Not every itchy bite is a bed bug. Fleas, other insects and skin reactions can all look similar, and nobody wants to pay for a treatment they do not need. A bed bug inspection gives you a clear answer first. We book inspections in North Lakes with a nearby independent crew that checks homes for bed bugs as part of their regular work.
The crew we book starts in the bedrooms where bites are happening. They look along mattress seams and piping, under the mattress label, inside bed base corners, behind bedheads and in the joints of bed frames. They also check bedside drawers, skirting boards, power points near the bed and the edges of carpet. If someone often dozes on the lounge, that gets checked as well. A bright torch and a thin card or blade to lift seams are the main tools.
- Room by room check of beds, frames and bedside furniture
- Lounge, recliner and couch checks where people rest
- A look for eggs, shed skins, blood spots and live bugs
- A plain explanation of how far the bugs have spread
- Upfront pricing for treatment if bugs are found
If the crew finds bed bugs, they explain which rooms are involved and what the treatment would look like. You can go ahead then or take time to think about it. If they find no sign of bed bugs, they will point out anything else that might explain the bites, such as fleas on a pet.
An inspection is also useful after a holiday, before moving into a rental, or when a neighbour in your complex has reported bed bugs. It is a sensible step for any home in North Lakes where you are unsure. Call 07 3543 7769 to book an inspection with the local crew.
