Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Woollahra.
Woollahra sits about 3.7 km south-east of the CBD in the Eastern Suburbs, and postcode 2025 is one we are in most weeks. Our technicians are through Woollahra most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Most weeks we are somewhere between Double Bay Beach and Westfield Bondi Junction in Woollahra, and Woollahra Golf Club is close enough to be on the same run.
This is the Waverley, Randwick and Woollahra area, and our runs here also take in Bondi Junction, Double Bay and Bellevue Hill. Being this close to the coast, sub-floors and ground-floor bathrooms stay damp most of the year, which is the condition that keeps activity going.
Around Woollahra the pattern is fairly consistent: ground-floor units with a damp sub-floor, and houses where the garage sits below the living level. Tell us which it is on the phone and we will come prepared for it.
The rest of 2025 is covered too, including the pockets around Bondi Junction station and Raoul Wallenberg Garden.
When you book, we confirm the 2025 run the day before and give you an arrival time rather than a window. If we are already out at Bondi Junction or Double Bay that morning, we will usually offer you the earlier slot.
Bed bugs are flat enough to sit in a screw hole. In a Woollahra bedroom that means the bed frame joints, the slats, behind the headboard, the skirting and anything within about a metre of where someone sleeps.
A straightforward Woollahra 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.
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.
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 | 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 and darker - easily taken for an adult | Shelters in the same cracks as the adults, near the bed | Found by going through seams, joints and screw holes on the 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.
Lift each corner and check the seams, labels and piping carefully - live bugs, pale eggs, and the pale skins they shed.
Clusters of small brown-black spots that smear like ink are bed bug droppings. Tiny blood spots on sheets are another sign.
Joints, screw holes and the reverse of the headboard need checking, particularly on slatted or upholstered bases.
Anything within two metres - bedside drawers, skirting, curtains, power points, picture frames - is worth inspecting.
Roughly 1 in 5 people do not react at all, and reactions can lag by up to 9 days - Healthdirect's figures. Finding the bed bug is the confirmation.
Luggage seams and backpacks, plus recently acquired second-hand beds and couches, are where they commonly arrive from.
A licensed Sydney technician will talk it through and give you a fixed quote within half an hour.
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.
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.
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 get written instructions for laundry, clutter and belongings, so the treatment reaches every hiding place without spreading bugs.
Mattress seams, bed bases, headboards and upholstered furniture are treated with heat and suitable products.
We apply a residual treatment to the skirting, carpet edges, around power points, the bedside furniture and the 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 | 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 all stages it reaches including eggs, no residue on the mattress | Provides no continuing protection if they return from elsewhere |
| 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 | Effective on a bug you hit directly | Hidden bugs and eggs are missed, and the rest can be pushed 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 |
More detail in our guide to heat vs chemical bed bug treatment.
Keep sleeping in the bed. Your presence draws surviving and newly hatched bugs over the treated areas, whereas an empty room lets them sit tight.
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 over the first fortnight are normal while eggs hatch. Write down the dates and the locations on the body so we can assess progress.
Call 1300 313 373 if bites are going up rather than down after a fortnight, or you find live bugs in an untreated room.
Bed bugs do not fly or jump. They walk - along skirting, through wall cavities, under doors and up service risers - which is why a problem in one Woollahra apartment can appear in the one next door weeks later.
Proactive inspection of high-turnover rooms is far cheaper than reactive treatment plus the review that follows.
Luggage is the number one route. A case placed on a hotel bed or a luggage rack picks them up, and they are in a Woollahra bedroom that night.
The insect gets found first - plenty of rashes and bites turn out to be something else entirely.
The follow-up is scheduled from the outset, timed to the egg hatch.
Discreet, professional attendance for rentals, short-stay listings and accommodation.
Preparation instructions, the fixed price and the warranty terms all confirmed in writing.

Humidity close to the coast does not fall away in winter the way it does inland, so bed bugs here get a longer active season than they would further west.
Coastal housing here is a mix, but the damp lower level is consistent across most of it.
