Bed Bug Treatment
Are Bed Bugs Infesting Your Home or Business?
Bed bugs spread quickly and can hide deep within mattresses, furniture, bed frames, carpets and wall cavities. Because they are nocturnal and highly resilient, infestations are extremely difficult to eliminate without professional treatment.
Surekill Pest control provides safe, thorough bed bug treatments for residential and commercial properties. Our licensed technicians carry out detailed inspections to confirm activity, identify harbourage areas and apply targeted treatments designed to eliminate bed bugs at all life stages. By combining professional-grade products with proven treatment methods, we help reduce the risk of reinfestation and restore comfort to your property.

Treatment Process
At Surekill Pest Control, we use a thorough, targeted and integrated approach to Bed Bug infestations. Our licensed technicians combine approved chemical treatments with non-chemical control methods to achieve effective and long-lasting results. Each treatment plan is tailored to the level of infection and the layout of your property.
Residual Spray Treatment
Targeted insecticide treatments are applied to
-
Skirting boards and bed frames
-
Cracks, crevices, and wall junctions
-
Furniture joints and harbourage areas
These residual treatments are designed to eliminate active bed bugs as they emerge from hiding places.
Aerosol & Precision Application
Specialist aerosol products are used for:
-
Hard-to-reach areas
-
Furniture seams and joints
-
Carpet edges and rug perimeters
This helps disrupt bed bug breeding cycles and reduces egg hatch survival.
Professional Bed Bug Steam Treatment
High-temperature steam is applied to:
-
Mattresses and bed bases
-
Upholstered furniture
-
Seams, folds and fabric surfaces
Steam penetrates deep harbourage areas and is highly effective at killing both bed bugs and their eggs without chemical residue.
Room Monitoring System
Discreet monitoring system as the monitoring device is installed near sleeping ares usually at the head of the bed to:
-
Detect ongoing or re-emerging activity
-
Confirm treatment effectiveness
-
Support long-term control and peace of mind.
06
After Treatment
Pest Management Plan
Discuss your next treatment and any other pest concerns with our Technician. For managing bed bugs effectively, we recommend installing a room monitoring system. This system is ideal for commercial businesses such as accommodation facilities, movie theatres, and airplanes, providing continuous monitoring to ensure early detection and prevention of infestation.
After the Technician has finished the treatment:
-
Avoid Contact - Stay off treated surfaces until they are completely dry.
-
Ventilate - open windows and ventilate rooms before using them again.

How to Keep Bed Bugs Away
Reduce Clutter in Sleeping Areas
Keep bedrooms tidy and minimise clutter around beds to reduce hiding places and make early detection easier.
Regularly Inspect Bedding and Furniture
Check mattress seams, bed frames, bedside tables, and upholstered furniture for signs of bed bugs, especially after travel.
Be Cautious When Travelling
Inspect hotel mattresses and headboards, keep luggage off beds and floors, and wash clothing in hot water immediately after returning home.
Avoid Second-Hand Furniture Without Inspection
Carefully inspect or avoid second-hand mattresses, bed frames, lounges, and soft furnishings before bringing them into your home.
Use Mattress and Pillow Protectors
Encasements help prevent bend bugs from harbouring in mattresses and make detection easier.
Report Early Signs Immediately
If bites or activity are noticed, contact a licensed pest controller promptly. Early intervention prevents spread.
