Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Where Coogee sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Coogee sits about 7 km south-east of the CBD in the Eastern Suburbs, and postcode 2034 is one we are in most weeks. Our technicians are through Coogee most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
If you are near Ernest Collins Reserve, Coogee Beach or Royal Randwick Shopping Centre, that is ground we cover constantly - it is the busiest part of Coogee for us.
We work under the Waverley, Randwick and Woollahra area here, and Clovelly, Randwick and South Coogee are all on the same route, which matters when bed bug problems are moving between adjoining properties. Salt air and sandy ground keep sub-floors damp here, and damp is what sustains a population.
Coogee jobs tend to be apartments where the problem is really in the building rather than the flat. Let us know which when you ring and we will plan the visit around it.
We also work the area near North Goldstein Reserve, and the rest of 2034 with it.
You get a confirmed time, not a window. We plan the 2034 run the day before, and if Clovelly or Randwick is on the same round there is often an earlier slot going.
Bed bugs are flat enough to sit in a screw hole. In a Coogee bedroom that means the bed frame joints, the slats, behind the headboard, the skirting and anything within about a metre of where someone sleeps.
We treat the structure, not the air. Every joint, seam and void within the harbourage zone gets attention individually, which is why it takes time.
Expect two to three weeks end to end. The gap between visits is deliberate - it is timed to the hatch, not to our schedule.
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 | Larger and darker, often mistaken for a full adult | Uses the same cracks as adults, always close to the bed | Located by inspecting the frame's seams, joints and screw holes |
| Adult | Flat, oval, rusty brown, up to about 6 mm | Feeds every few days to a week or so and can survive months without a meal | An empty room is not safe to assume clear; do not wait it 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 corners and run along the seams, labels and piping. Look for live bugs, pale eggs and pale cast skins.
Clustered brown-black specks that smudge like ink are the droppings. Little blood spots on the sheet are another indicator.
Check joints, screw holes and the back of the headboard, especially slatted and upholstered bases.
Bedside table drawers, skirting boards, curtain folds, power points and picture frames within a couple of metres of the bed.
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.
Suitcase seams, backpacks and second-hand beds or couches brought home recently are common sources.

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 quickly. In apartments, bed bugs can move to neighbouring units through wall cavities and shared corridors, and an early treatment is far cheaper than a building-wide one. We can deal with the tenant directly and send you a written report.
They arrive in guests' luggage. Checking mattress seams and headboards at each changeover catches them before the next booking. Block the calendar until both treatment and follow-up are finished.
Open the case in the laundry rather than the bedroom. Everything washed and dried on high heat, and check the suitcase seams before it goes under a bed.
Two visits, one plan: treat what is there now, then what hatches.
We inspect the bed, furniture and room with a torch to confirm bed bugs and map how far they have spread, including neighbouring rooms.
We give you a written prep plan for laundry, clutter and possessions - it is what lets the treatment reach everywhere without spreading them.
Mattress seams, bed bases, headboards and upholstered furniture are treated with heat and suitable products.
Skirting boards, carpet edges, power point surrounds, bedside furniture and curtain rails get a targeted residual treatment.
We return to re-inspect and treat again, timed to catch nymphs that hatch from eggs that survived the first visit.
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 records death within an hour over 45 degrees and immediately from 60 degrees | Only helps with washables - the frame and room need something else |
| 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 | 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 | Will kill a bug you spray directly | Concealed bugs and eggs survive, and the treatment can push them elsewhere |
| Mattress encasements | Keep bugs sealed in and make ongoing checks straightforward | A tool used with treatment, not instead of it |

Stay in the bed, odd as that sounds. Survivors and newly hatched bugs come to you across treated surfaces; if you leave, they wait you out.
Clean clothes stay in sealed bags, taken out as required. Hold off returning anything 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.
Where walls are shared we will tell you honestly if the neighbouring unit needs doing too, even though that is a conversation nobody enjoys.
Every address in Coogee is the same price and the same response time, whether it is a house or a sixth-floor unit.
They travel on things more often than under their own power: a bag set on an infested bed, a mattress carried down a Coogee stairwell, a couch moved between rooms. That is why we tell you not to move furniture out.
We find the insect first, because many rashes and bites are not bed bugs.
The second visit, timed to the hatch, is included - you should not have to chase it.
Discreet attendance for rentals, short-stay listings and accommodation operators.
Prep plan, fixed price and warranty terms, all confirmed in writing before we start.

Get a Free QuoteBed bug treatment starts from $119. There is no call-out charge in Coogee 2034. The final number comes down to the property itself, and it is fixed before we begin. Bed bug work includes a follow-up visit and a 6-month warranty.
Same-day attendance is usually available. Our Eastern Suburbs technicians cover Coogee daily, and you get a confirmed arrival time when you book.
Humidity close to the coast does not fall away in winter the way it does inland, so bed bugs here get a longer active season than they would further west.
Coastal housing here is a mix, but the damp lower level is consistent across most of it.
We do. A lot of our Coogee work is rentals and strata, so the report, the products used and the areas treated are all recorded in writing for whoever needs them.
It is, applied properly. We put product into cracks, voids and stations rather than across open surfaces, and we will tell you what to stay off and for how long before we leave.
Normally you can stay. Some treatments mean keeping out of a particular room briefly, and we will flag that when we arrive so you can plan around it.
Usually between one and two hours on site. Bigger properties and heavier infestations take more, and that is included in the quote rather than added afterwards.
Bed bug work includes a follow-up visit and a 6-month warranty. A return visit inside that period does not cost you anything.
Yes. As well as Coogee we cover Clovelly, Randwick, South Coogee and Bronte on the same runs, so a job that crosses a boundary can be handled in one visit.
