Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Potts Point.
Potts Point is part of the Sydney CBD & Inner City, 1.4 km or so east of the GPO, and 2011 is a postcode we know well. Our technicians are through Potts Point most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
A lot of our Potts Point jobs are in the streets around Beare Park and Rushcutters Bay Park, and we are out near Westfield Sydney regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
Woolloomooloo, Elizabeth Bay and Rushcutters Bay are all on the same route as Potts Point. Nearly everything here is apartments, so the question is always whether the problem is in your flat or in the building - the risers, the bin room, the wall cavities between lots.
Most Potts Point bookings come in as flats where the neighbouring lot is the actual source. Say which one applies when you call 1300 313 373 and the technician will have the right products on the van.
The rest of 2011 is covered too, including the pockets around Westfield 111 Castlereagh and Kings Cross station.
We confirm your slot the day before and arrive at a stated time. Woolloomooloo and Elizabeth Bay sit on the same run, so earlier appointments in 2011 come up regularly.
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.
Any Potts Point operator quoting a single visit for an established infestation is either very optimistic or not telling you the whole story.
They do not live on the person and they rarely live in the middle of the mattress. They live in the structure around the bed and come out to feed.
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 and about 1 mm long, fixed into cracks and seams | Cannot move or feed, shielded by the shell | The resistant stage, which is exactly why there is a second visit |
| Young nymph | Pale cream and tiny, reddening after a meal | Must feed on blood before each moult through several stages | Has to travel over treated surfaces to get to you, so the residual catches it |
| 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 body, rusty brown, up to 6 mm or so | Feeds every few days to a week and can last months without feeding | Never assume an empty room is clear - they outlast the wait |
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.
Pull the corners up and work along every seam, label and length of piping, looking for live insects, pale eggs and shed skins.
Clusters of small brown-black spots that smear like ink are bed bug droppings. Tiny blood spots on sheets are another sign.
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.
Healthdirect notes that about 1 in 5 people do not react, and reactions can take up to 9 days to appear. Finding the insect is what confirms it.
Suitcase seams, backpacks and second-hand beds or couches brought home recently are common sources.

Tell your agent or landlord in writing as soon as you find bed bugs, and do not move furniture out or throw a mattress onto the street, which spreads them. Who pays usually depends on where the infestation came from, so get advice from your agent or NSW Fair Trading. Our blog covers who pays in rentals and Airbnbs.
The sooner the better. Bed bugs cross between apartments via cavities and shared corridors, so early action avoids a building-wide job. We deal with the tenant and provide you a written report.
They arrive in guests' luggage. Checking mattress seams and headboards at each changeover catches them before the next booking. Block the calendar until both treatment and follow-up are finished.
Unpack in the laundry. Wash and tumble-dry on high heat, and go over the suitcase seams before storing the case anywhere near 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.
Written instructions cover laundry, clutter and belongings, so the treatment can reach every harbourage without moving bugs elsewhere.
Heat and suitable products go onto mattress seams, bed bases, headboards and any upholstered furniture.
Skirting, carpet edges, power point surrounds, bedside furniture and curtain rails all receive 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.
The job closes with a written summary, encasement and monitoring advice, and what to do if you spot activity 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 | Above 45 degrees they die within the hour, and at 60 degrees or more immediately - Healthdirect's figures | Limited to washable items; no effect on the bed frame or the rest of the room |
| 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 | Continues working in crevices as the hatch emerges and moves | Needs accurate placement plus a scheduled follow-up |
| 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 | Seal bugs in and make later inspections far simpler | They support a treatment rather than replacing one |

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.
Keep the laundry bagged and sealed, taking items as you need them. Drawers stay empty until after the follow-up.
A few bites over the first fortnight are normal while eggs hatch. Write down the dates and the locations on the body so we can assess progress.
Bites rising rather than falling at two weeks, or live bugs in an untreated room - ring 1300 313 373.

Apartment stock concentrates waste and warmth into shared spaces - chutes, bin rooms, plant rooms - and that is what sustains bed bugs here. The flat you live in is usually not the source.
Unit stock, so the method is gels and baits placed into cavities rather than anything sprayed across shared surfaces.
