Bed Bugs Won’t Leave Without a Fight
Bed bugs hide in seams, crevices, and folds. They feed at night, bite in clusters, and leave behind itchy, red marks. Once they settle into a room, they spread quickly. Bugs Are Gone provides bed bug treatment services that kill live bugs, eliminate hidden eggs, and stop re-infestation across every room.
We target the nest, not just the bugs you can see.
Bed Bugs Thrive in Silence
Bed bugs don’t carry disease, but they disrupt sleep, trigger anxiety, and create hygiene concerns. A single untreated bed bug lays hundreds of eggs. These hatch in days and multiply the problem across floors, beds, couches, and even walls.
They don’t need food every night. They can survive for weeks without feeding. This makes them harder to detect and even harder to remove without professional-grade treatment.
Know the Signs Before the Infestation Grows
Most infestations start small. People often mistake early signs for skin allergies or mosquito bites. Common symptoms include:
- Bites in straight rows or clustered patches
- Blood spots on sheets, pillowcases, or mattress covers
- Musty odor in bedrooms or lounges
- Reddish-brown bugs in mattress seams or behind headboards
- Black specks (bed bug droppings) near seams, buttons, or corners
Bed bugs hide in mattress piping, baseboards, curtain folds, and furniture cracks. They crawl into power outlets and gaps in the floor.
Our Process Eliminates All Stages
We treat the entire environment. One missed egg restarts the problem. Our method covers every phase of the life cycle: adult, nymph, and egg.
Step 1: Property Inspection
We examine every room for bed bug presence, starting with bedrooms and lounge areas. We check:
- Mattress seams and bases
- Bed frames and slats
- Behind wall hangings and electrical covers
- Inside furniture joints
- Carpet edges and rug backing
- Upholstered chairs and lounges
We identify where the activity is concentrated and how far the infestation has spread.
Step 2: Direct Application
We apply a contact insecticide to all identified zones. The product kills live bed bugs and begins disrupting their reproduction cycle within hours.
The application is targeted, low-odor, and safe for indoor use. It dries without staining and does not damage fabric or timber.
Step 3: Residual Barrier
We apply a second spray that creates a dry barrier around sleeping areas, bed legs, and skirting boards. This protects against stragglers and newly hatched bugs.
The barrier remains active for several weeks and continues to kill on contact.
Step 4: Crack and Void Dusting
We place insecticidal dust in hard-to-reach zones. These include wall cavities, electrical outlets, bed head panels, and curtain rails. The dust reaches deep into hiding spaces and remains active long after the spray has dried.
Step 5: Monitoring and Follow-Up (If Needed)
In larger infestations, we recommend follow-up visits and ongoing monitoring. In multi-room properties, reinfestation is possible if adjacent rooms are untreated. We advise on cleaning, washing, and future prevention steps.
Preparation Checklist
Before your scheduled treatment, we may request the following:
- Strip all bedding, curtains, and removable fabrics for washing
- Clear floors under beds and furniture
- Empty drawers and cupboards
- Move furniture slightly away from walls
- Secure or remove any pets or aquariums
We’ll provide a short preparation guide to help you get ready. This improves the reach of the treatment and prevents delays during the visit.
Where We Apply Treatment
We treat every area bed bugs can access, not just the bed.
- Mattresses and bed frames
- Carpet edges and rugs
- Baseboards and trim
- Lounge chairs and sofas
- Luggage and stored bedding
- Cracks in floors or wall joints
- Curtain folds and fabric blinds
- Wall fixtures and headboards
Bed bugs don’t stay in one room. We check and treat all connected areas.
How Long It Takes
Most treatments take between 90 minutes and 2 hours. Full results may take 7 to 14 days, depending on the life cycle and property layout. Some infestations need follow-up to ensure full removal.
We provide a clear aftercare plan to support complete clearance.
Ideal for Homes, Rentals, and Guest Properties
We treat:
- Private homes and apartments
- Vacation rentals and Airbnb units
- Hotels and hostels
- Student housing and dormitories
- Staff accommodation
- Aged care rooms and shared facilities
If you’re vacating a rental, we offer clearance certificates required for bond release.
Store Sprays Don’t Work on Bed Bugs
Bed bugs resist most retail sprays. Overuse of low-grade insecticides often makes the infestation worse by scattering the colony. DIY treatments miss hidden eggs and fail to reach deep hiding places.
Professional treatment delivers the coverage and strength needed to shut down all life stages at once.
