Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
What we cover in Clovelly, and how quickly we can get there.
Clovelly is part of the Eastern Suburbs, 6.9 km or so south-east of the GPO, and 2031 is a postcode we know well. Our technicians are through Clovelly most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
A lot of our Clovelly jobs are in the streets around Burnie Park and Bronte-Coogee Aquatic Reserve, and we are out near Clovelly Beach regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
Clovelly is in the Waverley, Randwick and Woollahra area, and we cover Bronte, Coogee and Waverley on the same runs - handy if you own more than one property or your bed bug problem has come from next door. Being this close to the coast, sub-floors and ground-floor bathrooms stay damp most of the year, which is the condition that keeps activity going.
The bed bug calls we take from Clovelly are mostly ground-floor units with a damp sub-floor, and houses where the garage sits below the living level. If yours is one of them, mention it when you ring 1300 313 373 - it changes what the technician brings.
Wherever you are in 2031, you are inside the area our technicians cover.
Any Clovelly operator quoting a single visit for an established infestation is either very optimistic or not telling you the whole story.
Bed bugs are flat enough to sit in a screw hole. In a Clovelly bedroom that means the bed frame joints, the slats, behind the headboard, the skirting and anything within about a metre of where someone sleeps.
If a Clovelly property has already had two or three failed treatments, resistance is a likely part of the story - along with missed harbourage and no follow-up.
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 | Roughly 1 mm and pearly white, stuck fast in seams and cracks | Cannot move or feed, and the shell protects it | Harder to kill than anything mobile, so the second visit deals with what hatches |
| Young nymph | Small and cream-coloured, turning red after feeding | Takes a blood meal before each of several moults | Reaching you means crossing the treated surfaces, which is how the residual works |
| 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, oval, up to about 6 mm | A meal every few days to a week, with months of survival between | An empty room is not evidence of clearance; waiting 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.
Check the piping, the seams and the labels, corner by corner. That is where live bugs, eggs and shed skins collect.
Tiny brown-black spots in clusters, smearing on contact, are bed bug droppings - and small blood spots on sheets back it up.
Every joint and screw hole, plus the back of the headboard - and pay extra attention to slatted and upholstered bases.
Look at everything within a couple of metres of the bed - drawers, skirting, curtains, power points, picture frames.
About one person in five does not react, says Healthdirect, and a reaction can be up to 9 days coming. That is why we confirm by finding the bug.
Most infestations arrive in luggage or on second-hand furniture: check suitcase seams, backpacks, and any recent used bed or sofa.
A licensed Sydney technician will talk it through and give you a fixed quote within half an hour.
Get it in writing to the agent or landlord at once. Do not move furniture to another room or throw a mattress onto the footpath. Who covers the cost usually follows where it came from - your agent or NSW Fair Trading can advise, and our blog covers who pays in rentals and Airbnbs.
The sooner the better. Bed bugs cross between apartments via cavities and shared corridors, so early action avoids a building-wide job. We deal with the tenant and provide you a written report.
Guests bring them in without knowing. Inspect mattress seams and headboards at every changeover, and block the calendar until treatment and the follow-up visit are both complete.
Take the case to the laundry rather than the bedroom. Hot wash, hot dry, and check the seams of the case before it is stored.
Two visits, one plan: treat what is there now, then what hatches.
First we confirm it is bed bugs, going through the bed, furniture and room with a torch and mapping the spread into adjoining rooms.
You get written instructions for laundry, clutter and belongings, so the treatment reaches every hiding place without spreading bugs.
Heat and suitable products go onto mattress seams, bed bases, headboards and any upholstered furniture.
Skirting, carpet edges, power point surrounds, bedside furniture and curtain rails all receive targeted residual treatment.
We return and treat again at the point eggs are hatching, which is how the survivors of visit one are caught.
A written summary comes with advice on encasements and monitoring, and what to do if activity reappears.
Good preparation is the difference between one follow-up and several. Your technician may add specific instructions.
| Approach | Strengths | Limitations |
|---|---|---|
| Hot wash and dryer | Healthdirect says bed bugs die within an hour above 45 degrees and immediately at 60 degrees or more | Only suitable for washable items; does nothing for the bed frame or room |
| Professional heat | Kills every stage it reaches, including eggs, and leaves no mattress residue | No residual protection, so re-entry from untreated areas is still possible |
| Professional residual treatment | Keeps acting in cracks and crevices through the hatch | Careful placement and a follow-up visit are both required |
| Supermarket sprays and bombs | Kill bugs hit directly by the spray | Hidden bugs and eggs are untouched, and they can be driven into other rooms |
| Mattress encasements | Trap what is inside and make the mattress easy to check | An aid to treatment, not a substitute for it |

Counter-intuitive but important: keep sleeping there. You are the lure that brings survivors and newly hatched bugs across the treated surfaces. Move out and they simply wait.
Take clean clothes from sealed bags as needed. Do not return stored items to drawers until after the follow-up visit.
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.
Two weeks on with bites rising rather than falling, or live bugs in an untreated room, means a call to 1300 313 373.
Where walls are shared we will tell you honestly if the neighbouring unit needs doing too, even though that is a conversation nobody enjoys.
We write what we find and when, without taking sides. That document is usually what settles a landlord-tenant disagreement.
Hospital stays, student accommodation and shared transport all feature. It is movement of people, not conditions in the house.
Nothing is treated until we have the insect, since many bites and rashes are not bed bugs at all.
A planned second visit covers the hatch. It is included, not an extra.
Professional and unobtrusive - important for rentals, short stays and accommodation providers.
You get the prep instructions, the fixed price and the warranty terms in writing.

Get a Free QuoteBed bug treatment starts from $119. Two things move it: how big the place is, and how far it has already spread. We work that out on the phone or on site and tell you the figure before anything starts in Clovelly. Bed bug work includes a follow-up visit and a 6-month warranty.
Same-day attendance is usually available. Clovelly is about 6.9 km south-east of the CBD in the Eastern Suburbs, and we give you a firm arrival time rather than an all-day window.
Being near the water means humidity that never really drops. Sub-floors stay moist, lower levels stay cool and damp, and bed bugs do well in both.
A mix of walk-up blocks and free-standing homes, where the lower level and the sub-floor are what we concentrate on.
We do. A lot of our Clovelly work is rentals and strata, so the report, the products used and the areas treated are all recorded in writing for whoever needs them.
Yes, applied correctly. Products are registered for this use, placed out of reach rather than across open surfaces, and you will know what to stay off and for how long.
In most cases you can stay. Where an area does need to be left clear it is for a couple of hours at most, and we say so before we start.
For a standard Clovelly home, one to two hours. We would rather tell you it will take longer up front than rush it.
Bed bug work includes a follow-up visit and a 6-month warranty. A return visit inside that period does not cost you anything.
We do. Clovelly and Bronte, Coogee, Waverley and Tamarama are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
