Beagles: Master Bed Bug Hunters

If you want to get rid of bedbugs, you first have to make sure that you have bedbugs. Doing so can be complicated; you don’t want to start spraying chemicals all around your house in hopes that you will find the lair of the bed bugs. Bed bug control starts with the beagle.

These dogs have an incredible sense of smell, which is aided by their long ears and heavy lips. As they track a bed bug scent, they use their ears to whip the scent toward their nose. Once the beagle finds a scent, he follows it, and from there the humans take over. After this step, it’s easy to get rid of bedbugs. While using chemicals and fog machines can kill bedbugs that are alive, it may not destroy eggs that are laid. Beagles can sniff out eggs too.

After the problem has been handled, the Bed Bug Inspectors will return and determine whether all of the live bed bugs and their eggs have been eliminated. Thanks to the beagle, bed bug detection is 95% accurate compared to a human inspection, which is only 17% - 30% accurate. So if you suspect a bed bug problem, call the Bed Bug Inspectors.

A Nocturnal Realization

One night a few weeks ago, I woke up in the middle of a deep sleep, itching my arm. Sleep, stupid itch. But the itch persisted and although I fell back to sleep, I awoke again later that night, itching my arm even harder, and also itching my stomach. Stupid itch won’t go away, why am I so itchy? The itching continued. I couldn’t take it. I got up, turned on the light, and looked at what I was itching. Small mosquito bite sized welts. Late winter, there aren’t any mosquitoes… So I pulled off my comforter and my sheets and saw a minute black bug crawling on my mattress! Bedbugs! Disgusted and irate, I couldn’t go back to bed on my mattress, so I slept – or tried to sleep – on my couch. It was probably the worst night of my life.

The next morning I decided I had to kill bedbugs. But getting rid of bedbugs isn’t as easy as I thought. I called the professionals, because not only did I want to kill bedbugs, I wanted to prevent bed bugs from returning, and I know how they lay eggs and lie dormant, waiting to strike.

I found www.TheBedbugInspectors.com and I knew that all my troubles would soon be over, which, today, they are.

And plus it’s snowing all the time in New York, and if it weren’t for my job here, I would just go back to Cali, but that’s a different story. I asked my mom about the spots, and she’s like, oh my god Kelsie, you totally have bedbugs.

So I’m like how do I get rid of bedbugs? And after looking everywhere, I finally found these guys who come to my apartment and they kill bedbugs. But to make sure that I had them, they brought these cute little beagles, who sniffed all over, and finally they like found the bedbugs hiding spot.

Then they came back to actually get rid of bedbugs with their special methods or whatever. But it totally worked. I’m not even kidding, like now my apartment is bedbug free, and I feel like it’s about time.

Mattress Covers Are a Great Way to Prevent Bed Bugs

Posted on : 9:00 AM | By : Jessica G. | In : , , , ,

One of the more common places bed bugs are found is in mattresses. Mattresses are prime breeding ground for bed bugs because they provide a secretive hiding place, along with easy access to warm bodies at night.

The kind of mattress cover you need for bed bug control and to prevent bed bugs from biting you at night covers the entire mattress by zipping up around it.

There are two basic choices for your mattress cover: Vinyl or Fabric. Generally, fabric is less likely to rip, less noisy to sleep on and more comfortable. However if a bug is gets squished, you will have to wash the cover because there may be blood on it. Vinyl mattress covers are usually easier to clean, don’t stain, and are cheaper. Unfortunately, it tears easily, can smell like plastic, and isn’t as comfortable to sleep in. Whatever you decide; it's a good idea to tape up the zipper to prevent anything from escaping.

If you have a bed bug infestation, it’s probably necessary for you to get a pillow cover, similar in fashion of the mattress cover, to properly prevent bed bugs from spreading.

Bed Bug Control: A New Breed of Guard Dog Attacks Bedbugs

Due to our overwhelming success in getting rid of bedbugs, TheBedbugInspectors.com was recently featured in The New York Times! Check out the article below.

A New Breed of Guard Dog Attacks Bedbugs

Cruiser made four house calls on a recent rain-soaked Tuesday. There were two happy endings and two unhappy ones, a fairly typical outcome for a typical day in the life of a bedbug-sniffing puggle.

“Except that there’s nothing typical about this business,” said his handler, Jeremy Ecker, 35, whose six-month-old company, the Bed Bug Inspectors, has vetted hotels, college dorms and Midtown office buildings, suburban homes, bare-bones Brooklyn rentals and tony Manhattan co-ops. (Mr. Ecker, who charges $350 for a residential inspection, is an independent inspector, meaning he has no affiliation with an exterminator, though many hire him to check a property they have treated.)

