Question 1

What are the first signs of a bed bug infestation?

Accepted Answer

Itchy, red bites often lined up in a row on exposed skin while you sleep; tiny dark rust-coloured spots on sheets, mattresses and pillow seams; small pale-yellow eggs or shed skins in mattress creases, bed frames and skirting boards; and a faint sweet musty smell near the bed. If you spot any of these, act fast — bed bugs multiply quickly.

Question 2

How does Zeb Clean treat a bed bug problem?

Accepted Answer

We start with a full inspection of the bedroom and surrounding rooms to confirm the infestation and its spread. We then apply a targeted treatment to mattresses, bed frames, skirtings, headboards, furniture joints and carpets, followed by a second follow-up visit after 2–3 weeks to catch any newly-hatched bugs and break the breeding cycle.

Question 3

Heat treatment or chemical treatment — which do you use?

Accepted Answer

Both, depending on the job. Heat treatment raises infested zones to a temperature bed bugs and their eggs can't survive, and is great for immediate knock-down with no chemical residue. Chemical treatment uses approved, family-safe insecticides that keep killing for weeks after we leave. For stubborn or large infestations we combine the two for the highest success rate.

Question 4

How long does a full bed bug treatment take?

Accepted Answer

A typical treatment takes 2–4 hours on site depending on the number of rooms and severity. Plan for two visits about 2–3 weeks apart — the first kills the active bugs and eggs, the follow-up catches any that hatched after the first round. Most homes are fully clear within 3–4 weeks.

Question 5

How soon can I sleep in the room after treatment?

Accepted Answer

After a chemical treatment, wait 3–4 hours and air the room well before sleeping in it. After a heat treatment the room is safe immediately once it has cooled. We'll give you exact re-entry guidance for your specific treatment on the day.

Question 6

What should I do to prepare before the Zeb Clean team arrives?

Accepted Answer

Strip all bedding and wash it on the hottest setting, then bag it separately. Clear clutter from under the bed and around skirtings so we can reach every hiding spot. Move furniture slightly away from walls where possible, and keep pets and people out of the rooms being treated. We send a full prep checklist with your booking confirmation.

Question 7

Are your bed bug treatments safe for children and pets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use approved, family-safe products and targeted application so only the infested zones are treated. We'll advise on how long to keep children and pets out of treated rooms, and we never leave residue on surfaces you touch daily.

Question 8

What if the bed bugs come back after treatment?

Accepted Answer

That's exactly why we include a follow-up visit. The second treatment targets any bugs that hatched after the first round. If you still see signs after both visits, call us within the guarantee window and we'll return at no extra cost to finish the job.
