When you find bed bugs in a home you’ve owned for years a brick colonial off New Hyde Park Road, a Cape Cod near the Herricks border, a ranch house you raised your kids in it hits differently than a rental situation. You’re not waiting on a landlord. You’re deciding right now what to do about a problem that’s spreading while you think about it.
The good news is that a properly treated home stays treated. After we complete your bed bug removal in New Hyde Park, you’re not left guessing whether the problem is gone. The process is thorough, the follow-up is built in, and you’ll know exactly what was done and why. No vague promises, no “call us if it comes back” and hope for the best.
New Hyde Park’s mid-century housing stock homes built in the 1940s through 1960s with settled walls, established baseboards, and decades of accumulated furniture creates more hiding spots than a newer build would. That’s not a reason to panic. It’s a reason to hire someone who actually understands how bed bugs behave in these structures, not someone running a checklist. With over 40 years of experience treating homes across New York City and Long Island, we know exactly what these homes look like from the inside and where to find what you can’t see.
Kingsway Exterminating Company has been operating in the New York City metro area since before most New Hyde Park homeowners moved into their current homes. Founded by Richard Kourbage and BBB-accredited since May 5, 1989, we’re a family-owned business with over 40 years of continuous operation and more than 100 years of collective staff experience. That’s not a marketing number it’s the actual depth of knowledge that shows up when a technician walks through your door.
We’re certified specifically as bed bug specialists, which matters more than it might sound. The EPA recommends hiring a Pest Management Professional with documented bed bug experience not a general exterminator who handles bed bugs between termite jobs. We’re fully licensed under New York State Department of Environmental Conservation requirements, bonded, insured, and operating with a no-upsell approach that customers have specifically called out in verified reviews.
We serve Brooklyn, all five boroughs, and Long Island including Nassau County communities like New Hyde Park, North New Hyde Park, Garden City Park, and Herricks. This is our territory, and we know it well.
It starts with a call one that gets answered any time of day or night, including Sunday evenings when you’ve just pulled back the mattress and found something you didn’t want to find. We offer same-day inspections when possible and guarantee an appointment within two days. For a bed bug infestation, that timing matters. These bugs reproduce fast, and every day without a treatment plan is a day the problem grows.
The inspection comes first. A certified specialist walks through your home, identifies the extent of the infestation, and gives you a clear, honest picture of what you’re dealing with. No inflated scope, no pressure to add services you don’t need. In New Hyde Park’s single-family homes especially the older builds with established wall voids, wooden bed frames, and layered furniture a thorough inspection covers more ground than a quick visual scan. We know where bed bugs hide in these structures because we’ve been treating them for decades.
From there, your treatment plan is built around what your home actually needs. That typically involves a combination of residual chemical application, steam treatment, and targeted follow-up visits most infestations require two to four treatments over three to six weeks. You’ll know what to prepare before each visit, what to expect during, and when it’s safe to be back in treated areas. If you have children or elderly family members at home which is common in New Hyde Park that safety conversation happens upfront, not as an afterthought.

Bed bug treatment in New Hyde Park isn’t a single visit with a spray can. A real treatment plan covers the full scope of the infestation not just the spots you found on your own. Our approach combines residual chemical treatments, steam application, and follow-up visits designed to catch any surviving eggs that the first round didn’t reach. Bed bug eggs are resistant to most treatments on their own, which is exactly why a multi-visit protocol exists and why single-treatment promises should make you skeptical.
For New Hyde Park homes specifically, the treatment accounts for the building type you’re living in. Older single-family homes along streets like Marcus Avenue or off Hillside Avenue tend to have more structural complexity than newer builds more established gaps, more aged wood furniture, more places where a small infestation can become a larger one before anyone notices. Our inspection and treatment process is thorough enough to address that complexity, not just the surface-level signs.
There’s no Nassau County municipal permit required on your end as a homeowner to have bed bug treatment done the licensing requirements fall on us, and we’re fully NYSDEC-certified. What you do need to do is prepare the space before treatment, and we walk you through that clearly before the first visit. Free estimates are available with no obligation, so you can understand exactly what the treatment involves and what it will cost before committing to anything.
Bed bugs don’t appear because a home is dirty that’s one of the most persistent and unhelpful myths about them. They travel. They hitchhike on luggage, clothing, secondhand furniture, and bags. For New Hyde Park residents who commute into Manhattan via the Long Island Rail Road, the exposure pathway is real and documented. You pass through Jamaica Station and Penn Station two of the highest-traffic transit hubs in the country five days a week. A single contact with an infested seat or surface is enough.