Increasingly, real estate lawyers are urging buyers in contract to inspect apartments before they close, and in their advertising, many pest control companies exhort would-be tenants to “inspect before you rent.” And dogs like Cruiser can inspect a room in minutes, whereas lesser mammals like human beings need hours to conduct a visual inspection.

Bedbug-sniffing dogs, adorable yet stunningly accurate — entomology researchers at the University of Florida report that well-trained dogs can detect a single live bug or egg with 96 percent accuracy — are the new and furry front line in an escalating and confounding domestic war.

While experts cite a host of reasons for the upsurge, they agree on one thing: the bugs, which were mostly eradicated in this country at midcentury by now-banned pesticides like DDT but remained a constant scourge overseas, are finding their way back to the United States through an increase in global travel.

And in cities like New York, where neighbors are often separated only by bricks and mortar, one person’s infestation is everybody’s problem, since bedbugs can crawl through walls and along wiring and pipes, and hitchhike on clothing, furniture, luggage and more. In this city of 8.3 million, it seems as if everyone has a bedbug story.

Just ask Gale A. Brewer, a self-appointed bedbug evangelist and a City Council member from the Upper West Side. She prodded the Mayor’s office to convene a bedbug advisory committee last fall, after years of what she and others felt were woeful public policy inadequacies in the face of the relentless advances of what some have called “the pest of the century.” (The committee — entomologists, civic policy experts and advocates for children, the elderly and others — will issue its recommendations next month.)

The breadth and scope of the problem has been captured anecdotally in anguished tales — the family living in a tent outside their lovely-but-infested Long Island home, the woman in the Upper West Side one-bedroom who spent $9,500 on extermination and lived out of plastic bags, at friends’ apartments, for three months — posted on blogs like bedbugger and newyorkvsbedbugs, the likes of which have been spreading like, well, bedbugs, over the last few years. They are told over and over at community board hearings presided over by Ms. Brewer and others, and recorded in mainstream media. Another picture, though still incomplete, comes from the city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development, which has been tracking bedbug complaints and violations through calls to the 311 help line. Consider that six years ago, there were 537 bedbug complaints and 82 violations (in other words, verified infestations); last year, complaints topped out at nearly 11,000, with 4,084 violations cited (nearly double that of the previous year).

But the complaints registered with the department and 311 relate only to rental properties; reports of bedbugs scampering through the private sanctums of hotels, co-ops and condos, colleges and office buildings remain largely uncounted, though real estate lawyers and brokers report that co-op minutes reveal a world that’s just as infested as the rest of the city.

In the last three months, and for the first time in her 21-year career, for example, Lori Braverman, a Manhattan real estate lawyer, advised buyers she was representing in three deals to inspect apartments they were in contract for, having noted in the co-op boards’ minutes instances of bedbugs in their buildings. “One was described as a ‘significant infestation,’” she said. “It’s the deep, dark secret of co-ops and condos.” (All three checked out clean, including a classic five on the Upper West Side inspected by Cruiser.) Still, as Ms. Brewer said darkly, “Those bugs are everywhere.”

After a day or two with Cruiser, one would have to agree.

Nine-thirty in the morning in Borough Park, Brooklyn, at the home of a family of seven, two of them still in diapers: the family was poised to move to a new house, their things in boxes, the rooms askew, to the horror of the mother, who had to welcome a reporter and a photographer into the pre-move disarray. (Like all the bedbug sufferers in this story, she asked not to be identified because of the stigma surrounding the pests.)

Cruiser had been invited because the mother had found a dead bedbug floating in the bath of one child the night before, and she wanted to make sure, if there was an infestation, that it didn’t travel to their new home. The house next door had had a problem, she said, and she knew bedbugs travel easily through walls. All this was related to Mr. Ecker, while Oscar Rincon, his colleague, waited outside with Cruiser.

“I don’t want to know the details,” Mr. Rincon said later, lest the knowledge affect his body language and interfere with the dog’s inspection.

Mr. Rincon, 42, is an old friend of Mr. Ecker’s who worked for years at the North Shore Animal League. He and Mr. Ecker, Cruiser and his partner, a beagle called Freedom, were all trained for their work at J&K Canine Academy in High Springs, Fla., where rescue dogs are schooled in the scent detection of termites, bedbugs, bombs, some cancers and canker, a scourge on citrus crops. The school has an ongoing relationship with the University of Florida, which has been testing its results.

