Bed bugs travel in luggage, secondhand furniture and clothing, so they can turn up in any home no matter how tidy it is kept. Calls across North Brisbane often come in after a trip away, a piece of secondhand furniture arriving in the house, or small bites appearing after sleep that were not there before.
A bed bug visit focuses on mattress seams, bed frames, skirting boards near the bed and any nearby furniture such as bedside tables and lounge chairs, since bed bugs tend to hide close to where people sit or sleep rather than spreading evenly through a room. The crew checks these areas closely, since early stage activity is easy to miss without a proper look.
Homes in North Brisbane with a lot of soft furnishings close to the bed, or households that have recently had guests staying or furniture delivered secondhand, are more likely to see a problem start. Units and share houses can also see bed bugs move between rooms or apartments through shared walls or corridors. Checking a mattress and headboard closely after a trip away, before unpacking bags in the bedroom, is one of the simplest ways to catch a problem early.
- Mattress seams, bed frames and headboards