Beyond commuting, the other common entry points are hotel stays, visiting family or friends whose homes have an undetected infestation, and used furniture purchased from estate sales, online marketplaces, or thrift stores. The LIJ Medical Center campus employs over 10,000 people and draws regional traffic daily workers in healthcare settings interact with people from across the region, which adds another realistic exposure layer for New Hyde Park residents who work there. None of these scenarios reflect carelessness. They reflect normal life in a commuter suburb.
This is the right question to ask, and any exterminator worth hiring should answer it directly. We use environmentally friendly treatment solutions and will walk you through exactly what to do before, during, and after each visit to keep your family safe. That includes how long to stay out of treated areas, how to handle bedding and clothing, and any specific precautions for children or elderly family members.
In New Hyde Park, where 38% of households have children under 18 and a significant portion of residents are over 65, this isn’t a niche concern it’s the norm. The preparation steps we provide before treatment are specific and practical, not a generic handout. If you have a baby, a toddler, an elderly parent, or a pet with specific sensitivities, mention that when you call. The treatment plan can be adjusted accordingly, and you’ll have a clear answer before anyone sets foot in your home.
Most infestations require two to four professional treatments spaced over three to six weeks. The reason isn’t that the first treatment fails it’s that bed bug eggs are resistant to chemical treatments and hatch on a cycle. A thorough treatment protocol is designed to catch the newly hatched nymphs before they reach reproductive maturity, which is why the follow-up visits are just as important as the first one.
The number of visits your home needs depends on the size of the infestation, how long it’s been established, and the structure of your home. In New Hyde Park’s older single-family homes particularly the mid-century builds with layered furniture, wooden frames, and settled wall gaps infestations can be more dispersed than in a newer, simpler layout. That doesn’t mean they’re harder to eliminate. It means a thorough inspection upfront matters, and our process accounts for that. You’ll get a realistic estimate after the inspection, not a blanket guarantee designed to close the sale.
In most cases, no. This is one of the most common and costly mistakes people make before calling a professional discarding furniture that didn’t need to go, or worse, moving infested items through the home or out to the curb where they can spread the problem to neighbors. In a dense suburban community like New Hyde Park, where homes are close together and trash pickup runs on a regular municipal schedule, an improperly discarded mattress can create a secondary infestation problem down the street.
A certified specialist will tell you after the inspection what, if anything, needs to be discarded and the honest answer is that most furniture can be treated in place. Mattress encasements are often recommended as part of the protocol, which protect a treated mattress and make future monitoring easier. Before you throw anything out, get the inspection done first. It will save you money and prevent you from making the situation worse.
Preparation matters and directly affects how effective the treatment is. We’ll give you a specific prep list before your first visit, but the general steps include washing and heat-drying all bedding, clothing, and fabric items from affected rooms, clearing clutter from floors and around baseboards, and pulling furniture slightly away from walls to give the technician access to the areas where bed bugs typically hide.
In New Hyde Park’s older homes, where baseboards may be more settled and furniture has often been in place for years, clearing those perimeter areas is especially important. You don’t need to gut the room you need to make it accessible. If you have items that can’t be washed, like certain shoes, bags, or delicate fabrics, ask about heat treatment options for those specific pieces. The prep conversation happens before the first visit so you’re not scrambling the morning of. We walk through this with every customer because a well-prepared home means a more effective first treatment.
For a standard infestation in a single-family home, professional bed bug treatment in the New Hyde Park area typically runs between $1,000 and $2,500. More severe or long-established infestations particularly in larger homes or those with significant structural complexity can reach $4,000 or more depending on what the inspection reveals. That range exists because no two infestations are the same, and any company quoting a flat price before seeing your home is guessing.
What that investment protects is worth keeping in mind. New Hyde Park homes are currently listing near $919,000 on average. An untreated or undertreated bed bug infestation doesn’t stay contained it spreads, it affects more of the home, and it becomes a disclosure issue if you ever sell. Getting it resolved correctly the first time, by a certified specialist with a documented track record, costs less in the long run than cycling through cheaper options that don’t hold. We offer free estimates with no obligation, so you know exactly what you’re looking at before any work begins.
