Bed bugs are not limited to the bed itself. Couches, armchairs, bedside tables, drawers and even skirting boards near furniture can all shelter them, which is why a bed bug job in Fortitude Valley often includes more than just the mattress. Furniture treatment looks at the pieces closest to where people sleep or sit for long periods, since that is where bed bugs are most likely to have spread.
The crew we book will check joints, seams, drawer runners and the underside of furniture, since these tight spots are where bed bugs tend to settle during the day. In Fortitude Valley, homes range from units with built-in wardrobes to older houses with freestanding furniture passed down over the years, and the approach changes depending on what needs checking. Freestanding pieces are easier to move and treat fully, while built-in furniture needs a closer look at the frame and any gaps where it meets the wall or floor.
If a piece of furniture is heavily affected, the crew will talk to you honestly about whether treating it makes sense or whether it may be better to replace it, rather than spending time on something unlikely to hold up.
