ABOUT US
BED BUGS
Bed bugs in Australia, primarily the common 
bed bug (Cimex lectularius), are a significant 
concern due to their ability to spread easily and 
their resistance to many forms of treatment. 
They are found across the country in various 
environments, especially in residential areas, 
hotels, and other places where people sleep.
BED BUG SAFETY TIPS
Bed bugs are tricky pests that can cause discomfort and stress when they infest your 
home or belongings. Here are some safety tips that can help you avoid bed bugs or deal 
with an infestation if one occurs:
Know the Signs: Being familiar with the signs of bed bugs is crucial. This includes 
small, itchy bites on your skin, dark spots on your mattress or bedding, a sweet, musty 
odour, and the bugs themselves. They are about the size of an apple seed and reddish-
brown.
Inspect Regularly: Regularly inspect your home for signs of bed bugs, especially if 
you’ve recently travelled or have had guests over. Pay attention to your bedroom, 
particularly around the bed and other furniture.
BED BUG SPECIES
The most typical bed bug species in Australia is Cimex lectularius, 
also known as the common bed bug. The same species is 
widespread in many other parts of the world.
Another species that might be found in Australia, particularly in the 
northern, more tropical regions, is Cimex hemipterus, also known 
as the common bed bug. It’s important to note that these species 
behave similarly, have similar life cycles, and pose the same risks 
of biting humans and causing discomfort.
Both species are nocturnal, feeding on the blood of humans and 
other warm-blooded animals, and are adept at hiding in small 
cracks and crevices during the day, usually near where people 
sleep or rest. Their small size and ability to disguise make them a 
challenging pest to control, often necessitating the assistance of 
professional pest control services.
BED BUG REMOVAL
Removing bed bugs from a property can be challenging, but it’s not 
impossible. Here is a general procedure often followed to eradicate 
bed bugs:
Confirm the Infestation: The first step is to confirm that you’re 
dealing with bed bugs. Look for physical signs such as live or dead 
bed bugs, small reddish-brown spots on bedding or furniture, shed 
skins, eggs, or bed bug feces.
Preparation: Once confirmed, you must prepare your home for 
treatment. This usually includes removing clutter, cleaning the 
infested areas, and possibly sealing cracks and crevices. Wash and 
heat-dry all bed linens, clothing, and curtains. Anything that can’t be 
washed must be dry-cleaned or thrown away. Vacuum your home 
thoroughly, including furniture, to remove bed bugs or eggs.
