Bed bugs are built to squeeze into narrow spaces. An adult can fit into a crack about the thickness of a credit card, and during the day most of them sit tucked into joints, gaps and holes close to the bed. Crevice treatment targets those places directly. It is part of nearly every bed bug removal job the crew we book carries out in Brisbane.
The crew uses a fine nozzle to apply a targeted spray into cracks in the bed frame, screw holes, slat joints, the backs of bedside tables and drawer runners. Along the skirting, they treat the gap between the board and the floor and any cracks where the board meets the wall. For wall voids, power points and light switches, they use a fine dust instead, puffed in with a hand duster once the power is off at the board. Window frames, door frames and the edges of carpet near the bed get checked and treated as well.
Older homes with timber floors, VJ walls and gappy skirting usually need more crevice work than newer builds. Units need close attention along shared walls. The crew keeps treatment to the cracks and gaps rather than spraying open surfaces, and tells you how long to keep people and pets out of the room afterwards. Avoid heavy vacuuming or mopping along the skirting until after the second visit. Pets should stay out of treated rooms until surfaces are dry.