In two weeks training with Cruiser and Freedom, Mr. Ecker and Mr. Rincon learned how to hide live hives of bedbugs — little gangs of bugs tucked into vials fitted with mesh covers, so the scent can travel, but the bugs stay put — and work with the dogs in constantly changing scenarios (hiding bugs in high cupboards, in drawers, under rugs and so forth). Like all scent-detecting dogs, Cruiser and Freedom work for food; put another way, they are fed only when they find their target, which keeps them accurate and keen on their jobs.

This poses challenges, however, for a dog handler. Back home in Fresh Meadows, Queens, Mr. Ecker discovered pretty quickly that his new career required an extreme lifestyle commitment. Not only would he have to live with bedbugs to train and feed his new roommates, Cruiser and Freedom, he would have to feed the bugs, too. Remember that dinner for a bedbug is a nice long quaff of human blood; Mr. Ecker rolled up a sleeve to reveal a horrifying tattoo of old bites. (Bedbugs don’t carry disease, but their bites can itch like crazy.)

Happily, the bugs need to eat only once a month or less, he said. “It’s not so bad. You can hardly feel it.”

A few days later at his home, Mr. Ecker demonstrated, tipping a vial of bugs onto his forearm, which the critters latched on to like hungry newborns, their bodies quickly swelling with blood. Meanwhile, Mr. Rincon was cleaning vials, ensuring that the dogs learn to detect only live bugs and eggs. He swept the debris — bedbug feces, maybe some eggs — into plastic cups, which he filled with water and stuck in the freezer, since extreme temperatures are proven bug snuffers.

“You have to be very focused,” Mr. Ecker said. “You can’t sneeze, or answer the phone. The cat has to be out of the room. Want to try?”

Back in Borough Park, Cruiser had started to work. Mr. Rincon wiped his paws with a towel and began leading him around the house. The family’s boxed possessions, stacked in the basement, were quickly vetted. But a wooden crib in a child’s room gave Cruiser pause. The father turned it back to front and the dog began pawing the mattress, signaling an alert. (What Cruiser does is detect the scent of a bug or an egg; it’s up to an exterminator, said Mr. Ecker, to visually confirm the presence of bedbugs in the spots a dog has noted.)

The mother exhaled slowly. “That’s where my 2 ½-year-old sleeps,” she said. She had the expression, a sort of satisfied wince, familiar to parents everywhere, when a nagging suspicion — the toe is broken, the teeth need braces, the itchy scalp is really lice — has been confirmed.

Returning Cruiser to a crate in the back of his white Subaru Outback, Mr. Ecker, who had been in the extermination business for six years, reflected on his new career. Since he and Mr. Rincon returned from Florida in September, they’ve done hundreds of inspections. Despite the ick factor, “it’s very rewarding work,” he said. “We get to walk dogs for a living and we help people get peace of mind.”

Mr. Rincon added: “We see people who literally haven’t slept for weeks. They think everything is a bedbug. At a place in Jersey, the wife was a total wreck. She’d saved 15 samples of stuff, thinking it was bedbugs.”

It was mostly lint, as it turned out.

A mother of 7-month-old twins in a bedroom community outside of New York was not so lucky. It was Cruiser’s last stop of the day; after Borough Park, he’d inspected a Midtown office and an apartment in Riverdale. Both were bedbug-free, the day’s happy endings. Outside the city, the rain was still coming down in sheets. A Manhattan-dwelling relative of the mother had had bedbugs, perhaps the source, she said, of her house’s infestation, which she had had heat-treated, at a cost of $5,000. (Many sufferers with animals or young children choose this nontoxic method, in which very hot air is channeled into a space.)

She and her husband and their young family had decamped to a hotel. Back in her pristinely renovated 19th-century brick row house a week later, however, she was convinced she was being bitten again. The woman extended a graceful bare foot with a large, angry welt on the arch. She had called the pest control company she had used, but they were backed up on inspections and couldn’t promise a dog for another week. “I can’t wait that long,” she said.

When Cruiser arrived, he greeted the woman by placing his paws on her knees.

“Does that mean I’ve got them?” she wondered. “I feel like one big bug. If I can get through this, having twins isn’t going to be an issue.”

Cruiser spent 15 minutes at the house and alerted four times, scratching a parlor-floor loveseat, an upholstered side chair nearby, the mother’s side of the bed and a small black suitcase in a closet.

The mother’s eyes welled. “I have to remember no one is sick, no one has cancer,” she said. “Is it possible, when we went to the hotel, I brought them with me and then brought them back?”

