NYC's #1 Bed Bug
Extermination & Inspections

For projects where we have solid proof of an infestation but are having a very difficult time finding hiding positions, we use our trusty Bedbug K-9 dog. Dogs have been used for years in a very effective manner to sniff out items such as drugs, people, cadavers, mold and bombs, so it’s only natural that they could be trained to pick up the scent of Bedbugs. Sometimes we walk into a client’s home or building finding traces of Bedbugs but not the bugs themselves.

These pests are very adept at hiding and are far more active during twilight hours. Our K-9 is trained specifically to sniff out the root of any infestation and find out where those bugs are lurking. It’s only after we receive an alert from our dog, that our technician will begin an extensive visual search. This is done in order to root out any possible “false-positives.” We wouldn’t want to provide you with Bedbug treatment if there isn’t actually an infestation.

You’re in charge of a building property or many. You already have so many worries to think about like plumbing, heating, cooling, land management, and building cleaning: Why add a nightmare like Bedbugs to the list? We specialize in the removal of Bedbugs throughout Multi-Family apartment buildings. The scariest thing about this scenario is how quickly they can spread from residential unit to unit unleashing an array of unhappy tenants and an enormous headache for the property management company.

As the problem snowballs, it can be a very expensive proposition to treat. They are hard to detect in small numbers, migrate quickly from unit to unit, and actively resist many chemicals. They can spread quickly via clothing, luggage, bags, furniture, bedding, family, friends or co-workers. When it comes to apartments, they crawl onto pipes, telephone, cable or electrical wires. Bedbugs can end up in your home from a variety of places. Perhaps you took a trip and stayed in a hotel with them. Visiting relatives have also been known to carry these creepy crawlers with their luggage. Your kids can bring them home from school and parents can do the same from work.

When it comes to your treatment options for Bedbugs, a strong, coordinated effort between Standard Pest Management and the property manager is a prerequisite. We also suggest a level of communication made between property management and residents. If one apartment is infested, it’s likely that the Bedbugs have spread to adjoining units. Our treatment is labor intensive, may take several hours between each apartment, and will most likely require several visits to permanently put a stop to a Bedbug infestation.

Whether it’s a hotel, motel, nursing home, senior care facility or other business being affected, Bedbugs will end up being a huge liability if not managed appropriately. Employee productivity can drop significantly, sales could plummet if word reaches the media that your business does have a Bedbug problem, and you could end up paying big for something that may have been easy to control at the start.

We are renowned throughout Queens, the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Westchester County and Long Island for our discreet activity. If you decide to hire us, your employees won’t know about a Bedbug problem and neither will your customers. Our technicians will use the latest in technology and detection methods to find those Bedbugs and send them packing as quickly as possible.

Standard Pest Management also utilizes insecticides and pesticides to dispatch Bedbugs from your home or business. Their active ingredients kill or repel Bedbugs. Because these pests have become more and more resistant to these chemicals in the last decade, their usage alone has not been as effective. Therefore, we tend to only utilize them in conjunction with steam vapor treatments. Chemicals are also not environmentally friendly when compared with steam vapor.
