BedBug911 is running thicker-skinned bedbugs right out of town!

Brooklyn, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/05/2016 -- With their innovative approach to extermination, BedBug911 is chasing bedbugs out of NYC. The company has accomplished much of its success in getting rid of bedbugs by evolving their methods and techniques as the bedbugs evolve themselves.

During the surge of the bedbug epidemic in the late 2000s, many people experienced growing frustrations with the lack of available bedbug treatment options. Many chemical pesticides were banned, and bedbugs had evolved to resist most others with their thicker than normal skin. BedBug911 developed a solution to combat this issue.

By teaming up with sister company Hygea Natural to develop a natural bedbug extermination product, BedBug911 found a way to chase bedbugs out of NYC that was both safe and effective. Using the Hygea Natural sprays in combination with their 3 Step Process has made BedBug911 a leader in bedbug extermination.

Bedbugs have developed a resistance to chemical pesticides by developing a thicker skin which protects them, and buys them time to escape extermination just long enough to repopulate. These newly evolved bedbugs have been tough on exterminators everywhere, and are directly related to the bedbug epidemic of the current decade. BedBug911 responds to the evolving bedbugs with comprehensive bedbug extermination techniques.

About BedBug911
BedBug911 uses a process that ensures bedbugs cannot hide from nor escape extermination, and since the products they use are made of natural ingredients the bedbugs have no way of becoming genetically immune. The company is a driving force in eradicating bedbugs from New York, and their extermination services have resulted unrivaled success in eradicating bedbugs from NYC.

The combination of BedBug911's 3 Step Process and their use of natural extermination sprays means that BedBug911 is able to provide bedbug extermination services rarely found on the market. The company is one of very few that is able to successfully get rid of bedbugs without employing the use of harmful chemicals.

Q: Can bed bugs be prevented?

Q: What are some ways that people get bed bugs in the first place?
BedBug911: One of the common ways to get bed bugs is by bringing home items from the street. A great way to prevent bed bugs is not to collect items found on the street.

Q: Is picking furniture up from the street the only way people get bed bugs?
BedBug911: No, people can also bring infestations home while traveling on the bus or train, from hotel rooms, or buying second hand clothing. They can also travel through electrical outlets in multi family buildings.

Q: So, how do we protect ourselves when travelling, or shopping?
BedBug911: There is a bed bug travel spray by Hygea Natural that can be used is public places before sitting, such as a bus or a train.

Q: What about protecting our beds?

Q: Are hotels and apartment buildings easily infested?
Bed Bug 911: Yes and no, because of the high traffic in these places, it is definitely possible to get an infestation. However, a good building manager will be sure to take preventative measures against bed bugs.

Q: What are some things that a building manager can do to keep the area safe?
Bed Bug 911: Building managers are required to have routine inspections for pests. We offer a bed bug detection service, using K9s to sniff out a potential infestation.

Q: How do I know if I have bed bugs?
Bed Bug 911: One of the ways you can tell you have bed bugs by the bites; they will leave multiple bites in the same area. Check the seams of your mattress for brown dots, as that's where bed bugs thrive.

How BedBug911 and Hoarders911 work together

Brooklyn, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/05/2016 -- Hoarders are at very high risk for attracting bed bugs. Exterminators at BedBug911 report that the worst infestations they've seen are in the homes of hoarders.

"The number one cause of bed bug infestation is picking up furniture from the street," says an exterminator of the Brooklyn based company, "we see this a lot with hoarders."

The massive clutter in a hoarding house hold creates many challenges for exterminators, as it becomes impossible to keep track of all the places bed bugs could be hiding. To get the best results, BedBug911 and its sister company Hoarders911, incorporate their 7 Step Hoarding Solution. The 7 steps are:

1. Clutter cleanup and de-cluttering the home
2. Rubbish removal and junk removal
3. Initial home organization
4. Extermination, treatment
5. Paint, repair, handy man services
6. Restoration and construction
7. Heavy duty cleaning services

The Dangers Facing Hoarders:

Bed bugs are one of the hardest pests to exterminate. Because hoarder homes are so unsanitary, the bites, itching, and rashes from bed bugs can be confused with something else and the infestation could go unnoticed until it becomes uncontrollable.

