Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Kensington.
Kensington sits about 4.6 km south of the CBD in the Eastern Suburbs, and postcode 2033 is one we are in most weeks. Our technicians are through Kensington most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Most weeks we are somewhere between Gunyama Park Aquatic and Recreation Centre and Jack Floyd Reserve in Kensington, and The Australian Golf Club is close enough to be on the same run.
The suburb sits in the Waverley, Randwick and Woollahra area. Zetland, Waterloo and Moore Park are all covered on the same day, so a problem that has spread across a boundary can be handled in one visit. 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.
Most Kensington bookings come in as unit blocks a street or two back from the water, plus the odd beachfront cafe. 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 streets near Green Square station and across toward Wills Reserve - the whole of 2033 is covered.
Bookings for 2033 are confirmed the day before with a set arrival time, not an all-day window. Jobs at Zetland and Waterloo often share the same run, which is how earlier slots come up.
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.
Bed bug populations in Australia show real resistance to some older insecticide groups, which is one reason a single chemical approach can fail. We rotate actives and combine heat with residual rather than relying on one product.
Steam handles eggs and cracks; residual product handles what walks across it afterwards. Both together is what clears a Kensington room.
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 | Minute and pale, taking on a reddish colour once fed | Needs blood before each moult, and there are several nymph stages | Any route to you crosses treated surfaces - which is the point of the residual |
| Older nymph | Bigger, darker, and hard to tell from an adult | In the same cracks as the adults, close to the bed | Seams, joints and screw holes in the frame are where we look |
| 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.
Lift the corners and run along the seams, labels and piping. Look for live bugs, pale eggs and pale cast skins.
Clusters of small brown-black spots that smear like ink are bed bug droppings. Tiny blood spots on sheets are another sign.
Check joints, screw holes and the back of the headboard, especially slatted and upholstered bases.
Anything within two metres - bedside drawers, skirting, curtains, power points, picture frames - is worth inspecting.
Bites alone prove nothing: Healthdirect notes about 1 in 5 people do not react and reactions can take 9 days. We confirm by finding the insect.
Second-hand furniture and luggage are the two routes in - suitcase seams, backpacks, a used bed or couch.

Write to your agent or landlord immediately. Do not relocate furniture or discard a mattress outside, because both spread them further. The question of who pays usually comes down to the source, and your agent or NSW Fair Trading can advise - see who pays in rentals and Airbnbs.
Don't let it sit. Neighbouring units are reachable through wall cavities and shared corridors, and treating early is far cheaper than treating the block. We can handle the tenant directly and report back in writing.
Luggage is how they get in. A two-minute look at mattress seams and headboards between stays is what catches it early. Keep the calendar blocked until the follow-up is done.
Unpack where you can contain it - the laundry. Wash and dry on high heat, and look over the suitcase seams before storing it.
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.
A written plan for laundry, decluttering and belongings comes first. Done properly it means the treatment reaches every hiding place.
Mattress seams, bases, headboards and soft furniture all get treated, with heat and products suited to each.
We apply a residual treatment to the skirting, carpet edges, around power points, the bedside furniture and the curtain rails.
A second visit re-inspects and re-treats, timed around the hatch of any eggs that survived the first treatment.
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 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 | Eggs and bugs both die where the heat reaches, with no residue | No lasting barrier, so untreated areas can reinfest |
| 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 whatever is sprayed directly | Never reach hidden bugs or eggs, and can drive them into other rooms |
| Mattress encasements | Trap what is inside and make the mattress easy to check | An aid to treatment, not a substitute for it |
More detail in our guide to heat vs chemical bed bug treatment.
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.
If after two weeks the bites are getting worse, or you find live bugs in an untreated room, call 1300 313 373.
We are around Jack Floyd Reserve and the surrounding blocks regularly, including the apartment stock where bed bugs spread between units.
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 Kensington bedroom that night.
Where walls are shared we will tell you honestly if the neighbouring unit needs doing too, even though that is a conversation nobody enjoys.
We locate the insect before treating, because bites alone are not reliable evidence.
The follow-up is scheduled from the outset, timed to the egg hatch.
Low-key and professional, which matters for rentals, short-stay properties and accommodation.
The preparation instructions, the price and the warranty terms are all put in writing.

At roughly 4.6 km south of the city, Kensington is on a route we run regularly. Same-day attendance is usually available. You will be given a time, not a window.
