Before anything gets applied, we do a thorough inspection — identifying the pest, locating harborage points, and assessing the severity of the infestation. That step isn’t optional. It’s what makes the treatment accurate instead of just thorough.
From there, most infestations in New York City require two to four chemical treatment sessions over three to six weeks. That’s not a sales tactic — it’s the biology. Bed bug eggs aren’t always eliminated in the first application, and newly hatched nymphs will emerge 7 to 10 days later. The follow-up visits close that window. They’re built into the plan from the start.
We use EPA-approved, NYSDEC-registered materials — dusts, liquids, and aerosols with crevice tips — applied precisely where bed bugs hide, not just where they’re visible. For most chemical treatments, you’ll need to vacate the unit for two to four hours while the application dries and ventilates. After that window, the space is safe for your family and pets.
