Bed bugs. No one likes them and no one wants them anywhere in or near their home or business. The problem is, these tiny bloodsuckers are master hitchhikers. This means they can be on a bus, flying the friendly skies, in a cab, stuffed inside a piece of luggage or briefcase, learning their ABC’s at school, or riding the rails in a piece of clothing.

Because these pests are so active, they can travel from many locations and be deposited in your home or business where they’ll set up housekeeping and dinner reservations with you as the main course.

Bed bugs can be most anywhere but you’ll know they’re around by the red, itchy bites they leave on your body. To monitor these pesky diners, there are several new solutions available, many of which we sell on our website.

Many of these detectors will trap insects so they can be identified for infestation verification purposes and some even use special scents to attract bed bugs to sticky surfaces to capture them.

If your home or business is experiencing a bed bug invasion, or if you’d like more information about your bed bug detection options, just give us a call. When you contact our representatives at Stern Environmental, you’ll receive expert help on the best way to deal with bed bug problems. We are the NYC regional experts!

Bed Bugs Putting the Bite to Schools

No mention of a possible Emmy nomination yet, but bed bugs made their television debut last week on NBC’s The Michael J. Fox Show in an episode aptly titled “Bed Bugs.” Fortunately, the nasty blood-sucking insects didn’t make an on-camera appearance; but they served as comedic fodder for the family sitcom when a bed bug infestation in Mike’s sister’s apartment forces Leigh to move in with Mike and his family.

Given the comedic nature of the show, it’s not surprising that the episode dwells more on sibling rivalry and family ties than bed bugs. After all, there’s nothing funny about finding bed bugs invading your apartment. But it’s too bad the writers didn’t impart a few bed bug facts to the viewing audience. The most egregious of the fact errors was the scene where Mike attempts to fumigate his sister’s apartment himself.

Exterminating bed bugs is job for experienced NJ pest control professionals. Insecticides available on the home market are not powerful enough to kill modern pesticide-resistant bed bugs. At best, do-it-yourself attempts to exterminate bed bugs will send these insects into hiding or, in multi-family buildings, force them into neighboring apartments.

Don’t let bed bugs put the bite on you. For the facts about bed bugs and bed bug extermination, visit the Stern Environmental website.
