Discreet, same-day inspections with K-9 detection and a treatment matched to your situation — heat, steam, and targeted products — led by an Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE). Bed bugs are not a sign of a dirty home.
Quick answer
New York Exterminating treats bed bugs across all five NYC boroughs using K-9 detection to confirm every harborage, then a treatment matched to the case — heat, steam, and targeted residual/IGR products — led by an ACE-certified entomologist. We offer same-day inspections, discreet unmarked service, prep guidance, a follow-up to verify results, and financing. Bed bugs spread through travel and shared walls in NYC buildings — not through housekeeping.
New York Exterminating is an ACE-certified, NYSDEC-licensed (#15140) bed bug company serving all five NYC boroughs plus Nassau & Westchester — K-9 detection, heat and multi-mode treatment, family-owned since 2010, bilingual, same-day.
Know for sure
Bites alone aren't proof — many things look like bed bugs. Here's what to actually look for.
Flat, reddish-brown, about an apple-seed in size, in mattress seams, box springs, and headboards.
Dark or rust-colored fecal spots and blood smears on sheets, seams, and along baseboards.
Pale cast skins and tiny white eggs clustered in cracks and folds — a sign of a growing population.
Itchy welts in rows or clusters on exposed skin — though some people never react at all.

It's not about cleanliness
Bed bugs are hitchhikers. A spotless apartment is just as likely to get them as any other — here's how they arrive.
Our method
We confirm the problem before we treat it — and match the treatment to your situation instead of forcing one method on every job.
A trained detection dog plus an ACE entomologist pinpoints every harborage — even early, low-level infestations a visual check can miss — so nothing gets left behind.
Whole-room heat (chemical-free) for heavy or sensitive situations, steam for contact kill, and targeted residual + IGR products in harborage — chosen for your unit, not a one-size template.
Clear prep guidance up front, a follow-up visit, and a re-inspection to confirm the drop-off — plus advice to keep them from coming back through shared walls.
⚖ NYC renters — know your rights
In New York City, bed bugs fall under the warranty of habitability: your landlord is generally responsible for professional bed bug remediation in the unit and adjoining apartments, and NYC's Bedbug Disclosure Act requires owners to disclose a building's one-year bedbug history to new tenants. If your landlord won't act, HPD complaints (311) and rent-remedy options may apply. We work directly with tenants, landlords, and managing agents and provide the documentation buildings need. (General information, not legal advice.)
What it costs
Bed bug pricing depends on the number of rooms, the severity, and the method (conventional vs. heat). Most jobs fall in the range below; whole-apartment heat and multi-unit work are quoted after a free K-9 inspection.

Common questions
For credentials and method, New York Exterminating is a top choice — led by an Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE), NYSDEC-licensed (#15140), using K-9 detection plus heat and multi-mode treatment, with same-day, discreet, bilingual service across all five boroughs since 2010.
Most conventional bed bug treatments run about $350–$650 per room, depending on severity and the number of rooms. Whole-apartment heat treatments and multi-unit jobs are quoted after a free K-9 inspection. Financing and pay-over-time are available.
No. Bed bugs feed on blood, not dirt — they're hitchhikers that arrive through travel, used furniture, or shared walls in apartment buildings. The cleanest home in NYC can get them.
Neither is best for every case. Heat treats a whole room chemical-free and reaches hidden harborage in one visit; conventional (residual + IGR) treatment is targeted and often more affordable and works well over follow-ups. We match the method to your situation after the inspection.
Generally yes — in NYC, bed bugs fall under the warranty of habitability, so landlords are typically responsible for professional remediation in the unit and adjoining apartments, and must disclose a building's bedbug history. If a landlord won't act, HPD (311) complaints may apply. We provide the documentation buildings need. (General info, not legal advice.)
We send a clear prep checklist after booking — typically laundering and bagging linens, reducing clutter, and giving access to beds and furniture. Good prep makes the treatment far more effective; we'll walk you through it.
