What bed bug treatment costs in New Zealand

What drives the price

• How many rooms are affected
• How far it's spread beyond the bed - frames, skirting, adjacent furniture, wall fittings
• Whether it's a house, a flat in a shared building, or accommodation with multiple units
• How much preparation is done before we arrive

Why it's two visits, not one

Bed bug eggs are not reliably killed by the initial treatment. A batch hatches in the days and weeks afterwards, and if nothing is there to meet them you're back where you started with a smaller head start.

A follow-up timed to that hatch is the difference between a treatment that works and one that nearly works. Anyone quoting a guaranteed single-visit fix on an established infestation is either using a method that isn't what we do or is going to be back.

Preparation is worth real money

This is the one pest where what you do beforehand materially changes the result. Laundering bedding on a hot wash, clearing access around beds and skirting, and not moving infested items to other rooms all make treatment more effective - and moving a mattress through the house is the single most common way a one-room problem becomes a three-room one.

We give you specific preparation instructions when you book. Following them properly is the cheapest thing you can do about the cost.

Don't throw the mattress out yet

Most mattresses can be treated and kept. Disposing of one risks spreading bed bugs through the rest of the house on the way to the skip, and then you've paid for a mattress and still have the problem. Ask before you get rid of anything.