“It’s possible,” Mr. Ecker said. “I’m sorry.”

Cruiser insinuated his wet nose into the reporter’s hand, and she scratched his silky ears.

Back in the car, she wondered: Shouldn’t the mother wrap the couch, the chair and the suitcase in plastic? What about her mattress? Does the inspection mean that heat treatment doesn’t work? Should the reporter, who had taken off her muddy boots in the house, throw away her socks?

Mr. Ecker shook his head. “What if I tell her to do one thing and it contradicts the pest-control company’s plans?” he said, referring to the client. “There’s nothing wrong with heat. There’s more than one way to cut apples.”

He added: “We’ve never taken a bug home with us. They’re not like fleas. They don’t jump on you.”

Bedbugs need time to get to know you, he explained. A short visit to a bedbug lair poses no risks. Still, as Mr. Rincon pointed out, “I never sit down.”

Moving Them Out

In the last several years, bedbug infestations have increased exponentially in New York City, but so have the resources to deal with them. The city offers a guide at nyc.gov. Bedbugger.com, a blog, is a Baedeker for treatment and a group memoir; newyorkvsbedbugs.org focuses more on city policies than remediation.

Think you have bedbugs? Bites might be the first sign, but not everyone reacts the same way: on some they look like welts or hives, on others mosquito bites and some people don’t react at all. Once you’ve met a bedbug, though, you won’t mistake it for anything else. The bugs look different at each life stage: the eggs are clear and the size of a pencil point, the babies are semi-transparent and poppy seed-size and adults are rust-colored and as big as an apple seed. The city’s Web site advises using an exterminator that describes itself as an “integrated pest management” service; make sure it is registered with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation; ( 718) 482-4994 or go to www.dec.ny.gov.

Awareness: The Ultimate Way to Prevent Bed Bugs

Posted on : 9:00 AM | By : Jessica G. | In : , , , ,


Most people know that bedbugs aren’t something they want in their homes. But there is a surprising amount of misinformation circulating about them, which makes getting rid of bedbugs almost impossible. Here is a list of common bed bug myths that you should be aware of if you want to prevent future outbreaks.

1) You Can’t See Bed Bugs.
It would almost be easier if this was true—bed bugs are pretty darn ugly. But you don’t see them because they’re feasting in the wee hours of the early morning. Adults bed bugs are a reddish brown color are a good 3-5mm in size.

2) If I Throw Out My Bed, The Bugs Are Gone.
If only this were true! Unfortunately, when you have a serious infestation, bedbugs and their hundreds of eggs, can hide just about anywhere. This means that simply chucking your bed and buying a new one will be your key to bed bug control.

3) Bedbugs are result of poor hygiene.
This is probably the biggest misconception regarding bedbugs. They have no cleanliness level standards and can be found in hovels, swanky hotels, and everywhere in between. Bed bugs don’t discriminate.

Let’s be real. Bed bugs are terrifying. And getting rid of bedbugs can be even more of a nightmare.

The idea of parasitic insects that burrow in your bedding and feast on your blood at night sounds more like a plot for a B-horror movie than a real life crisis. But for those who are suffering from bed bugs, it’s all too real. To make the problem even more of a nightmare for urban dwellers, reports of bed bugs have increased 71 percent in the last five years according to the National Pest Management Association.

I'm always look for way to prevent bed bugs and have found a few tips that I think are pretty useful. If you aren’t already aware, here are a few tips to keep your home free of the nocturnal bloodsuckers.

If you’re sleeping in a bed that’s not your own, check it for sign of bedbug feces which look like clusters of black pinpoints on the bedding. Sometimes you may even find their shed skin which look like reddish brown discs up to a quarter inch long.

If you think you’ve been exposed to bed bugs while travelling, the NPMA suggest you wash EVERYTHING before bringing it into your home. Vacuum out your suitcase and wash all your clothes, even if you didn’t wear them.

If you buy secondhand furniture and clothing, inspect the items thoroughly before you bring them home.

All in all, getting rid of bed bugs can be especially tricky, so prevention is the best way to control them.

First Step in Bed Bug Control: Understanding Them

Posted on : 12:00 PM | By : Ajax Union Blogging | In : , , , ,


Bedbugs feed on human blood, which is why they are so obnoxious. Like mosquitoes, they bite the source and leave little itchy spots on our skin.

What is notable about bedbugs is that up until about WWII, they were a problem, and then they were virtually eradicated with the widespread use of pesticides. In the 1990’s, however, these pests have resurfaced. Many people attribute their resurgence to international travel. Staying in hotels may have allowed bedbugs into luggage and eventually into the United States.

