Bed bugs travel in luggage, second-hand furniture and bags, which makes them a common problem in holiday units, rentals and busy households on the Sunshine Coast. They hide in mattress seams, bed frames, bedside tables, skirting boards and power points, and come out at night to feed. Small blood spots on sheets, dark dots along seams and a sweet, musty smell are common signs.
When you call, tell us which rooms are affected, what furniture is in them and how long you have noticed signs. Tell us if you have seen live bugs or only signs. We give you upfront pricing and book an independent crew that works near you. The crew we book inspects the bedrooms and nearby rooms, then treats the hiding spots in the bed, furniture and room.
- Mattress seams, piping and bases
- Bed frames, bedheads and slats
- Bedside tables, drawers and couches
- Skirting boards, cracks and power point covers

Before the visit, wash bedding and clothes from the room in hot water and dry them on a hot setting. Bag items you cannot wash and keep them out of the room. Do not move furniture into other rooms, as that spreads the bugs. Bed bugs usually need two or more visits to break the life cycle, and the crew will explain the plan and the cost before booking any return visit. For bites, ask a doctor.
Short stay lets and unit blocks across the Sunshine Coast see a lot of travellers, so early action helps stop bed bugs moving between units. Call 07 3543 7771 to get a price and book a visit.
