Think You Have Bed Bugs? Do This First

In Sydney, bed bugs usually come home from a trip, arrive with a new flatmate or travel in second-hand furniture. Before we arrive, a few steps stop them moving into other rooms.

Do not move to another room to sleep

Bed bugs follow people. Sleeping in a different room or on the couch usually spreads them to a new spot and makes the job bigger.

1
Strip the bed into a sealed bag
Bag the sheets and pillowcases where they are, then carry the bag straight to the washing machine.
2
Wash and dry on hot
A hot wash and a long hot dryer cycle kills bed bugs and eggs in fabric.
3
Keep the furniture where it is
Do not drag the mattress or couch outside or to another room before we treat it.
4
Photograph what you find
Bugs, shed skins or spots on the mattress seams help us confirm it is bed bugs.
5
Call 07 3544 9883
Tell us how many rooms and when the bites started. We book a visit quickly.

Sound Familiar? Why People Call About Bed Bugs

Bed bugs do not mean a dirty home. They travel in luggage, furniture and clothing, and these are the moments people usually find them.

"The bites started after we got back from holiday"

Bed bugs hitch a ride in suitcases from hotels, hostels and planes. Bites in the week after a trip are a classic sign.

"We bought a second-hand couch"

Used beds, lounges and bedside tables are one of the main ways bed bugs move from home to home.

"There are tiny blood spots on the sheets"

Small rust-coloured spots and black dots on sheets and mattress seams are bed bug droppings and crushed bugs.

"Only one person in the bed gets bitten"

People react very differently to bites. Some show nothing, so one partner being bitten does not rule bed bugs out.

"A guest complained about bites"

Short-stay hosts and hotels need rooms checked and treated quickly, with records of what was done.

"A new flatmate moved in"

Bed bugs often arrive with someone else's bed, bags or furniture and spread between bedrooms.

Bed Bug Signs and What They Mean

Bites alone are hard to read, because many insects bite and people react differently. These signs tell you far more.

Bed Bug Signs and What They Mean
Sign	What it usually means	How urgent
Live flat, brown, apple-seed sized bugs	Adult bed bugs are hiding close by	Book this week
Black dots along mattress seams	Bed bug droppings: they are feeding regularly	Book this week
Pale shed skins and tiny white eggs	Bed bugs are breeding in that spot	Book this week
Bites in a line or cluster each morning	Possibly bed bugs, possibly another biter	Inspect to confirm
Sweet, musty smell in the bedroom	A larger colony that has been there a while	Book as soon as you can
Signs in more than one room	They have spread through the home	Whole-home treatment needed

Bites around the ankles and lower legs, and pets scratching? That is more likely to be fleas. See our flea treatment page.

Why Sydney Sees So Many Bed Bug Calls

Sydney is Australia's busiest arrival point for travellers, and bed bugs travel with people.

Travellers and short stays

Hostels, hotels and short-stay rentals from the CBD to Bondi, Manly and Coogee see a steady turnover of luggage, and bed bugs move with it.

Apartment towers

High-density areas like Parramatta, Chatswood, Zetland and Wolli Creek put many homes behind shared walls, so one unit can affect several.

Humid summers

Warm, humid weather speeds up the bed bug life cycle, so a small problem in a Sydney home grows faster from November to March.

Why Bed Bugs Should Not Be Left or Treated DIY

Bed bugs rarely go away on their own. Each female lays hundreds of eggs, and store-bought sprays mostly push them deeper into the room.

Lost sleep

Night after night of bites and itching wears people down quickly, especially children.

Itchy, inflamed bites

Some people react strongly, and scratching can lead to broken skin. Ask your GP about bad reactions.

Spreading to other rooms

Sleeping elsewhere, moving furniture and bug bombs scatter bed bugs into new rooms and units.

Throwing out good furniture

Most mattresses and couches can be treated. Dumping them often spreads bugs to the next home.

How a Freshify Bed Bug Treatment Works

Bed bug eggs are hard to reach, so a single visit is rarely enough. Our plan treats the bugs you can find and comes back for the ones that hatch.

Places we check and treat

Mattress seams and labels, bed frames and slats, bedheads, bedside tables, couches, skirting boards, carpet edges, curtains, power points and picture frames.

1
Inspection
Every bedroom and living area is checked to find how far the bugs have spread.
2
Preparation list
You get a short list: what to wash, what to bag and what to leave in place.
3
Treatment
Beds, furniture and hiding spots are treated with products suited to each surface.
4
Follow-up visit
About two weeks later we treat again to catch bugs that have hatched since.
5
Check and advice
We confirm the result with you and explain how to stop them coming back from travel.

How Much Does Bed Bug Treatment Cost?

The cost depends on how far the bed bugs have spread and how much furniture needs treating:

Number of rooms. One bedroom is quicker than a whole unit or house.

Furniture. Couches, recliners and upholstered chairs add time.

Number of visits. Most homes need two; heavy infestations can need three.

Type of property. Hotels, share houses and strata blocks are priced per room or per unit.

You get the full price, including the follow-up visit, before any work starts. Call 07 3544 9883 or send us the details online for a faster estimate.

Bed Bug Treatment FAQs

Do you treat bed bugs in Sydney hostels and short-stay rentals?

Yes. We treat rooms between guests, work around bookings where we can and leave a written record of each visit for your records.

How fast can you treat bed bugs in Sydney?

Same day visits are often available across Sydney, and urgent jobs can often be reached in 60 minutes*. Our phones are answered 24/7.

How do I know if I have bed bugs?

Look for live bugs, black dots and shed skins along mattress seams, bed frames and the edges of couches. Bites in a line or cluster each morning are a common sign, but not proof on their own.

How many treatments do bed bugs need?

Most homes need two visits about two weeks apart. The second visit treats bugs that hatched from eggs after the first. Heavy infestations can need a third.

Do I need to throw out my mattress?

Usually not. Most mattresses, bed frames and couches can be treated. A mattress that is torn or falling apart may be better replaced, and we will tell you if so.

Can I stay at home during bed bug treatment?

You need to be out of the treated rooms while we work and until surfaces are dry, usually a few hours. Your technician will tell you exactly when you can go back in.

Do bug bombs work on bed bugs?

Rarely. The mist does not reach into seams and cracks where bed bugs hide, and it can drive them into walls and neighbouring rooms.

Where do bed bugs come from?

Bed bugs travel in luggage, clothing and second-hand furniture, and between units through shared walls. They can turn up in any home.

How do I stop bringing bed bugs home from travel?

Check the hotel bed seams before unpacking, keep your suitcase off the bed and floor, and wash and hot-dry your clothes as soon as you get home.

Do you treat hotels and short-stay rentals?

Yes. We treat rooms between guests, work around bookings where we can, and leave a record of each treatment.