Furthermore, during the mid 90’s the way in which hotels applied pesticides changed, with a focus towards cockroaches and ants. The broad-based pesticides used until then were discontinued and, as a result, the little pests were free to infest.

Bedbugs feed at night, and because their bites are painless, fill up on enough blood for weeks with one bite, then retreat into their hiding places. This is part of why discovering bedbug infestations can be so difficult. And because the symptoms can be easily confused with other itch and rash inducing agents, bedbugs can go unnoticed.

So if you think that you have bedbugs, call the bedbug inspectors to get rid of bedbugs. Bed bug control begins with you, after that the inspectors send in a team of dogs, which can sniff out the culprits if they are there.

Getting Rid of Bedbugs: How Trained Dog Teams Can Help

Posted on : 2:21 PM | By : Ajax Union Blogging | In : , , , ,


Although dogs have been used for decades to detect missing people, bombs, and even drugs, they have only been sniffing out bedbugs for the past couple of years. These canines sometimes begin their training as puppies, and can often detect multiple instincts, including bedbugs and termites. If you're trying to prevent bed bugs, a dog team might be just what you're looking for.

You might think that training canines to detect bedbugs is a lot of work, but dog teams are always huge time-savers in the end — it only takes them two or three minutes to sweep a typical room! Plus, many dogs are even trained to differentiate among live and dead bed bugs, and well as detecting their eggs and fecal matter.

If you're still on the fence about hiring a dog team, remember that these canines aren't just used to help individual homeowners and renters. Businesses and organizations of all sizes rely on these same teams of dogs every day, including hospitals, summer camps, colleges, hotels, and even military barracks. When it comes to getting rid of bedbugs, even places like these can use a hand.

Did you know?

The bedbug is a microscopic parasite that is a large part of the Cimicidae family. Their survival depends on a large supply of blood from humans or any type of animal that is warm blooded. They tend to inhabit humans beds or anywhere that people or animals sleep, thus the name bedbug. During the early part of the 1940`s the Americans used pesticides to get rid of bedbugs.

This was thought to have completely eradicated the problem. In recent years, however, they have made a comeback and this has prompted the development of many of the fantastic bed bug control products on the market today. There are many different products and methods available when it's time to get rid of bedbugs; many believe that the use of alcohol or steam to be a successful option but it does not permanently resolve the issue. These methods can generally just be used for small infected areas.

A superb option to prevent bed bugs is to use one of the many protective sheets that completely cover the mattress to stop the bedbugs cultivating in the first place.

Bedbugs have experienced resurgence in the past decade, putting individuals on edge, and requiring extra vigilance against these obnoxious pests. You have probably heard some general information about how to get rid of bedbugs, but should an infestation happen to you, or to someone you know, it is important to be informed of some of the steps that you can take to effectively control the situation. Bed bug control is especially challenging, since the creatures are microscopic and can be hard to view with the naked eye.

If you suspect bedbugs however, consider inspecting your mattress, with emphasis on the corners, with a magnifying glass or flashlight to detect any signs, such as eggs, droppings, or the insects themselves. If you find signs of the pests, then consider the following actions: Steam cleaning and very high temperatures are proven to be effective ways to kill bedbugs. Consider having your mattress cleaned with a fabric steamer, and tumble your bedding in a high temperature, industrial dryer.

Providing your bed was the only infested area, these treatments should be the most effective means of getting rid of bedbugs. Once you have dealt with the problem, you will want to take action to prevent bed bugs from returning. Consider sealing your mattress and box spring with a bedbug-resistant cover or encasement.

There are actually quite a few things you can do in order to get rid of bedbugs. You can either do this on a DIY basis and buy a product that will kill bedbugs - which could be somewhat scary especially if you know nothing about bedbugs. You can do it from a natural way, and find recipes and solutions online that are going to help you prevent bed bugs and kill bedbugs on the spot - which is still scary if you don't know anything about them. Or.... you can hire someone to kill bedbugs.

Getting rid of bedbugs can be such a nuisance and a pain if you don't know what they are, how they got there or how to get rid of them. Bedbugs - unlike the ones our parents used to say goodnight to us with - "Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite", are actually quite horrific.

These little bugs can be compared to fleas, lice and ticks in that they love humans! Aren't we lucky! These bedbugs feed off of human blood and will quite literally "bite" you. The result? A small red blotch, somewhat like a mosquito bite that is going to itch like crazy! These are one of the hardest bugs to get rid of which is why you should consider bed bug control with a licensed bedbug inspection company!
