Bed bugs do not only live in beds. Anyone who naps on the couch or sleeps there while the bedroom is out of action can bring bugs into the lounge room, and second-hand couches from markets or online sales are a common way bugs arrive in Brisbane homes in the first place. Once they are in a couch, they settle into the seams, under the cushions, in the frame joints and beneath the fabric lining on the underside.
The crew we book removes the cushions and works through each one with dry steam, paying attention to zips, piping and stitching. They then turn the couch to steam and treat the frame, the base fabric and the gaps where the arms meet the seat. A crack and crevice spray may go into the timber frame joints where steam cannot reach deeply, and nearby skirting and floor gaps are checked too, since bugs often move a short distance away from the furniture during the day.
Leather and fabric couches are treated differently, so tell us the material when you call. Recliners and sofa beds have more moving parts and places for bugs to sit, so they take a little longer. A second visit about two weeks later lets the crew steam the couch again and catch any bugs that have hatched from eggs tucked deep in the stitching. Keep using the couch as normal between visits, since moving it to another room can spread bugs.
