Where Kirribilli sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Kirribilli sits about 2.3 km north of the CBD in the Lower North Shore, and postcode 2061 is one we are in most weeks. Our technicians are through Kirribilli most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
A lot of our Kirribilli jobs are in the streets around Greenwood Plaza and Milsons Point station, and we are out near North Sydney station regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
This is the North Sydney, Mosman, Willoughby, Lane Cove and Hunters Hill area, and our runs here also take in Milsons Point, Kurraba Point and Lavender Bay. A lot of the housing here is older and close to the water, so sub-floors and lower levels hold damp - and damp is what keeps a population going.
Kirribilli jobs tend to be period houses and converted blocks where the lower level is the problem. Let us know which when you ring and we will plan the visit around it.
Beyond that we are regularly around Wrixton Park, and out as far as Art Barton Park. If you are anywhere in 2061, you are inside the area we run.
Bookings for 2061 are confirmed the day before with a set arrival time, not an all-day window. Jobs at Milsons Point and Kurraba Point 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.
Expect two to three weeks end to end. The gap between visits is deliberate - it is timed to the hatch, not to our schedule.
Bed bugs are flat enough to sit in a screw hole. In a Kirribilli bedroom that means the bed frame joints, the slats, behind the headboard, the skirting and anything within about a metre of where someone sleeps.
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 | Roughly 1 mm and pearly white, stuck fast in seams and cracks | Cannot move or feed, and the shell protects it | Harder to kill than anything mobile, so the second visit deals with what hatches |
| 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 | Larger and darker than the young stages, adult-like in appearance | Hides alongside adults in cracks near the bed | Found through inspection of seams, joints and frame screw holes |
| 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 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.
Check where the frame joints meet, inside screw holes, and behind the headboard. Upholstered and slatted bases are the worst.
Bedside table drawers, skirting boards, curtain folds, power points and picture frames within a couple of metres of the bed.
Roughly 1 in 5 people do not react at all, and reactions can lag by up to 9 days - Healthdirect's figures. Finding the bed bug is the confirmation.
The usual sources are suitcase seams, backpacks, and any second-hand bed or couch brought home lately.

Notify the agent or landlord in writing as soon as you find them. Moving furniture out or putting a mattress on the street spreads the infestation. Who pays generally depends on the source, so take advice from the agent or NSW Fair Trading - our blog covers who pays in rentals and Airbnbs.
Quick action pays. Bed bugs reach neighbouring apartments through wall cavities and shared corridors, so early treatment avoids a building-wide program. We deal with the tenant and document it for you.
They come in with guests' bags. Checking mattress seams and headboards between stays catches it, and the listing stays blocked until follow-up is complete.
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.
We treat the mattress seams, the base, the headboard and upholstered furniture using heat and appropriate products.
The room itself gets a residual: skirting boards, carpet edges, around power points, bedside furniture, curtain rails.
We return and treat again at the point eggs are hatching, which is how the survivors of visit one are caught.
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: death inside an hour above 45 degrees, immediate at 60 degrees or higher | Covers washables and nothing else - not the frame, not the room |
| Professional heat | Kills the bugs and the eggs it reaches, and leaves mattresses residue-free | Gives no ongoing protection against return from untreated areas |
| Professional residual treatment | Keeps acting in cracks and crevices through the hatch | Careful placement and a follow-up visit are both required |
| Supermarket sprays and bombs | Work on bugs sprayed at directly | Miss concealed bugs and eggs entirely, and spread them to other rooms |
| Mattress encasements | Trap bugs inside and make future checks much easier | A tool alongside treatment, not a treatment on their own |
More detail in our guide to heat vs chemical bed bug treatment.
Keep sleeping in the bed. Your presence draws surviving and newly hatched bugs over the treated areas, whereas an empty room lets them sit tight.
Keep clean washing in sealed bags and take out what you need. Nothing goes back into drawers until the follow-up is done.
It is normal to get some bites early on while eggs hatch. Note when and where, because that is how we measure progress.
Two weeks on with bites rising rather than falling, or live bugs in an untreated room, means a call to 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 Kirribilli stairwell, a couch moved between rooms. That is why we tell you not to move furniture out.
Second-hand furniture is the other big one. A used bed base is genuinely the riskiest item anyone brings into a Kirribilli home.
In a Kirribilli unit block or a share house, bed bugs move along skirting, through power points and under doors. Treating one bedroom and ignoring the one beside it leaves the source in place.
We find the insect first, because many rashes and bites are not bed bugs.
Return visits for hatching eggs come as part of the program, not as an add-on.

At roughly 2.3 km north of the city, Kirribilli is on a route we run regularly. Same-day attendance is usually available. You will be given a time, not a window.
Old houses, steep blocks and heavy planting. The lower level cut into the slope stays cool and damp, and that is where bed bugs settle well before anyone notices them upstairs.
Older houses and converted blocks, frequently on a slope with a lower level cut into it - which is where we usually start.
We do all of those. A good share of the Kirribilli jobs we run are tenanted or strata properties, so the written record comes as standard.
Yes, when it is applied properly. We use registered products at label rates and tell you which areas to keep clear and for how long. Mention pets, fish tanks or allergies when you book.
Generally no. We will tell you on arrival if any part of the job means keeping out of a room for a while, so there are no surprises.
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. If activity continues past the expected period, call us and we will come back.
Yes. As well as Kirribilli we cover Milsons Point, Kurraba Point, Lavender Bay and Dawes Point on the same runs, so a job that crosses a boundary can be handled in one visit.
