Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
What we cover in The Rocks, and how quickly we can get there.
The Rocks is part of the Sydney CBD & Inner City, 1 km or so north of the GPO, and 2000 is a postcode we know well. Our technicians are through The Rocks most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
A lot of our The Rocks jobs are in the streets around Westfield 111 Castlereagh and Circular Quay station, and we are out near Barangaroo station regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
Dawes Point, Millers Point and Barangaroo are all on the same route as The Rocks. In a tower the population is usually shared. We treat your unit and tell you plainly if the source is common property, because that is what the building has to act on.
What we see in The Rocks is apartments where the problem turns out to be in the riser or the bin room rather than the flat. Describing it accurately when you book saves a second visit.
First Fleet Park and Observatory Hill Park are on the same round, which means every part of 2000 is within our area.
You get a confirmed time, not a window. We plan the 2000 run the day before, and if Dawes Point or Millers Point is on the same round there is often an earlier slot going.
Any The Rocks operator quoting a single visit for an established infestation is either very optimistic or not telling you the whole story.
A straightforward The Rocks job is two visits across two to three weeks, because the second has to land when the eggs hatch. Anyone promising one visit and done is not accounting for the eggs.
Steam handles eggs and cracks; residual product handles what walks across it afterwards. Both together is what clears a The Rocks 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 | Pearly white, about 1 mm, glued into seams and cracks | Cannot move or feed; protected inside its shell | Harder to kill than active stages, so a follow-up visit targets what hatches |
| 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 | 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.
Pull the corners up and work along every seam, label and length of piping, looking for live insects, pale eggs and shed skins.
Droppings show as clusters of tiny brown-black marks that smear like ink. Small blood spots on the sheets are a second sign.
Every joint and screw hole, plus the back of the headboard - and pay extra attention to slatted and upholstered bases.
Look at everything within a couple of metres of the bed - drawers, skirting, curtains, power points, picture frames.
About one person in five does not react, says Healthdirect, and a reaction can be up to 9 days coming. That is why we confirm by finding the bug.
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.
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.
Luggage is how they get in. A two-minute look at mattress seams and headboards between stays is what catches it early. Keep the calendar blocked until the follow-up is done.
The laundry is the place to unpack, not the bedroom. Wash and dry hot, and check the suitcase seams before the case goes under a bed.
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.
A written plan for laundry, decluttering and belongings comes first. Done properly it means the treatment reaches every hiding place.
Treatment covers mattress seams, bed bases, headboards and upholstered pieces, using heat alongside suitable products.
Residual treatment is placed into skirting, 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.
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 | Per Healthdirect, bed bugs die within an hour above 45 degrees, and instantly at 60 degrees or above | Washable items only - the bed frame and the room itself are untouched |
| Professional heat | Kills bugs and eggs it reaches, no residue on mattresses | No lasting protection if bugs return from untreated areas |
| Professional residual treatment | Keeps working in cracks and crevices as nymphs hatch and move | Needs careful placement and a follow-up visit |
| Supermarket sprays and bombs | Kill on direct contact | Do not reach hidden bugs or eggs, and can scatter them through the house |
| Mattress encasements | Trap what is inside and make the mattress easy to check | An aid to treatment, not a substitute for it |

It sounds wrong, but sleeping in the treated bed draws surviving and newly hatched bugs across treated surfaces. Moving out lets them wait.
Clean items remain in sealed bags until needed, and nothing is put back in drawers before the follow-up visit.
It is normal to get some bites early on while eggs hatch. Note when and where, because that is how we measure progress.
Get in touch on 1300 313 373 if bites are increasing after a fortnight, or you find live bugs somewhere we did not treat.
Responsibility depends on the lease and on when the infestation started, and it is frequently disputed. What helps either side in a The Rocks tenancy is a dated professional report, which we provide.
In a The Rocks unit block or a share house, bed bugs move along skirting, through power points and under doors. Treating one bedroom and ignoring the one beside it leaves the source in place.
Proactive inspection of high-turnover rooms is far cheaper than reactive treatment plus the review that follows.
We find the insect first, because many rashes and bites are not bed bugs.
The follow-up is scheduled from the outset, timed to the egg hatch.
Quiet, discreet service for rental properties, short stays and accommodation.
The preparation instructions, the price and the warranty terms are all put in writing.

Get a Free QuoteBed bug treatment starts from $119. The fixed price depends on the size of the property and how far the problem has spread, and we confirm it before we start - there is no call-out fee in The Rocks 2000. Bed bug work includes a follow-up visit and a 6-month warranty.
Same-day attendance is usually available. The Rocks sits roughly 1 km north of the CBD, inside our Sydney CBD & Inner City run, so we book a time and keep to it.
In a building this dense the population is rarely confined to one lot. Service risers, bin rooms and the cavities between units give bed bugs a route between flats, so a problem on one floor becomes a problem on three.
Unit stock, so the method is gels and baits placed into cavities rather than anything sprayed across shared surfaces.
We do all of those. A good share of the The Rocks jobs we run are tenanted or strata properties, so the written record comes as standard.
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.
In the great majority of jobs, no. If one area needs to be left for an hour or two we say so before we start rather than after.
Allow an hour to two hours for most properties. A bigger building, or one where the problem has spread, takes longer - and we would rather tell you that when quoting than rush it.
Bed bug work includes a follow-up visit and a 6-month warranty. That is the point of the warranty - you do not pay twice for the same problem.
All of them. The Rocks sits alongside Dawes Point, Millers Point, Barangaroo and Sydney in our coverage, and they are serviced on the same schedule.
