Bed Bug control

Waking up with itchy bites or noticing blood spots on your sheets? You could be dealing with a bed bug infestation. At Pest Guard Pro, we provide expert bed bug control in Melbourne using safe, proven, and thorough methods to eliminate every last bug—fast.

Bed bugs are a growing problem across Melbourne suburbs, especially in hotels, apartments, and high-density housing. If left untreated, they spread quickly and are notoriously difficult to eradicate without professional help.

What Are Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are small, flat, oval-shaped insects that feed on human blood while you sleep. They hide in cracks and crevices near beds, mattresses, headboards, and furniture—and can go undetected for weeks.

✅ Adult bed bugs are about 5–7 mm long

✅ Reddish-brown, becoming darker after feeding

✅ Can survive for months without feeding

Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation

• Red, itchy bites on arms, legs, or back (often in a line or cluster)

• Blood stains on sheets or pillowcases

• Dark faecal spots on mattresses, bed frames, or nearby furniture

• Shed skins or tiny white eggs in mattress seams

• Musty or sweet odour in infested rooms

• Visible bed bugs hiding in cracks, mattress seams, or curtain folds

⚠️ Bed bugs don’t spread disease, but their bites can cause allergic reactions, anxiety, and sleepless nights.

How Bed Bugs Spread in Melbourne

Bed bugs are expert hitchhikers. In Melbourne, we frequently treat bed bug infestations caused by:

• Travel and hotel stays

• Second-hand furniture or mattresses

• Shared laundry facilities

• Multi-unit dwellings (apartments, student housing, etc.)

Even the cleanest homes can get bed bugs—they’re not a hygiene issue.
