Bed bugs do not only live in bedrooms. If someone naps on the couch, sleeps on it after a late night, or a guest has used it as a bed, bed bugs can settle in the lounge room too. A couch bed bug inspection looks closely at sofas, armchairs, recliners and sofa beds in homes across Brisbane.
Couches have a lot of places for small insects to tuck into. The crew we book lifts the cushions, checks zips and seams, and looks under the frame where the fabric is stapled to the timber. Recliners and sofa beds get extra time, since their moving parts leave gaps that are hard to see into.
- Seams, piping and zips on each cushion
- Buttons, folds and the joins between the back and seat
- The underside of the frame and the fabric staples
- Mechanisms in recliners and sofa beds
- Nearby rugs, skirting boards and side tables
Once the check is done, the crew tells you what they found and where. A clear couch means you can relax. If there are signs of bed bugs, the crew explains the choices, such as steam treatment for the fabric and joins, and roughly what that would involve. Please do not move the couch to another room or put it out on the kerb before the visit, as that can spread bed bugs to new spots. Leave cushions and throws where they are, too.
Couch checks can be added to a bedroom inspection or booked on their own anywhere in Brisbane. Let us have the number of couches and armchairs when you ring, so the visit is priced to match. Call 07 3543 7767 for upfront pricing and a time that suits you.
