Most folks that live in urban areas have had at least one experience with bedbugs. It goes with the territory. In a city where the population is in the millions like New York is, there’s almost no chance of getting through life without seeing a significant number of bugs. They go where we go, and where our pets go. Our trash and our bodily fluids provide them the sustenance they need to survive, so they’re dependent on us. Too bad we can’t write them off on our taxes. You can’t, but you might be able to write off some of the materials that you buy to prevent their appearance in our home.

There are bed bug products NYC homeowners have never heard of that could classify as essential health care devices that might possibly fall in the deductible category. We’re exterminators, not accountants, so don’t take our word for it, but ask your tax preparer if you can write off a mattress cover that keeps dangerous allergens and pests away from you while you’re sleeping and you might get lucky. The possibility could be even greater if you actually have allergic reactions to allergens and dust mites. That would make a mattress cover as vital to you as insulin is to a diabetic.

Steam and hot water eliminate bed bugs when you wash your clothes and linens, but how do you prevent eggs from hatching where they’ve been laid? Here at Broadway Exterminating we use cryonite to freeze the bedbugs and their eggs. You can also buy bug resistant laundry bags, clean your floors with cleaners designed to keep bugs out, and have your carpets shampooed with a steamer that will clear out any evidence that bugs ever existed in your home. Once all of that is done, take your pet down to the vet’s office and to have one of the cat or dog inspections for bed bugs NYC has top offer.

Bed bugs sustain themselves on blood. That’s why you wake up with all of those bite marks on you. After you steam clean your mattress, cover it with a mattress cover that doesn’t let any air in or allow bugs out. Any bed bugs that hatch from eggs you might have missed will die from starvation or suffocation in a few weeks. Remove the cover after that, steam clean again, and then put it back on. You don’t want to leave any opportunity for them to gain a foothold in your home again.

There are dozens of companies in the city that offer extermination services, but only one that can provide the residential pest control Manhattan has been relying on for over forty years now. We don’t try to get rid of pests; we do get rid of them. Our exterminators have forty years of experience, knowledge, and satisfied customers behind them to back that claim up. We challenge any other pest control company to match that. Here in the Big Apple, there just isn’t anyone else with the longevity and reputation we have established since we opened in 1971.

Are we the best? We think so. If we didn’t, you would be looking for someone else to do business with. A company that doesn’t have confidence in their own abilities can’t sell themselves to someone else. There are those who shy away from claiming to be the best. There are others who consider it cocky and self-centered. Here at Broadway Exterminating, we’re not shy and we don’t confuse confidence with cockiness. When our people leave the shop, they know they’re going to get the job done. If your home has a pest infestation, we’re going to get rid of it for you.

Another thing that makes us the best is our dedication to environmentally friendly extermination techniques. We don’t use toxic chemicals and your pets won’t be harmed by anything we leave behind. In many cases, we freeze bugs and then vacuum them away. That’s how we’ve been doing the bed bug control NYC apartment owners have been requesting from us in the past five years. Cryonite isn’t new, but it is a recent addition to the extermination business. Broadway Exterminating was one of the first to use it here in New York, and we feel its one of the best ways ever to kill bugs.

Are you seeing six legged or four legged pests? Maybe there are some critters that seem to have a thousand legs crawling on the walls or even worse, maybe there are invisible parasites biting you in the middle of the night. Whatever your infestation problem is, we can get rid of it for you. Make the call and tell us all about it. Our exterminators have seen it all, and yes, we are the best. And we don’t mind telling everyone that.

Do you know how many pest infestations in New York City begin when people take their dogs out for a walk? The number is too high to count. Pet owners don’t seem to realize that the ground your dog is so playfully rolling around on is filled with pests and parasites. These bugs sustain themselves on the blood of warm blooded mammals. When they see a dog or cat nearby that happens to be close enough to attach to, they jump on for a ride. That’s why the bed bug inspection NYC vets and pet stores offer should be a regular part of your dog’s routine.

Your pets are also victims when your home is subjected to a pest infestation. The bites that you notice on your skin when you wake up in the morning are occurring under your dog’s fur and may have been happening for quite some time. If you want your pets to be safe and comfortable, have them checked often. Those bites could also cause infections and disease. If you let it go too long, it could be too late. The conditions are preventable. It’s a simple matter of detecting the presence of bugs and eliminating them. That’s where we come in. Broadway exterminating will get the bugs out for you.

The pest control New York residents have gotten used to over the years is the old-fashioned method of spraying toxic poisons and insecticides along the walls and near any openings where bugs might get in. If you have pets, these chemicals could affect them also, so pet owners think that exterminators are a bad idea. What they don’t know is that there are now non-toxic ways to eliminate pests, like the Cryonite we use to freeze and kill bedbugs. It’s perfectly safe for your pets to be around after we’re done. There’s no danger of toxic fumes, poisoning or respiratory conditions.

It’s not easy being an exterminator in a city as large as New York. Our job is never done. As much as we’d like to eliminate every bug and rodent in every building, realistically it’s not going to happen, but we can eliminate pests in your home. Give us a call and let us know what your problem is. We have a solution for you, one that won’t hurt your pets or leave your home with an unbearable odor.

If you have a bedbug infestation we can help you, but there are certain things you’ll need to do yourself before and after we’ve completed our extermination. Like cockroaches, bedbugs are persistent and multiply quickly, so you’ll want to eliminate any live ones and their eggs, and then make sure that they won’t return. We take care of the first part using state of the art extermination techniques. The second part, the prevention, will be mainly up to you. Among other things, there are mattress covers for bedbugs NYC apartments should have. There are also procedures you should follow if you want to make your home less attractive to bedbugs.

A good mattress cover will protect you from dust mites and other allergens in addition to bedbugs. Many people sleep with these discomforts and never know what causes them, thinking that they’re just susceptible to allergies and that’s why they wake up itching or sneezing. Some think it’s a side effect of living in the city. The truth is that microscopic organisms can cause problems too. We can exterminate the bedbugs, but eliminating other causes of your ailments might require something else.

Vacuuming and steam cleaning your carpets and furniture can eliminate most insect pests. We also recommend a bed bug dog inspection NYC vets offer as part of a regular check-up. If you haven’t brought your dog to the vet in a while, bring him in. If you have bugs in the house he’s every bit as uncomfortable as you are. He might even be the reason why you have the infestation. Bugs often use dogs as a means to travel back and forth. They also make great hosts for bugs that sustain themselves on blood, especially if the owner doesn’t have them checked very often.

The most effective substance for killing bed bugs is not a chemical, its hot water. Once you have determined that you have a problem, you’ll want to call us here at Broadway Exterminating and set up an appointment for us to come and clean your home out with a steam cleaner. We’ll need you to move all furniture away from the walls and get ready to wash all you’re bedding in hot water. Bag it in plastic bags, bring it to the laundry room and wash and dry it on hot. We’ll kill them in the house and that should prevent them from coming back after we’re done.
