Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
What we cover in Mosman, and how quickly we can get there.
Mosman sits about 5.1 km north-east of the CBD in the Lower North Shore, and postcode 2088 is one we are in most weeks. Our technicians are through Mosman most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Our Mosman work takes in the streets by Cammeray Golf Course and Memory Park, through to Sydney Harbour National Park at the other end.
North Sydney, Mosman, Willoughby, Lane Cove and Hunters Hill is the council area for Mosman, and we treat Cremorne, Cremorne Point and Neutral Bay on the same schedule. Period homes near the harbour tend to have sub-floors, original timber and gardens running down to the boundary, so the inspection covers well beyond the kitchen.
Mosman jobs tend to be older homes near the water with a sub-floor that never fully dries. Let us know which when you ring and we will plan the visit around it.
Corner Beach and Big Bear Village are on the same round, which means every part of 2088 is within our area.
We confirm your slot the day before and arrive at a stated time. Cremorne and Cremorne Point sit on the same run, so earlier appointments in 2088 come up regularly.
Steam handles eggs and cracks; residual product handles what walks across it afterwards. Both together is what clears a Mosman room.
Any Mosman operator quoting a single visit for an established infestation is either very optimistic or not telling you the whole story.
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 Mosman infestation.
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 | Pearly white and about a millimetre, glued into cracks and seams | Neither moves nor feeds; the shell shields it | More resistant than active stages, so the follow-up is aimed at 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 | Larger, darker, easy to mistake for an adult | Hides in the same cracks as adults, close to the bed | Found by inspecting seams, joints and screw holes in the bed frame |
| Adult | Rusty brown, flat and oval, reaching about 6 mm | Feeds every few days to a week, and can go months without one | An unoccupied room cannot be assumed clear - waiting it out 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.
Clustered brown-black specks that smudge like ink are the droppings. Little blood spots on the sheet are another indicator.
Look into the joints and screw holes, and behind the headboard - slatted and upholstered bases most of all.
Bedside table drawers, skirting boards, curtain folds, power points and picture frames within a couple of metres of the bed.
According to Healthdirect roughly 1 in 5 people show no reaction at all, and a reaction can take as long as 9 days. Only finding the insect confirms it.
Suitcase seams, backpacks and second-hand beds or couches brought home recently are common sources.

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.
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.
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.
Open the case in the laundry rather than the bedroom. Everything washed and dried on high heat, and check the suitcase seams before it goes under a bed.
Two visits, one plan: treat what is there now, then what hatches.
We go through bed, furniture and room with a torch - confirming it is bed bugs and mapping the spread, including into neighbouring rooms.
The prep plan is written down - laundry, clutter, belongings - because that is what gives the treatment access without spreading bugs.
Treatment covers mattress seams, bed bases, headboards and upholstered pieces, using heat alongside suitable products.
Skirting boards, carpet edges, power point surrounds, bedside furniture and curtain rails get a targeted residual treatment.
A return visit re-inspects and re-treats, timed so it catches nymphs hatching from eggs that came through the first treatment.
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 | 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 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 | 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 | Work on bugs sprayed at directly | Miss concealed bugs and eggs entirely, and spread them to other rooms |
| Mattress encasements | Trap bugs within the mattress and simplify checking later | Part of a program rather than a treatment on their own |

Counter-intuitive but important: keep sleeping there. You are the lure that brings survivors and newly hatched bugs across the treated surfaces. Move out and they simply wait.
Keep clean washing in sealed bags and take out what you need. Nothing goes back into drawers until the follow-up is done.
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.
If after two weeks the bites are getting worse, or you find live bugs in an untreated room, call 1300 313 373.
Where walls are shared we will tell you honestly if the neighbouring unit needs doing too, even though that is a conversation nobody enjoys.
Movement is slow and on foot, but persistent. In a Mosman block they use the same cavities and risers the wiring does, so adjoining lots are always worth checking.
Homes, units, rentals, short-stays and accommodation across 2088 and out toward Cremorne - the whole of Mosman, not selected streets.
Nothing is treated until we have the insect, since many bites and rashes are not bed bugs at all.
A follow-up for the egg hatch is built into the job rather than sold separately.
Discreet, professional attendance for rentals, short-stay listings and accommodation.
Prep instructions, a fixed price and warranty terms confirmed in writing.

Get a Free QuoteBed bug treatment starts from $119. We quote on the property rather than the postcode, so a unit in Mosman 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 5.1 km north-east of the city here, and Mosman is covered by the Lower North Shore team.
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.
Established housing near the water, much of it with original timber and sub-floor space that no longer ventilates properly.
Yes - freestanding homes, townhouses, apartments, rentals and business premises in Mosman 2088 are all covered, with documentation suitable for an agent or a strata manager.
It is, applied properly. We put product into cracks, voids and stations rather than across open surfaces, and we will tell you what to stay off and for how long before we leave.
Usually not. Most of the work is done with you in the house, and where a room does need to be clear it is for a short period we will tell you about on arrival.
Typically one to two hours on site. What extends it is size, access and how far the problem has gone, all of which are accounted for in the quote.
Bed bug work includes a follow-up visit and a 6-month warranty. Ring us if activity picks up again inside that period and we will arrange the return.
We cover the whole of Mosman, from the streets around Sydney Harbour National Park out to the suburb boundary and on into Cremorne.
