A mattress does not always need to be thrown out because of bed bugs. Mattress treatment focuses on the seams, piping and any gaps where bugs and eggs tend to gather, using methods suited to that particular mattress. In many Toowong homes, a cover built to seal in bed bugs is fitted once the mattress has been treated, stopping bites while any bugs left inside eventually die off in the weeks after treatment. The cover itself is checked periodically to make sure it has not torn or come loose at a seam.
The crew we book will check the mattress condition first. Badly affected mattresses, especially older ones with a lot of wear, sagging or torn fabric, may be better off replaced, while a mattress in reasonable shape is often a good candidate for treatment and a cover instead. You will be told which option suits your Toowong bedroom before anything is decided, and the choice is always left with you rather than pushed one way or the other.
Bases and frames need a look too, since bugs often move into the joints of a bed frame or the underside of a base. Treating the mattress alone without checking the frame can leave bugs behind, which is why the full setup gets a look during the visit. Bunk beds and trundles get the same treatment, since the extra joints and gaps in these frames can hide just as many bugs as a typical base.
