Like the Hulk, Cryonite is a big, green, killing machine! The super hero of the pest world, it’s Cryonite to the rescue when the bad guys invade. Blood-sucking little bed bugs, nasty German cockroaches, vicious pumped-up pesticide-resistant bugs — Cryonite mows them all down with ease. Like Mr. Freeze on steroids, Cryonite shoots a carbon dioxide snow that stops insects in their tracks and freezes them dead. Cryonite is the summer blockbuster hit of the pest control world!

You can find Cryonite at Stern Environmental Group, recently named a North American sales rep for the revolutionary ”green” bed bug and insect extermination system. What makes Cryonite “green”?

• It’s chemical-free and non-toxic making it safe for sensitive environments like the food industry, day care centers, nursing homes, hospitals and your home.
• There are no messy wet residues, no pesticide smells, no health implications when Cryonite is used. Hotel rooms can be placed back in use right after treatment. You don’t have to worry about the health of your children and pets after treatment.
• Cryonite uses only food-grade quality CO2 so there is no risk of contamination. 
• The CO2 used by the Cryonite system is recycled from industrial processes and does not release additional CO2 into the atmosphere.

Tomorrow, April 22, is Earth Day and everyone’s talking about “green” solutions to save our planet. Stern Environmental Group has long been a believer in environmentally friendly solutions to pest control problems.

Stern is one of an elite few pest control companies to introduce to the U.S. the revolutionary new non-toxic Cryonite system so popular in Europe. Cryonite uses no toxic pesticides or harmful chemicals and is extremely effective against bed bugs, pesticide-resistant German cockroaches, Indian meal moths and other annoying insects. With no noxious odors, messy wet residues or health implications, Cryonite is safe for children, pets (even fish!), asthmatics, allergy sufferers and the elderly.

Cryonite kills insects by freezing them with a carbon dioxide vapor that can penetrate into cracks and crevices and reach the undersides of furniture. The CO2 used is food-grade quality recycled from industrial processes. A truly “green” system, Cryonite does not add CO2 to the atmosphere.

Our unique Track & Trap mouse and rat control system is another “green” solution to pest control. This innovative system uses a fluorescent powder to track rodents to their nests. Entry points into your home or business are pinpointed and permanently sealed, keeping rodents out. The fluorescent tracking powder allows nests and dens to be located and rodents trapped and permanently removed.

When bed bugs are in the news, the news media turns to our head honcho, Douglas Stern, managing partner of Stern Environmental Group. An expert in the eradication of bed bugs, Stern was interviewed yesterday by Executive Producer Marissa Toccin of NewsProNet. The Miami-based production company is filming a story for possible syndicated release to 80 television stations across the U.S. Toccin came to talk to Stern about the revolutionary new non-toxic Cryonite system that kills bed bugs by rapid freezing.

Stern Environmental is among an elite few who offer Cryonite treatments in America. Popular in Europe and Australia, Cryonite uses a carbon dioxide vapor to quick-freeze bed bugs before they can scurry away. The vapor is able to penetrate under beds and furniture and deep into cracks and crevices where bed bugs hide. Unlike pesticides, Cryonite kills bed bugs in all stages of development, including eggs.

The news story will feature an interview with Stern. Our ace technician Wilson Oquendo will also demonstrate the use of Cryonite in an apartment and show the proper way to install a bed bug-proof encasement to protect mattresses and box springs from bed bugs. Watch for us on your local news soon.

Yesterday’s post chronicled the woes of the Milford Plaza in Manhattan which is being sued by an unhappy couple who got nibbled on by bed bugs during their stay. It’s not the first hotel or motel to be sued by grossed-out guests and it won’t be the last. A lawsuit is expensive even if damages aren’t awarded. Here’s what hotel and motel managers need to know about bed bugs:

• Bed bugs hitch a ride into hotel rooms on guests’ clothing and luggage.
• A room that was bed bug free this morning can be infected in the afternoon by the arrival of a bug-carrying guest.
• Most of the bed bugs won’t leave with the guest. They’ll stay in and near the bed, nesting in the mattress, box springs, linens, carpeting, bed frame, baseboards, under wallpaper, nearby furniture, etc. and start to multiply.
• Bed bugs spread easily through electrical and plumbing conduits and voids, air ducts, elevator shafts, in laundry carts, even on the clothing of your housekeeping staff.
• If a room is infected, the rooms adjoining and above and below are likely to also be infected.

At Stern Environmental Group our customers are singing the praises of our revolutionary green solution to eliminating bed bugs — Cryonite. We just received a letter from another customer who was completely satisfied with Stern’s bed bug elimination team and the application of Cryonite to rid his home of bed bugs.

After four months of unsuccessful chemical treatment by another pest control firm, he called Stern to ask about Cryonite. In part, here’s what our customer had to say about Stern and Cryonite (click the link to read his entire letter):

“Wilson, one of your Technician Supervisors, was dispatched to my home and mirrored the professional and sympathetic demeanor that I had also experienced when scheduling with Ella. Wilson took the time to explain the process that was going to take place, what my responsibilities were to ensure that this problem remains resolved, then he diligently and with great attention to detail treated my home. . . . He responsibly took the time necessary to ensure total extermination of the bugs almost as if he was working in his own home. The methods and processes utilized by Wilson ultimately proved to be outstanding since my infestation is now completely remedied. . . . After so many months of on-going issues with these pests, I once again have a sense of peace in my home.”

If you have bed bugs, don’t wait another minute; call Stern today. Getting rid of bed bugs is not a do-it-yourself project. If you have bed bugs, you need professional help and you need it today before they spread to other parts of your home.

