Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
What we cover in Lewisham, and how quickly we can get there.
Lewisham is part of the Inner West, 6.7 km or so south-west of the GPO, and 2049 is a postcode we know well. Our technicians are through Lewisham most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
If you are near Harvest Park, Fanny Durack Aquatic Centre or Graham Reserve, that is ground we cover constantly - it is the busiest part of Lewisham for us.
Lewisham is in the Inner West, Burwood, Strathfield and Canada Bay area, and we cover Summer Hill, Petersham and Dulwich Hill on the same runs - handy if you own more than one property or your bed bug problem has come from next door. Most of the housing here shares a wall, a roof void or a sub-floor with something else, so we check what adjoins the property rather than treating it in isolation.
The bed bug calls we take from Lewisham are mostly apartments and converted blocks where the kitchen backs onto a service riser. If yours is one of them, mention it when you ring 1300 313 373 - it changes what the technician brings.
The rest of 2049 is covered too, including the pockets around MarketPlace Leichhardt and Lewisham West station.
Bookings for 2049 are confirmed the day before with a set arrival time, not an all-day window. Jobs at Summer Hill and Petersham often share the same run, which is how earlier slots come up.
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.
Bed bugs are flat enough to sit in a screw hole. In a Lewisham bedroom that means the bed frame joints, the slats, behind the headboard, the skirting and anything within about a metre of where someone sleeps.
Any Lewisham operator quoting a single visit for an established infestation is either very optimistic or not telling you the whole story.
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 | 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 | Flat and oval, rusty brown, up to roughly 6 mm long | Feeds at intervals of a few days to a week, but endures months unfed | An empty room proves nothing - waiting them out is not a strategy |
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.
Clustered brown-black specks that smudge like ink are the droppings. Little blood spots on the sheet are another indicator.
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.
Healthdirect puts it at about 1 in 5 people not reacting, with reactions sometimes taking up to 9 days to show. The insect itself is the proof.
Luggage seams and backpacks, plus recently acquired second-hand beds and couches, are where they commonly arrive from.

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.
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.
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.
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.
The prep plan is written down - laundry, clutter, belongings - because that is what gives the treatment access without spreading bugs.
We treat the mattress seams, the base, the headboard and upholstered furniture using heat and appropriate products.
Skirting boards, carpet edges, power point surrounds, bedside furniture and curtain rails get a targeted residual treatment.
The follow-up is scheduled to coincide with eggs hatching, so the nymphs that survived the first visit are dealt with.
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 | According to Healthdirect, an hour above 45 degrees kills them, and 60 degrees does it at once | Washable items only; the bed frame and room are not addressed |
| 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 | Stays effective in the cracks while nymphs hatch out and move about | Depends on careful placement, and a return visit is part of it |
| Supermarket sprays and bombs | Kill on direct contact | Do not reach hidden bugs or eggs, and can scatter them through the house |
| Mattress encasements | Keep bugs sealed in and make ongoing checks straightforward | A tool used with treatment, not instead of it |
More detail in our guide to heat vs chemical bed bug treatment.
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.
Second-hand furniture is the other big one. A used bed base is genuinely the riskiest item anyone brings into a Lewisham home.
We write what we find and when, without taking sides. That document is usually what settles a landlord-tenant disagreement.
Proactive inspection of high-turnover rooms is far cheaper than reactive treatment plus the review that follows.
Nothing is treated until we have the insect, since many bites and rashes are not bed bugs at all.
The follow-up is scheduled from the outset, timed to the egg hatch.
Discreet attendance for rentals, short-stay listings and accommodation operators.
Preparation instructions, the fixed price and the warranty terms all confirmed in writing.
