, pale shed skins, tiny white eggs and the dark spots bed bugs leave behind. In units they pay close attention to shared walls, since bugs can come through from next door. In older timber homes they look along the floorboards and the gaps behind skirting.
- Mattress, base and bed frame checks
- Headboards, bedside tables and drawers
- Couches, armchairs and cushions
- Skirting boards, power points and picture rails
- A clear plan and price if treatment is needed
At the end of the visit the crew tells you what they found, which rooms are affected and what a treatment plan would look like. If they find no signs, they may point out other likely causes of the bites so you can look into them. You then decide whether to go ahead, with the price in front of you before any treatment starts. Inspections are also handy before you move into a rental, after a long trip or when a neighbour in your block has had bed bugs. The crew can set a few monitoring cups while they are there, so you have an early warning if anything turns up later.
