Connells Point is part of the St George & Bayside, 16.2 km or so south-west of the GPO, and 2221 is a postcode we know well. We run Connells Point on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Our Connells Point work takes in the streets by Young Place Reserve and Westfield Hurstville, through to Duggan Park at the other end.
Georges River and Bayside is the council area for Connells Point, and we treat South Hurstville, Hurstville Grove and Blakehurst on the same schedule. 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.
What we see in Connells Point is apartments where the problem is really in the building rather than the flat. Describing it accurately when you book saves a second visit.
All of 2221 falls inside the area we service.
You get a confirmed time, not a window. We plan the 2221 run the day before, and if South Hurstville or Hurstville Grove is on the same round there is often an earlier slot going.
Steam handles eggs and cracks; residual product handles what walks across it afterwards. Both together is what clears a Connells Point room.
Clearance is judged on no bites and no evidence after the follow-up, not on the day of treatment. For most Connells Point homes that means two to three weeks.
Bed bugs are flat enough to sit in a screw hole. In a Connells Point bedroom that means the bed frame joints, the slats, behind the headboard, the skirting and anything within about a metre of where someone sleeps.
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 white, about 1 mm, glued into seams and cracks | Cannot move or feed; protected inside its shell | Harder to kill than active stages, so a follow-up visit targets what hatches |
| Young nymph | Small and pale cream, turning red when it has fed | Feeds on blood before each moult through several nymph stages | Reaching you requires crossing treated surfaces, which the residual relies on |
| 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 | About 6 mm, flat and oval, rusty brown in colour | Takes a meal every few days to a week, surviving months without | Do not assume an empty room is clear, and do not try to starve them out |
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.
Lift the mattress corners and inspect along seams, piping and labels for live bugs, pale eggs or the skins they have cast.
Look for groups of small dark spots that smear when touched - that is droppings. Tiny blood marks on bedding confirm it.
Check joints, screw holes and the back of the headboard, especially slatted and upholstered bases.
Check the bedside drawers, the skirting boards, curtain folds, power points and any picture frame within a couple of metres.
Healthdirect puts it at about 1 in 5 people not reacting, with reactions sometimes taking up to 9 days to show. The insect itself is the proof.
The usual sources are suitcase seams, backpacks, and any second-hand bed or couch brought home lately.

Tell your agent or landlord in writing as soon as you find bed bugs, and do not move furniture out or throw a mattress onto the street, which spreads them. Who pays usually depends on where the infestation came from, so get advice from your 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.
Guests bring bed bugs in luggage. A quick check of mattress seams and headboards at every changeover catches them before the next guest is bitten. Block the calendar until treatment and follow-up are done.
Do the unpacking in the laundry, not on the bed. High-heat wash and dry for the clothes, and inspect the case seams before putting it away.
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.
The bed and soft furniture - seams, base, headboard, upholstery - are treated with heat and appropriate products.
Residual treatment is placed into skirting, carpet edges, power point surrounds, bedside furniture and curtain rails.
We return to re-inspect and treat again, timed to catch nymphs that hatch from eggs that survived the first visit.
The job closes with a written summary, encasement and monitoring advice, and what to do if you spot activity 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 | Per Healthdirect, bed bugs die within an hour above 45 degrees, and instantly at 60 degrees or above | Washable items only - the bed frame and the room itself are untouched |
| Professional heat | Kills bugs and eggs it reaches, no residue on mattresses | No lasting protection if bugs return from untreated areas |
| Professional residual treatment | Keeps working in cracks and crevices as nymphs hatch and move | Needs careful placement and a follow-up visit |
| Supermarket sprays and bombs | Effective on a bug you hit directly | Hidden bugs and eggs are missed, and the rest can be pushed into other rooms |
| Mattress encasements | Seal in anything already present and ease future inspection | They work with a treatment, not as one |
More detail in our guide to heat vs chemical bed bug treatment.
Keep sleeping in the bed. Your presence draws surviving and newly hatched bugs over the treated areas, whereas an empty room lets them sit tight.
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.
Bites are increasing rather than decreasing after two weeks, or you find live bugs in a room that was not treated. Ring 1300 313 373.
Movement is slow and on foot, but persistent. In a Connells Point block they use the same cavities and risers the wiring does, so adjoining lots are always worth checking.
Luggage is the number one route. A case placed on a hotel bed or a luggage rack picks them up, and they are in a Connells Point bedroom that night.
Homes, units, rentals, short-stays and accommodation across 2221 and out toward South Hurstville - the whole of Connells Point, not selected streets.
First we find the bug itself - a lot of what looks like bed bug bites is not.
The follow-up is scheduled from the outset, timed to the egg hatch.
A quiet and professional service, suited to rentals, short stays and accommodation businesses.
The preparation instructions, the price and the warranty terms are all put in writing.
