Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Where Burwood Heights sits, who covers it and what it costs.
We treat bed bugs right across 2136. Burwood Heights is roughly 9.9 km west of the city, which puts it well inside the Inner West run our technicians work. Our technicians are through Burwood Heights most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
The Burwood Heights addresses we attend cluster around Croydon station and Burwood station. Henley Park is another part of the suburb we are called to often.
Under Inner West, Burwood, Strathfield and Canada Bay, we cover Burwood Heights and Croydon Park, Croydon and Burwood alike. Most of the housing here shares a wall, a roof void or a sub-floor with something else, so we check what adjoins the property rather than treating it in isolation.
Burwood Heights jobs tend to be apartments and converted blocks where the kitchen backs onto a service riser. Let us know which when you ring and we will plan the visit around it.
Our Burwood Heights runs also take in Keith Smith Park and the area near Westfield Burwood, so the whole postcode is served.
Targeted application to harbourage - frame joints, slats, skirting, bed head - combined with steam where product cannot reach. Fogging a Burwood Heights room does almost nothing because it never reaches where they are.
Expect two to three weeks end to end. The gap between visits is deliberate - it is timed to the hatch, not to our schedule.
The one-metre rule is a good guide: bedside tables, a chair beside the bed, the carpet edge. Beyond that is less common but not impossible in a heavy Burwood Heights infestation.
Each stage hides in the same places but reacts to treatment differently. That is what shapes the program.
| Stage | What it looks like | How it behaves | What it means for treatment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Egg | Pearly and about 1 mm long, fixed into cracks and seams | Cannot move or feed, shielded by the shell | The resistant stage, which is exactly why there is a second visit |
| Young nymph | Very small and pale cream, going reddish once it has fed | Requires a blood meal before every moult, across several nymph stages | It has to cross treated surfaces to reach you - that is the residual doing its job |
| Older nymph | Darker and larger, frequently mistaken for an adult | Shares the adults' cracks near the bed | Inspecting frame seams, joints and screw holes is how it is found |
| Adult | Rusty brown, flat and oval, reaching about 6 mm | Feeds every few days to a week, and can go months without one | An unoccupied room cannot be assumed clear - waiting it out does not work |
Healthdirect notes that bed bugs feed every 5 to 10 days but can survive for months without feeding, and that eggs are around 1 mm long.
Use a torch and a card edge. Look before you move anything, so bugs are not spread to other rooms.
Pull the corners up and work along every seam, label and length of piping, looking for live insects, pale eggs and shed skins.
Clusters of small brown-black spots that smear like ink are bed bug droppings. Tiny blood spots on sheets are another sign.
Frame joints, screw holes and the headboard's back face, with slatted and upholstered bases needing the closest look.
Bedside drawers, skirting, curtain folds, power point surrounds and picture frames close to the bed all need checking.
Healthdirect records that around 1 in 5 people have no reaction, and that reactions may take up to 9 days. Confirmation comes from the insect, not the bites.
Suitcase and backpack seams, and second-hand beds or couches brought in recently, account for most introductions.

Notify the agent or landlord in writing as soon as you find them. Moving furniture out or putting a mattress on the street spreads the infestation. Who pays generally depends on the source, so take advice from the agent or NSW Fair Trading - our blog covers who pays in rentals and Airbnbs.
Act early. Because they move through cavities and corridors, a delay turns one unit into several. We will coordinate with the tenant and give you a written report.
They come in with guests' bags. Checking mattress seams and headboards between stays catches it, and the listing stays blocked until follow-up is complete.
The laundry is the place to unpack, not the bedroom. Wash and dry hot, and check the suitcase seams before the case goes under a bed.
Two visits, one plan: treat what is there now, then what hatches.
We go through bed, furniture and room with a torch - confirming it is bed bugs and mapping the spread, including into neighbouring rooms.
Written preparation instructions for laundry, clutter and belongings, so the treatment gets to the harbourage rather than past it.
Mattress seams, bases, headboards and soft furniture all get treated, with heat and products suited to each.
Targeted residual into the skirting boards, carpet edges, power point surrounds, bedside furniture and curtain rails.
The return visit is timed to the hatch, so nymphs emerging from eggs that survived are treated too.
A written summary, recommendations on encasements and monitoring, and what to do should activity show up again.
Good preparation is the difference between one follow-up and several. Your technician may add specific instructions.
| Approach | Strengths | Limitations |
|---|---|---|
| Hot wash and dryer | Above 45 degrees they die within the hour, and at 60 degrees or more immediately - Healthdirect's figures | Limited to washable items; no effect on the bed frame or the rest of the room |
| Professional heat | Kills all stages it reaches including eggs, no residue on the mattress | Provides no continuing protection if they return from elsewhere |
| Professional residual treatment | Stays effective in the cracks while nymphs hatch out and move about | Depends on careful placement, and a return visit is part of it |
| Supermarket sprays and bombs | Work on bugs sprayed at directly | Miss concealed bugs and eggs entirely, and spread them to other rooms |
| Mattress encasements | Trap what is inside and make the mattress easy to check | An aid to treatment, not a substitute for it |
More detail in our guide to heat vs chemical bed bug treatment.
Do not move to the couch. Sleeping in the treated bed is what pulls survivors and new nymphs across treated surfaces - an empty room just delays things.
Keep clean washing in sealed bags and take out what you need. Nothing goes back into drawers until the follow-up is done.
Expect the odd bite in the first two weeks as eggs hatch. Keep a note of dates and where they are, which tells us how it is going.

We write what we find and when, without taking sides. That document is usually what settles a landlord-tenant disagreement.
Where walls are shared we will tell you honestly if the neighbouring unit needs doing too, even though that is a conversation nobody enjoys.
Hospital stays, student accommodation and shared transport all feature. It is movement of people, not conditions in the house.
We find the insect first, because many rashes and bites are not bed bugs.
A follow-up for the egg hatch is built into the job rather than sold separately.
Discreet attendance for rentals, short-stay listings and accommodation operators.
Prep plan, fixed price and warranty terms, all confirmed in writing before we start.

The housing stock is old and joined together. A shared wall cavity or a continuous sub-floor lets bed bugs travel from one property to the next, which is why your neighbour matters.

Usually not. Most of the work is done with you in the house, and where a room does need to be clear it is for a short period we will tell you about on arrival.
