Bed Bug Treatment Petrie Terrace
Petrie Terrace is a small inner suburb on the hill above Caxton Street, with old workers' cottages and busy pubs. If bed bugs have reached a Petrie Terrace bedroom, our two-visit program treats the mattress, frame, furniture and room edges, then returns for the bugs that hatch afterwards.
Anyone can get bed bugs. They hitch a ride in suitcases, handbags and second-hand furniture.

Woke Up With Bites? Start Here
Found tiny brown bugs in the mattress seam of a Petrie Terrace bedroom? Do not panic, and do not drag the mattress outside.
These steps stop them spreading until we get there.
-
1
Sleep where you always sleep
Bed bugs follow their host. A new room soon becomes a second infestation.
-
2
Keep the mattress inside
Carrying it through the house sheds eggs along the way. Most can be treated.
-
3
Hot wash, hot dry
Bag bedding and clothes, wash hot and dry on high heat for at least half an hour.
-
4
No foggers
Bug bombs drive bed bugs into walls and power points where they are harder to reach.
-
Then call us on 07 3916 7673. Answered day and night, with same day visits on most days.

How Petrie Terrace Households Spot Bed Bugs
Bed bugs keep to the bed and nearby furniture. These are the signs people find.
"Itchy welts in a line"
Bites on skin that was uncovered overnight, often in rows of three or four.
"Specks on the mattress piping"
Dark spots of digested blood along seams, slats and the bedhead.
"Blood smears on the pillowcase"
From bugs squashed during the night.
"Little empty shells"
Shed skins behind the bedhead and inside the bed frame.
"It started after we travelled"
Most infestations come home in luggage.
"The guest room has them too"
They spread when people move rooms to escape the bites.

Local Notes for Petrie Terrace
We look after homes and businesses in Petrie Terrace, postcode 4000, in the centre of the city in Inner Brisbane. Pre-war workers' cottages and Queenslanders on small blocks, with apartments and offices nearby.
Termites in old cottages, cockroaches and rats around pubs and restaurants are the regular calls.
Every Petrie Terrace job covers each bedroom, any couch someone sleeps on, and the rooms next door so the bugs cannot simply move. Petrie Terrace cottages should have subfloor vents kept clear; poor airflow under old homes attracts termites.
