Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
What we cover in Drummoyne, and how quickly we can get there.
Drummoyne is part of the Inner West, 5.3 km or so west of the GPO, and 2047 is a postcode we know well. Our technicians are through Drummoyne most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
The Drummoyne addresses we attend cluster around Woolwich Baths Beach and Birkenhead Point Outlet Centre. Drummoyne Park is another part of the suburb we are called to often.
This is the Inner West, Burwood, Strathfield and Canada Bay area, and our runs here also take in Russell Lea, Chiswick and Woolwich. Terraces, semis and converted blocks share cavities and risers, which is why a single-unit treatment often does not hold on its own.
Most Drummoyne bookings come in as older semis with a paved rear courtyard and a sub-floor that no longer dries out. Say which one applies when you call 1300 313 373 and the technician will have the right products on the van.
We also work the area near Parramatta River Regional Park, and the rest of 2047 with it.
You get a confirmed time, not a window. We plan the 2047 run the day before, and if Russell Lea or Chiswick is on the same round there is often an earlier slot going.
They do not live on the person and they rarely live in the middle of the mattress. They live in the structure around the bed and come out to feed.
Any Drummoyne operator quoting a single visit for an established infestation is either very optimistic or not telling you the whole story.
Resistance is well documented in this species, so a product that cleared an infestation five years ago may not clear one now. The answer is combining methods, not increasing the dose.
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, 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.
Start at the corners and follow the seams, the labels and the piping. Live bugs, pale eggs and cast skins are what you are looking for.
Small brown-black spots in clusters, smearing like ink when wiped, are droppings. Pinpoint blood spots on the sheets point the same way.
Check where the frame joints meet, inside screw holes, and behind the headboard. Upholstered and slatted bases are the worst.
The zone around the bed matters: drawers, skirting boards, curtain folds, power points and frames within a couple of metres.
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 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.
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.
Unpack in the laundry, not the bedroom. Wash and dry clothes on high heat, and inspect suitcase seams before storing the case under a bed.
Two visits, one plan: treat what is there now, then what hatches.
Confirmation comes first: a torch inspection of bed, furniture and room, and a map of how far it has spread.
The prep plan is written down - laundry, clutter, belongings - because that is what gives the treatment access without spreading bugs.
Heat and suitable products go onto mattress seams, bed bases, headboards and any upholstered furniture.
The room itself gets a residual: skirting boards, carpet edges, around power points, bedside furniture, curtain rails.
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 | Lethal to bugs and eggs it contacts, with no residue left on a mattress | Nothing lasting - bugs returning from untreated areas are not stopped |
| Professional residual treatment | Remains active in cracks and crevices, catching nymphs as they hatch and move | Placement has to be right, and a follow-up visit is necessary |
| 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 | Trap bugs inside and make future checks much easier | A tool alongside treatment, not a treatment on their own |

Carry on sleeping there. It is what draws the remaining bugs and the new hatch over the treated surfaces. Vacating the room lets them lie dormant.
Work out of sealed bags for clean clothing, and leave the drawers empty until the follow-up visit has happened.
It is normal to get some bites early on while eggs hatch. Note when and where, because that is how we measure progress.
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.
They travel on things more often than under their own power: a bag set on an infested bed, a mattress carried down a Drummoyne stairwell, a couch moved between rooms. That is why we tell you not to move furniture out.
Hospital stays, student accommodation and shared transport all feature. It is movement of people, not conditions in the house.
Every address in Drummoyne is the same price and the same response time, whether it is a house or a sixth-floor unit.
We find the insect first, because many rashes and bites are not bed bugs.
The return visit for hatching eggs is part of the program, not something you have to ask for.
Quiet, discreet service for rental properties, short stays and accommodation.
Preparation instructions, the fixed price and the warranty terms all confirmed in writing.

Get a Free QuoteBed bug treatment starts from $119. The fixed price depends on the size of the property and how far the problem has spread, and we confirm it before we start - there is no call-out fee in Drummoyne 2047. Bed bug work includes a follow-up visit and a 6-month warranty.
Same-day attendance is usually available. Drummoyne is about 5.3 km west of the CBD in the Inner West, and we give you a firm arrival time rather than an all-day window.
Most of this area is terrace, semi and converted block, and those share more than people realise - cavities, roof spaces, drainage. bed bugs use all of it.
Joined housing with ageing drainage. That combination decides where product goes far more than the floor plan does.
We do. A lot of our Drummoyne 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, provided the instructions are followed. We will tell you what to keep clear of and for how long before we leave. Let us know about children, pets or fish tanks when you book.
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 Drummoyne 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.
