Overview
Bed bugs are one of the harder pests to face, mostly because of the worry that comes with them. They are small reddish-brown insects that feed at night and hide by day in mattress seams, bed frames, headboards, and the cracks around a bed. The first most people notice is a run of small bites in lines, dark specks on the sheets, or the bugs themselves along a mattress edge.
They are not a sign of a dirty home. Bed bugs travel in on luggage, second-hand furniture, and through the shared walls of units and townhouses, which is why they turn up in tidy houses, hotels, and accommodation alike. Our job is to confirm what you are dealing with and treat it, not to judge how it got there.
Every job starts with an inspection to find the harbourage points, then a combination of heat and chemical treatment applied to those areas rather than a blanket spray. Heat earns its keep on timber furniture and bed frames, where bugs and eggs tuck into cracks that liquid product struggles to reach. Because eggs can hatch after the first visit, bed bug work includes a follow-up. Homes, rentals, hotels, and accommodation providers all get the same discreet, methodical treatment.
At a glance
01
Bites alone are easy to mistake for fleas, mosquitoes, or a skin reaction, so the first step is confirmation. The technician inspects the mattress seams, bed frame, headboard, and nearby skirting for live bugs, pale shed skins, dark faecal spotting, and eggs.
Knowing exactly what is there, and how far it has spread, is what lets us treat the right places instead of guessing.
02
Bed bugs shelter deep in seams, joints, cracks, and the frame of the bed, which is why surface sprays and shop-bought bombs so often fail or simply scatter them into the next room. We treat those harbourage points directly with a combination of heat and chemical treatment. Heat is especially effective on wooden furniture and bed frames, where the cracks and joints that shelter bugs and eggs sit beyond the reach of liquid product.
The aim is to reach where the bugs actually live and breed, so the population is dealt with at the source rather than the few you happen to see.
03
A little preparation makes the treatment far more effective. Laundering bedding and affected clothing and drying it on the hottest safe setting kills bugs and eggs on fabric, and clearing clutter around the bed removes hiding places and opens up the seams for treatment.
We send a simple prep list beforehand, and we ask that you do not shift items into other rooms, since that is how an infestation spreads.
04
Bed bug eggs are resilient, and a single treatment rarely reaches every one. A follow-up a couple of weeks after the first visit catches the bugs that have hatched since, before they can breed and restart the cycle.
We plan this into the job from the start, so you are not left watching for a second wave on your own. Treatment pricing is quoted to the job once the extent is confirmed.
Safety and property care
Bed bug treatment stays focused on the bed and the room around it, using registered products at the harbourage points rather than a general spray through the house.
Licensed, accredited, trusted
Every treatment is carried out by a QBCC-licensed, accredited technician. We list our licence and accreditation details so homeowners, landlords, and property managers can verify them directly.

Thanks to Tom, great job, highly recommend.
Andy completed a pest inspection at our property in Brisbane and his knowledge is second to none. He is very friendly and genuine and provided a great service. At the end of the pest inspection, he showed us through his findings and talked through different pest control methods and some things we could do to help lessen the chance of any termites finding the property attractive.
Myself and my husband highly recommend Andy and Sarah, this is our 2nd time using their pest control services and we have had no problems with pests returning until we were due our next yearly service. They take extreme pride in their work and are very informative on the types of pests and what to use and not use.
Excellent service for a pre purchase pest inspection in Brisbane. Communication was fast and professional. The report was comprehensive, received the day of the inspection, and Andy was available to explain plainly any questions I had. I would definitely use Bruin again in future.
Engaged Bruin to do a pest inspection and they were fantastic. They were available very quickly (next day) and were so easy to deal with. The inspector was professional and very polite. The report was available that day and was easy to understand. Their advice was so helpful, not just for our house purchase, but for dealing with the property into the future.
My husband and I engaged Bruin to complete our pre-purchase pest inspection. We were extremely happy with the service offered by both the office staff and Andy. All were friendly, professional and thorough. Andy met my husband Wayne onsite and explained things clearly. We had our report later the same day. We highly recommend the Bruin team.
Common questions
The usual signs are small bites in rows or lines on skin that was exposed overnight, tiny blood spots and dark specks on sheets, and a sweetish musty smell in a badly affected room. Look along mattress seams, the bed frame, and the headboard for live bugs, pale shed skins, and clusters of eggs. Because bites alone can be mistaken for other insects, an inspection is the surest way to confirm it.
Yes, in almost every case. Bed bugs hide deep in mattress seams, bed frames, skirting, and cracks that surface sprays never reach, and they can survive months between feeds. A professional inspects to confirm the infestation, treats the harbourage points directly with a combination of heat and chemical product, and plans a follow-up to catch bugs that hatch after the first visit. Store-bought bombs tend to scatter them into neighbouring rooms rather than clear them.
Launder your bedding and any affected clothing, then dry it on the hottest setting the fabric allows, since heat kills bugs and eggs. Reduce clutter around the bed so there are fewer places to hide and the technician can reach the seams and frame. Do not move items into another room, as that can spread the problem. We give you a simple prep list before the visit so nothing is missed.
No, and this is worth saying plainly. Bed bugs are hitchhikers that travel in luggage, second-hand furniture, and along shared walls in units and townhouses, so they turn up in spotless homes, hotels, and accommodation just as readily as anywhere else. Having them is not a reflection on your cleaning. Our service is discreet, and the focus is simply on finding every harbourage point and treating it.
Because bed bug eggs are tough and a single treatment rarely reaches every one. Eggs already laid can hatch after the first visit, so a follow-up a couple of weeks later catches the newly emerged bugs before they can breed and start the cycle again. We plan this into the job rather than leaving you to notice a fresh outbreak. Pricing is quoted to the job once we have confirmed the extent.
