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.
