Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Rodd Point.
Rodd Point sits about 6.1 km west of the CBD in the Inner West, and postcode 2046 is one we are in most weeks. Our technicians are through Rodd Point most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Our Rodd Point work takes in the streets by Nield Park and Leichhardt Park Aquatic Centre, through to Leichhardt North station at the other end.
Rodd Point is in the Inner West, Burwood, Strathfield and Canada Bay area, and we cover Russell Lea, Five Dock and Wareemba on the same runs - handy if you own more than one property or your bed bug problem has come from next door. Terraces, semis and converted blocks share cavities and risers, which is why a single-unit treatment often does not hold on its own.
The bed bug calls we take from Rodd Point are mostly older semis with a paved rear courtyard and a sub-floor that no longer dries out. If yours is one of them, mention it when you ring 1300 313 373 - it changes what the technician brings.
Every part of 2046 is covered as standard.
Targeted application to harbourage - frame joints, slats, skirting, bed head - combined with steam where product cannot reach. Fogging a Rodd Point room does almost nothing because it never reaches where they are.
Expect two to three weeks end to end. The gap between visits is deliberate - it is timed to the hatch, not to our schedule.
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.
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 | A pearly white speck about 1 mm, glued into seams | No movement, no feeding, and protected inside the shell | Harder to reach than the active stages, so the return visit catches 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 | Larger and darker, often mistaken for a full adult | Uses the same cracks as adults, always close to the bed | Located by inspecting the frame's seams, joints and screw holes |
| 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.
Joints, screw holes and the reverse of the headboard need checking, particularly on slatted or upholstered bases.
Look at everything within a couple of metres of the bed - drawers, skirting, curtains, power points, picture frames.
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.
Check suitcase seams and backpacks, and think about any second-hand bed or sofa that has come into the house recently.

Tell the agent or landlord in writing as soon as you confirm it, and leave the furniture and mattress exactly where they are - moving them spreads the problem. Payment usually depends on the source; ask your agent or NSW Fair Trading, and read who pays in rentals and Airbnbs.
Speed matters here. In a block they spread through wall cavities and corridors, and an early single-unit treatment is a fraction of the cost of a building-wide one. We can work directly with the tenant and send you the report.
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.
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.
First we confirm it is bed bugs, going through the bed, furniture and room with a torch and mapping the spread into adjoining rooms.
You receive written preparation instructions covering laundry, clutter and belongings, so nothing is missed and nothing gets spread.
Treatment covers mattress seams, bed bases, headboards and upholstered pieces, using heat alongside suitable products.
The room itself gets a residual: skirting boards, carpet edges, around power points, bedside furniture, curtain rails.
A return visit re-inspects and re-treats, timed so it catches nymphs hatching from eggs that came through 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 | 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 | 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 | Remains active in cracks and crevices, catching nymphs as they hatch and move | Placement has to be right, and a follow-up visit is necessary |
| Supermarket sprays and bombs | Work on bugs sprayed at directly | Miss concealed bugs and eggs entirely, and spread them to other rooms |
| Mattress encasements | Contain any bugs inside and simplify future checks | Useful alongside treatment, but not a treatment in themselves |
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.
Keep the laundry bagged and sealed, taking items as you need them. Drawers stay empty until after the follow-up.
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 are increasing rather than decreasing after two weeks, or you find live bugs in a room that was not treated. 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 Rodd Point home.
They travel on things more often than under their own power: a bag set on an infested bed, a mattress carried down a Rodd Point stairwell, a couch moved between rooms. That is why we tell you not to move furniture out.
For Rodd Point short-stay operators turnover is the risk - rooms change hands weekly. A monitoring program costs a fraction of a bad review.
Nothing is treated until we have the insect, since many bites and rashes are not bed bugs at all.
The second visit, timed to the hatch, is included - you should not have to chase it.
Low-key and professional, which matters for rentals, short-stay properties and accommodation.
Written preparation instructions, a fixed price, and the warranty terms set out clearly.

Older inner suburbs combine shared structure with ageing drainage, and bed bugs exploit both. Rear courtyards that have been paved over make it worse by trapping damp against the walls.