The little buggers are hard to find and they spread like wildfire. If they’re in your bed and you start sleeping on your couch, you’ll have them in your couch too. If you move out, you could carry them with you in your suitcase. If you spray them with Raid, they’ll just move to another comfy spot in your house. The tiny critters are easily spread on clothing, furniture, bedding, suitcases and cardboard boxes. They move easily through wall voids, ductwork and elevator shafts. They hide in the tiniest of cracks and crevices, behind wall paper, behind baseboards, under carpeting and in furniture joints. If you’ve got them, you’re going to need professional help getting rid of them.

In addition to traditional bed bug extermination treatment, Stern Environmental also offers the new, revolutionary Cryonite treatment for bed bugs. Extensively used in Europe and Australia, Cryonite is the most effective bed bug extermination treatment available on the market today. Unlike traditional treatments which need to be repeated to kill hatching eggs, Cryonite kills adults, nymphs and eggs at once without pesticides or toxic residue. Click here to find our more about Cryonite, the safest, most effective way to kill bed bugs on the market today.

If you’re a landlord and you get a call from one of Bobby Corrigan’s “Rat Pack” (see our Feb. 6 post), give Stern a call. Don’t risk being saddled with a city citation. NYC’s new rat master will only give you two weeks to evict the varmints if rats are discovered on your property.

Stern Environmental Group provides expert rat and mouse control and eradication. We use snap traps, rodenticides and mechanical traps to get rid of disease-ridden rodents. We also provide rat and mouse inspection services for restaurants, industry, multi-family units and homes.

Our revolutionary new Track & Trap mouse control installation is the perfect choice if your rodents come in small packages (a bigger rat-sized system is under development). The Track & Trap system is the smart, innovative, green way to take care of your mouse problem. A special tracking box is loaded with food to attract the furry critters. As mice scurry around the food trough, their feet become dusted with fluorescent powder, leaving tracks that can be followed back to their dens, ensuring that no mouse is missed by our eradication team.

Bed bugs have invaded New York and the city is fighting back! In its continuing effort to educate its citizens, the city will host the second in its series of informative Bed Bug Seminars from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, February 5 at Ricardo’s Catering Hall, 21-01 24th Avenue in Astoria, Queens. Call the Department of Housing Preservation and Development at 212-863-8830 to reserve a space and for more information. Spanish translation will be provided. The program will include:

• How to recognize bed bugs.

“Bed bugs do not discriminate and we must do everything we can to stop the spread of the epidemic in our city,” said Council Member Miguel Martinez. “Consumers must be educated about buying used mattresses and of the signs to look for when bitten by the bed bug. The public’s education is desperately needed.”

Bed bug complaints in Astoria climbed from 41 in 2004 to 345 last year. Reports of bed bugs have increased across all of New York’s boroughs. Last year the city logged 6,889 infestation complaints and cited 2,008 building owners. Bed bug complaints soared at nearly all — 57 out of 59 — of the city’s community boards. Some of the worst hit areas are Astoria, Long Island City, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Central Harlem and Bushwick.

“The bed bugs epidemic is one that is adversely affecting all sectors of our community,” said Council Member Diana Reyna. “This issue deserves our full and undivided attention. Educating the community is the first step towards ensuring the safety, proper management and elimination of this problem. A well-informed resident is a safe resident.”

People are excited about Stern Environmental Group’s new environmentally-friendly insect extermination treatment — Cyronite. We’ve had so many calls and orders for this revolutionary pest control system that we’re in the process of expanding this part of our business to meet the demand!

Cryonite uses pressurized carbon dioxide (CO2) to rapidly freeze and kill insects and their eggs. It’s particularly effective on pesticide resistant bedbugs and hard-to-kill German cockroaches. Popularized in Europe and Australia but just introduced in the United States, the Cryonite system is only available from a select number of pest control companies, including Stern Environmental Group.

Cryonite system uses no toxic chemicals, making it is ideally suited for use in sensitive areas like homes, day care centers, hospitals, schools, nursing homes and restaurants. Cyronite’s instant kill action means that hotel and motel rooms can be rented immediately after treatment. Cruise ships can be treated with no scheduling delay for detoxification or clean up. The hospitality industry is showing major interest in Cryonite. The green pest control system maximizes occupancy rates and lowers down time for infected rooms.

Comedian Mark Malkoff moved into the Elizabeth, New Jersey IKEA store on Monday while his New York City apartment is being fumigated for cockroaches. If he’d just called Stern, he’d never have had to leave home.

Known for his 2007 video 171 Starbucks, the 31-year-old filmmaker dragged along a camera crew to document his week-long stay at the world’s most famous do-it-yourself furniture store. (Watch the video on www.marklivesinikea.com.) While he’s been impressed with the spaciousness of his new IKEA bedroom suite (twice the size of his Queens apartment), he’s already run into a few snags: The sinks don’t work and the toilet is just a prop, as are the refrigerator, TV, washer and dryer. He’s showering in the staff locker room, cooking his meals in the staff cafeteria, and spending his days chatting up the customers. Of course, if his landlord had used Stern’s new Cryonite extermination system, Malkoff could have stayed home.

Cryonite is the green solution to effective pest control. Chemical-free and non-toxic it’s an environmentally friendly way to kill bugs that has proven particularly effective against nasty German cockroaches and pesticide-resistant bed bugs. The Cryonite system works by creating a penetrating carbon dioxide snow that vaporizes to penetrate cracks and crevices, under floorboards, behind baseboards, the undersides of furniture, behind appliances, inside bedding and box springs, and other hard-to-reach places where roaches and bed bugs hide and multiply. It freezes the bugs before they can scurry away and kills them — and unlike many pesticides, Cryonite is effective on bugs in all stages of development, including eggs.

Cryonite application produces no pesticide smells, messy wet residues or health implications. The CO2 used is food grade quality which presents no contamination risk. Click the post title for more information on Cryonite, the green solution to your pest problems.
