Bed Bug Treatment in Haymarket 2000 — local technicians, fixed prices and a written report. Bed bug treatment starts from $119.
Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
What we cover in Haymarket, and how quickly we can get there.
If you are in Haymarket or anywhere else in 2000, you are in our Sydney CBD & Inner City patch, 1.5 km south-west of the CBD. Our technicians are through Haymarket most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Most weeks we are somewhere between Central Park Mall and Broadway Shopping Centre in Haymarket, and Central station is close enough to be on the same run.
Ultimo, Chippendale and Surry Hills are all on the same route as Haymarket. Nearly everything here is apartments, so the question is always whether the problem is in your flat or in the building - the risers, the bin room, the wall cavities between lots.
The bed bug calls we take from Haymarket are mostly flats where the neighbouring lot is the actual source. If yours is one of them, mention it when you ring 1300 313 373 - it changes what the technician brings.
Our Haymarket runs also take in Museum station and the area near Belmore Park, so the whole postcode is served.
When you book, we confirm the 2000 run the day before and give you an arrival time rather than a window. If we are already out at Ultimo or Chippendale that morning, we will usually offer you the earlier slot.
The second visit is booked at the first. If it is not needed we would rather turn up and confirm that than leave it to chance.
Clearance is judged on no bites and no evidence after the follow-up, not on the day of treatment. For most Haymarket homes that means two to three weeks.
Targeted application to harbourage - frame joints, slats, skirting, bed head - combined with steam where product cannot reach. Fogging a Haymarket room does almost nothing because it never reaches where they are.
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 | About 1 mm, pearly white, cemented into seams and cracks | Immobile and not feeding, shielded by the shell | Tougher than the active stages, which is why a follow-up targets the hatch |
| Young nymph | Tiny, cream-coloured, reddish after feeding | A blood meal is needed before every moult, several times over | It must cross treated ground to reach you, and that is how residual works |
| Older nymph | Bigger and darker - easily taken for an adult | Shelters in the same cracks as the adults, near the bed | Found by going through seams, joints and screw holes on the frame |
| 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.
Clusters of small brown-black spots that smear like ink are bed bug droppings. Tiny blood spots on sheets are another sign.
Joints, screw holes and the reverse of the headboard need checking, particularly on slatted or upholstered bases.
The zone around the bed matters: drawers, skirting boards, curtain folds, power points and frames within a couple of metres.
Healthdirect notes that about 1 in 5 people do not react, and reactions can take up to 9 days to appear. Finding the insect is what confirms it.
Suitcase and backpack seams, and second-hand beds or couches brought in recently, account for most introductions.

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.
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 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.
A torch inspection of the bed, the furniture and the room confirms bed bugs and establishes how far they have gone, neighbouring rooms included.
Written instructions cover laundry, clutter and belongings, so the treatment can reach every harbourage without moving bugs elsewhere.
Treatment covers mattress seams, bed bases, headboards and upholstered pieces, using heat alongside suitable products.
Targeted residual into the skirting boards, 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.
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 | 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 working in cracks and crevices as nymphs hatch and move | Needs careful placement and a follow-up visit |
| Supermarket sprays and bombs | Kill on direct contact | Do not reach hidden bugs or eggs, and can scatter them through the house |
| Mattress encasements | Trap bugs within the mattress and simplify checking later | Part of a program rather than 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.
Take clean clothes from sealed bags only, and do not restock the drawers until the follow-up is complete.
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 rising rather than falling at two weeks, or live bugs in an untreated room - ring 1300 313 373.
Proactive inspection of high-turnover rooms is far cheaper than reactive treatment plus the review that follows.
They travel on things more often than under their own power: a bag set on an infested bed, a mattress carried down a Haymarket stairwell, a couch moved between rooms. That is why we tell you not to move furniture out.
We are around Central Park Mall and the surrounding blocks regularly, including the apartment stock where bed bugs spread between units.
First we find the bug itself - a lot of what looks like bed bug bites is not.
The second visit, timed to the hatch, is included - you should not have to chase it.
Discreet, professional attendance for rentals, short-stay listings and accommodation.
Everything in writing: the preparation plan, the fixed price and the warranty terms.

Get a Free QuoteBed bug treatment starts from $119. We quote on the property rather than the postcode, so a unit in Haymarket and a large house are priced differently. The figure is fixed before any work starts. Bed bug work includes a follow-up visit and a 6-month warranty.
Same-day attendance is usually available. We are about 1.5 km south-west of the city here, and Haymarket is covered by the Sydney CBD & Inner City team.
Waste is centralised in a tower - chutes, bin rooms, loading areas - and that concentration is what keeps bed bugs fed. Height makes no difference; the risers are a staircase.
Mostly apartments, so we treat your lot and, where the source is common property, give you something in writing to take to the building manager.
Yes. We work in houses, units, strata blocks, rentals and commercial premises across Haymarket 2000, and we provide the written report agents and strata managers ask for.
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.
Most of the time you can carry on as normal. If a particular area needs to be empty we will flag it when we arrive and it is rarely more than a couple of hours.
An hour to two hours covers most jobs. The size of the building and the extent of the problem are what change it.
Bed bug work includes a follow-up visit and a 6-month warranty. A return visit within the warranty period costs you nothing.
Yes. As well as Haymarket we cover Ultimo, Chippendale, Surry Hills and Sydney on the same runs, so a job that crosses a boundary can be handled in one visit.
