❓ Frequently Asked Questions
QHow much does bed bug treatment cost in Melbourne?
Bed bug treatment in Melbourne ranges from $349 to $800 depending on the severity of the infestation and the number of rooms affected. Bed bugs typically require 2-3 treatment visits spaced 2 weeks apart to ensure all eggs and newly hatched bugs are eliminated. We provide an all-inclusive quote covering all required visits.
QHow do I know if I have bed bugs?
Signs of bed bugs include: itchy bite marks in lines or clusters on exposed skin (arms, shoulders, neck), small blood spots on sheets, dark faecal stains (tiny black dots) on mattress seams and bed frames, a sweet musty odour in the bedroom, and tiny white eggs or translucent shed skins in mattress seams and furniture joints.
QCan I get rid of bed bugs myself?
Bed bugs are extremely difficult to eliminate without professional treatment. They hide in mattress seams, behind skirting boards, inside power points, and in furniture joints — areas retail sprays cannot reach effectively. Their eggs are resistant to many insecticides. Professional treatment with residual chemicals and steam/heat is required for complete elimination.
QWhere do bed bugs come from?
Bed bugs are hitchhikers. They travel on luggage from hotels, on second-hand furniture, in moving boxes, and on clothing from infested environments. They do not indicate poor hygiene — they are found in all types of accommodation from backpacker hostels to 5-star hotels.
Professional Bed Bug Treatment in Melbourne
Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are blood-feeding parasites that have made a significant comeback in Melbourne over the past decade. Increased international travel, second-hand furniture shopping, and high-density living have all contributed to a rise in bed bug infestations across Melbourne suburbs. Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to eliminate without professional treatment because they hide in tiny cracks and crevices during the day and only emerge at night to feed.
How Bed Bug Infestations Start
Bed bugs are expert hitchhikers. Common ways they enter Melbourne homes include:
- Travel: Luggage and clothing from hotels, hostels, and Airbnbs — even 5-star properties can have bed bugs
- Second-hand furniture: Used mattresses, bed frames, couches, and bedside tables are common carriers
- Neighbouring units: In apartments and townhouses, bed bugs travel through wall cavities, electrical conduits, and plumbing gaps between units
- Visitors: Guests' bags and clothing can introduce bed bugs to your home
Why DIY Bed Bug Treatment Fails
Bed bugs are one of the hardest pests to eliminate without professional help. Here's why:
- Expert hiders: They squeeze into mattress seams, behind skirting boards, inside power outlets, behind picture frames, and in furniture joints
- Resistant eggs: Bed bug eggs have a protective coating that is resistant to most over-the-counter insecticides
- Resistance: Many bed bug populations have developed resistance to common pyrethroid insecticides found in retail sprays
- Lifecycle: Eggs hatch every 7-10 days, so a single treatment is never enough. Multiple treatments are required to catch newly hatched nymphs
Our Bed Bug Treatment Protocol
Pest Eraze uses a multi-visit treatment protocol for guaranteed bed bug elimination:
- Detailed inspection: We inspect all mattresses, bed frames, headboards, bedside furniture, couches, skirting boards, and carpet edges using torches and magnification
- Chemical treatment: Professional-grade residual insecticides are applied to all harbourage points. We use products that bed bugs cannot detect or repel
- Steam treatment: High-temperature steam (over 60°C) is applied to mattress seams, furniture joints, and carpet edges — killing bugs and eggs on contact
- Mattress encasements: We recommend encasing mattresses and pillows to trap any remaining bugs and prevent re-infestation
- Follow-up visits: We return at 2-week intervals to treat newly hatched nymphs until the infestation is completely eliminated
