Important: Do not move mattresses, bedding or furniture to other rooms if you suspect bed bugs — this spreads the infestation to previously unaffected areas before treatment can begin. Seal any items you suspect are infested in plastic bags and leave them in place. Call us first and we will advise you on exactly what to do before our technician arrives.
Melbourne’s Most Trusted Bed Bug Control Specialists
We are a dedicated, APVMA-certified team with years of experience eliminating bed bug infestations from Melbourne homes, apartments, hotels, short-stay accommodation and share houses. Modern bed bugs have developed resistance to many common insecticides — we use professional-grade products specifically selected to break resistant strains and the full life cycle.
APVMA-Certified Technician · Serving all Melbourne suburbs
Thousands of bed bug treatments completed across Melbourne — apartments, hotels, and family homes. We know every hiding site bed bugs use and treat all of them in a single thorough visit.
Available 365 days a year. We understand the sensitivity of bed bug infestations — our technicians arrive without identifying livery where requested to maintain your privacy.
Every treatment uses government-approved products applied by licensed professionals. We carry full public liability insurance so your property is completely protected.
We use Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) to prevent nymphs from developing into breeding adults. This breaks the life cycle and stops the infestation from restarting two weeks later.
Free on-site inspection and a fully itemised quote before any work begins. No hidden fees or call-out charges. You decide after seeing the complete scope and cost.
Because the life cycle takes 10–14 days, we provide a structured follow-up plan. Our service guarantee covers you if activity returns within the designated warranty period.
What Melbourne Residents Are Saying
Found a massive hive under our eaves on a Sunday. Martin had a technician at our door within three hours. Professional, thorough and the hive was completely removed. Outstanding service — would not hesitate to call again.
Reasonable pricing, same-day response and the job was done properly first time. They inspected our full roof cavity, not just the visible nest. The technician explained every step clearly.
My daughter is allergic to stings so I was extremely worried. Martin came the same afternoon, treated the area with great care and gave us a full prevention report. I genuinely cannot recommend them highly enough.
A Single Bed Bug Can Lay Over 500 Eggs in Its Lifetime
Bed bug infestations spread faster than almost any other household pest. They hitch-hike between rooms on clothing, bags and bedding — and between apartments through wall cavities, plumbing penetrations and shared laundries. Melbourne’s growing short-stay accommodation sector has driven a sharp increase in bed bug cases across the city in recent years. The sooner treatment begins, the smaller the infestation remains.
Complete Pest Control for Melbourne
Complete bed bug life cycle treatment for bedrooms, living areas, luggage zones and common areas — mattresses, bed frames, headboards, skirting boards, furniture joints, electrical outlets and wall cavities. Residual insecticide combined with IGRs, written service report issued on the day.
How We Eliminate Bed Bugs — Step by Step
A thorough, life-cycle-complete approach that locates every hiding site and treats every life stage for lasting eradication.
Contact us 24/7. Describe what you've noticed. Do not move furniture or bedding to other rooms. We provide a checklist to maximize treatment effectiveness.
Our technician conducts a forensic inspection of mattress seams, frame joints, and skirting boards to confirm the full extent of the infestation.
We apply APVMA-approved residual insecticide with growth regulators to all harborages. Occupants must vacate for 3–4 hours post-treatment.
We provide a written report and aftercare checklist. A follow-up treatment is recommended 2–3 weeks later to eliminate newly hatched nymphs.
Bed Bugs Spread Between Rooms & Apartments While You Wait
Bed bugs do not stay in one place. Every night they are active, they spread — moving to adjacent bedrooms, living areas and, in apartment buildings, into neighbouring units through wall cavities and shared plumbing. Delaying treatment by even a week in a multi-room home or apartment block dramatically increases the scope and cost of elimination.
How to Prevent Bed Bug Infestations
Moving an infested mattress or piece of furniture to another room is the fastest way to turn a single-room issue into a whole-home problem. If you suspect bed bugs, leave everything in place and call us immediately.

Professional inspection of a mattress seam for bed bug prevention
Hotels and short-stay apartments are common pick-up points. Inspect luggage seams before bringing them inside. Leave luggage on hard flooring—like bathroom tiles—and wash all clothing at 60°C or above immediately.
Mattresses and sofas are high-risk items. Inspect any second-hand upholstered piece thoroughly under strong light—checking joints and crevices—before bringing it into your Melbourne home.
Bed bug-proof encasements seal the most common harbourage sites. They trap existing bed bugs and prevent new ones from establishing. This is essential for rentals and high-turnover properties.
Early signs include small blood stains on sheets, dark faecal spots on seams, and bites in clusters. Acting at the first sign keeps the infestation contained; waiting usually leads to a multi-room problem.
