Bug bug FAQ

How did bed bugs get into my home?

It’s a common reaction to ‘feel dirty’ if you find out you’ve been sharing your bed with bed bugs! However, suffering from a bed bug infestation rarely has anything to do with how clean your home is – even 5-star hotels can get bed bugs! More often than not bed bugs find their way into your home by hitching a ride on your luggage.

What about bed bug heat treatments?

Bed bug heat treatments are an alternative method to get rid of bed bugs. It involved heating up the room to 60C or more for 5-6 hours. Although it can be successful, it takes a lot longer than a chemical treatment and there can be issues with the heat damaging items in the room. They can be particularly useful in areas where there are insecticide resistant bed bugs. Fortunately for use in Central Victoria, we find chemical treatments are still highly effective.
