Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Shalvey.
If you are in Shalvey or anywhere else in 2770, you are in our Blacktown & Mount Druitt patch, 40.5 km north-west of the CBD. We travel out to Shalvey on planned runs through the Blacktown & Mount Druitt, so booking a day ahead gets you the best slot.
Most weeks we are somewhere between Van Diemen Park and Yiraaldiya National Park in Shalvey, and Emerton Village is close enough to be on the same run.
Shalvey is in the Blacktown City area, and we cover Lethbridge Park, Willmot and Blackett on the same runs - handy if you own more than one property or your bed bug problem has come from next door. On a newer estate the houses are near-identical and tightly spaced, which means a problem in one tends to turn up in the ones either side.
Most Shalvey bookings come in as recently built homes where the activity started at the boundary. Say which one applies when you call 1300 313 373 and the technician will have the right products on the van.
Beyond that we cover the rest of 2770, including the streets around Tandarra Park.
Your appointment is confirmed the day before with a real arrival time. Because Lethbridge Park and Willmot are covered on the same round, 2770 often has an earlier slot available.
Bed bugs are flat enough to sit in a screw hole. In a Shalvey bedroom that means the bed frame joints, the slats, behind the headboard, the skirting and anything within about a metre of where someone sleeps.
Bed bug populations in Australia show real resistance to some older insecticide groups, which is one reason a single chemical approach can fail. We rotate actives and combine heat with residual rather than relying on one product.
Steam handles eggs and cracks; residual product handles what walks across it afterwards. Both together is what clears a Shalvey room.
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 cream-coloured, turning red after feeding | Takes a blood meal before each of several moults | Reaching you means crossing the treated surfaces, which is how the residual works |
| Older nymph | Bigger, darker, and hard to tell from an adult | In the same cracks as the adults, close to the bed | Seams, joints and screw holes in the frame are where we look |
| 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.
Check the piping, the seams and the labels, corner by corner. That is where live bugs, eggs and shed skins collect.
Small brown-black spots in clusters, smearing like ink when wiped, are droppings. Pinpoint blood spots on the sheets point the same way.
Check joints, screw holes and the back of the headboard, especially slatted and upholstered bases.
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.
Most infestations arrive in luggage or on second-hand furniture: check suitcase seams, backpacks, and any recent used bed or sofa.

Report it to the agent or landlord in writing the day you find it. Leave the furniture where it is and do not put a mattress out on the street - that spreads them. Cost responsibility depends on where it started, so ask your agent or NSW Fair Trading. Our blog explains 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 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.
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.
First we confirm it is bed bugs, going through the bed, furniture and room with a torch and mapping the spread into adjoining rooms.
We give you a written prep plan for laundry, clutter and possessions - it is what lets the treatment reach everywhere without spreading them.
Treatment covers mattress seams, bed bases, headboards and upholstered pieces, using heat alongside suitable products.
Targeted residual into the skirting boards, carpet edges, power point surrounds, bedside furniture and curtain rails.
The follow-up is scheduled to coincide with eggs hatching, so the nymphs that survived the first visit are dealt with.
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 | 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 | Eggs and bugs both die where the heat reaches, with no residue | No lasting barrier, so untreated areas can reinfest |
| 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 | Kill whatever is sprayed directly | Never reach hidden bugs or eggs, and can drive them into other rooms |
| Mattress encasements | Trap bugs within the mattress and simplify checking later | Part of a program rather than a treatment on their own |

Stay in the bed, odd as that sounds. Survivors and newly hatched bugs come to you across treated surfaces; if you leave, they wait you out.
Clean clothes stay in sealed bags, taken out as required. Hold off returning anything to drawers until after the follow-up visit.
A few bites across the first two weeks is usual during the hatch. Note dates and body locations for us.
Two weeks on with bites rising rather than falling, or live bugs in an untreated room, means a call to 1300 313 373.
For a Shalvey hotel, motel or short-stay, discretion and speed matter as much as the treatment. We attend unmarked and work around your bookings.
Movement is slow and on foot, but persistent. In a Shalvey block they use the same cavities and risers the wiring does, so adjoining lots are always worth checking.
Where walls are shared we will tell you honestly if the neighbouring unit needs doing too, even though that is a conversation nobody enjoys.
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.
Low-key and professional, which matters for rentals, short-stay properties and accommodation.
The preparation instructions, the price and the warranty terms are all put in writing.
