NightWatch is a trap and monitoring device that entices bed bugs to it by using heat, CO2 and a lure that mimics natural pheromones. The bed bugs believe it’s a human.

Cockroach infestation is a very common problem in NYC’s public housing areas. More than 90% of residents in city-owned housing projects in Brooklyn and East Harlem have seen cockroaches in their apartments. The traditional method of using pesticides to get rid of cockroaches will result in increased exposure to toxic chemicals, which can be detrimental to health. A healthier solution will be to take management measures to keep cockroaches out of apartments for an extended period of time.

Integrated pest management is not only a healthier way to get rid of cockroaches; it is also more effective and affordable. Residents only need to hire pest management professionals once every six months, and these professionals will clean the apartments, seal cracks, and set up bait traps to control cockroach infestation. According to studies, the population of cockroaches in apartments that received a single visit from integrated pest management professionals was reduced by 75% after just three months.

If you are experiencing cockroach problems in your home, you can contact pest control experts in NY, NYC, and NJ.

Despite measures by the MTA to reduce the rat population in NYC subways, commuters are seeing more rats on the platforms. MTA board member Andrew Albert said that subway rats are getting bolder, and it is not uncommon to see them sitting on benches.

One of the main reasons why there are more rat sightings in the subways is increased interaction with humans. The construction works, water leaks, and a rise in the number of commuters also contribute to the increasing population of NYC subway rats. As a way to control the rat problem, baits are placed on the tracks throughout the system once every month, but this does not seem to be an effective solution. Albert said that subway rats can cause health problems, and more extensive efforts should be made to control their numbers.

Some of the stations where rat sightings are more common include West 4th Street, Spring Street on the C, Chambers Street on the A, Jay Street-Borough Hall, and several 34th Street and Upper West Street stops.

It’s been reported that NYC bed bugs have invaded the Saatchi & Saatchi building in New York. They believe the NYC bed bugs are only living on the 17th floor of the building. Inquiring minds want to know if perhaps the bed bugs have already invaded other floors of the building or perhaps just biding their time until they make other portions of the building their home.

Perhaps some of the bed bugs have left the building and have moved to homes, apartment buildings and perhaps invaded a few posh NYC restaurants.

A memo sent to Saatchi employees stated they are having an eradication process and their testing shows the odious bed bugs are only on the 17th floor but they will continue to check out the other floors on an ongoing basis. Sounds like a good idea!
