Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
What we cover in Hurstville, and how quickly we can get there.
Postcode 2220 covers Hurstville and the streets immediately around it. At about 14.6 km south-west of the CBD it falls in the St George & Bayside, where we have vans out daily. We run Hurstville on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Around Hurstville we work the pockets near Hurstville station, Woodville Street Reserve and Young Place Reserve most often, so the van is rarely far away when a job comes in.
Hurstville is in the Georges River and Bayside area, and we cover Penshurst, South Hurstville and Hurstville Grove on the same runs - handy if you own more than one property or your bed bug problem has come from next door. Salt air and sandy ground keep sub-floors damp here, and damp is what sustains a population.
What we see in Hurstville is apartments where the problem is really in the building rather than the flat. Describing it accurately when you book saves a second visit.
The rest of 2220 is covered too, including the pockets around Westfield Hurstville and Bexley Golf Course.
We confirm your slot the day before and arrive at a stated time. Penshurst and South Hurstville sit on the same run, so earlier appointments in 2220 come up regularly.
If a Hurstville 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.
The one-metre rule is a good guide: bedside tables, a chair beside the bed, the carpet edge. Beyond that is less common but not impossible in a heavy Hurstville infestation.
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.
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 | 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 | Noticeably bigger and darker, and easy to confuse with an adult | Hides where the adults hide, close to the bed | Turned up by checking seams, joints and screw holes in the bed frame |
| 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 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 where the frame joints meet, inside screw holes, and behind the headboard. Upholstered and slatted bases are the worst.
Within about two metres of the bed: bedside drawers, skirting, the folds of curtains, power points and picture frames.
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.
Luggage seams and backpacks, plus recently acquired second-hand beds and couches, are where they commonly arrive from.
A licensed Sydney technician will talk it through and give you a fixed quote within half an hour.
Report it to the agent or landlord in writing the day you find it. Leave the furniture where it is and do not put a mattress out on the street - that spreads them. Cost responsibility depends on where it started, so ask your agent or NSW Fair Trading. Our blog explains who pays in rentals and Airbnbs.
Move fast on it. Bed bugs travel between units through wall cavities and shared corridors, so treating one flat early costs far less than treating a building later. We will liaise with the tenant and report to you in writing.
Bed bugs travel in guest luggage. A quick changeover check of seams and headboards catches them early - and the calendar stays blocked through treatment and follow-up.
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.
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.
The follow-up is scheduled to coincide with eggs hatching, so the nymphs that survived the first visit are dealt with.
Written summary, advice on mattress encasements and monitoring, and clear instructions if activity returns.
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 | Destroys bugs and eggs wherever it reaches, leaving no residue on bedding | Offers nothing ongoing if bugs come back from an untreated area |
| Professional residual treatment | Carries on working in the cracks and crevices as nymphs hatch and travel | Requires precise placement and a follow-up visit to finish |
| 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 | Keep bugs sealed in and make ongoing checks straightforward | A tool used with treatment, not instead of it |

Do not move to the couch. Sleeping in the treated bed is what pulls survivors and new nymphs across treated surfaces - an empty room just delays things.
Work out of sealed bags for clean clothing, and leave the drawers empty until the follow-up visit has happened.
A few bites across the first two weeks is usual during the hatch. Note dates and body locations for us.
Get in touch on 1300 313 373 if bites are increasing after a fortnight, or you find live bugs somewhere we did not treat.
Bed bugs do not fly or jump. They walk - along skirting, through wall cavities, under doors and up service risers - which is why a problem in one Hurstville apartment can appear in the one next door weeks later.
We document each room treated and the outcome, so you have a record if a guest raises it later.
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 Hurstville bedroom that night.
Identification first. Many of the rashes people think are bed bug bites are not.
A planned return visit for hatching eggs, not an extra you have to chase.
Low-key and professional, which matters for rentals, short-stay properties and accommodation.
Prep instructions, a fixed price and warranty terms confirmed in writing.

Same-day attendance is usually available. We are about 14.6 km south-west of the city here, and Hurstville is covered by the St George & Bayside team.
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.
Yes. Houses, townhouses, units, strata common property, rentals and commercial sites in Hurstville 2220 are all part of what we do, and the paperwork is the kind agents accept.
Yes. Everything we use is registered for the purpose and applied at label rates, and we place product where people and animals do not go. Tell us about pets, aquariums or anyone with a respiratory condition at booking.
In the great majority of jobs, no. If one area needs to be left for an hour or two we say so before we start rather than after.
Allow an hour to two hours for most properties. A bigger building, or one where the problem has spread, takes longer - and we would rather tell you that when quoting than rush it.
Bed bug work includes a follow-up visit and a 6-month warranty. That is the point of the warranty - you do not pay twice for the same problem.