Studies show that 1 in 10 Americans are reported to have a bed bug infestation (Enforcer), and 1 in 50 are hoarders (International OCD Foundation). That's 633,800 people at risk to a bed bug infestation! Together, BedBug911 and Hoarders911 have got you covered.

About BedBug911 and Hoarders911
BedBug911 and Hoarders911 have been leading the industry with their dual approach to extermination for decades. By combining BedBug911 extermination treatment with the Hoarder911 7 step solution, the sister companies have devised a way to reclaim a home from all angles, maximize recovery, and prevent massive infestation in the future.

BedBug911 talks picking up a date without picking up bed bugs, too.

Brooklyn, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/05/2016 -- If you've got a functional, beating heart, then chances are bed bugs are not your idea of a good date. But, they might be joining you anyway if you're not careful.

"Many people are surprised when they have an infestation," says an exterminator at BedBug911, "because their homes are usually clean. We try to explain to them that, they could have picked even one up from outside, and that's all it takes." Bed bugs have just become the latest reason to screen your dates.

According to experts at Bed Bug 911, bed bugs can infest areas that we generally trust to be clean. Places like restaurants, movie theaters, or your new TNDR fling's apartment, could be crawling with bed bugs waiting to come home with you. "If the building manager isn't doing his job and getting monthly inspections, it's very possible have an infestation and not know it."

This is bad news for singles, but even worse news for businesses, who will no doubt suffer great losses if come down with bed bug infestation. Because areas like these are popular for dates, and therefore highly trafficked, infestations can rapidly grow out of control if not nipped in the bud.

The good news is, BedBug911 and their bed bug sniffing dog can detect bed bugs before it becomes it becomes an infestation. "Businesses hire us and we come once a month to make sure the place is up to code and bed bug free, we do it for multi-family buildings too." The BedBug911 inspections include the dog as well as a visual check from an expert, a winning combination for the night life.

Doing your homework on a dating venue before going out to meet your next Prince or Princess Charming can protect you from bringing home any unwanted guests after the ball. Make sure the next hot spot you visit gets checked regularly, and always use protection. Mattress encasement's are the perfect way to protect your bed from infestation.

Nothing ruins a night like bed bug bites, and they guarantee you won't be getting that second date. For more bed bug prevention tips, visit the BedBug911 website:

We are well into the school year now and many folks have had to deal with the news that their child’s school has had an incident of a bed bug or lice infestation.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/15/2013 -- All schools regardless of economic foothold can have an outbreak. Most schools have an action plan in place but there are things that you can do as a parent to help protect your child, family and home from a traumatic and expensive infestation.

Educate yourself:

Bed Bugs love to travel – they don't care if your child's backpack is made from leather or vinyl – they want to come home with you.

Ask your child's school, school nurse, teacher, teachers aid – what action plan is in place so that you can best compliment their efforts.

Speak to your child and ask them to let you know if any of their friends have had an infestation from recent travel or if they see any bites on their skin.

Arm Yourself:

Bed bug and lice infestations are going to happen. The difference is if you are prepared and ready to act. Have your own action plan in place – remember your first line of defense is communication with your child. You may not hear about an infestation from your child's school for days and by then there may be a breach. Make sure you talk with your child at the beginning of the school year and let them know what to look out for.

Your action plan should include:

- How to quarantine your child's clothes and anything s/he has come in contact with

- What to do if you need to call in a professional

- How to check your child's belongings

- What products should you have at the ready at home

- Products you should have at the ready include:

- Bedbug911 Exterminator Spray

- Bedbug911 Travel Spray

- Lice Essentials Line of Mousse, Shampoo, Detangler

- The phone number of reputable Licensed exterminator and prep company in the event of an infestation

Again any school can be stricken with an infestation regardless of proactive measures, but it its up to you to keep it from entering your home. Following these proactive measures as well as having a plan in place will help ensure that you are always at the ready to handle any such emergency.

As prepared as a college student might be, most never consider bed bugs as part of college life.

Brooklyn, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/21/2013 -- As prepared as a college student might be, most never consider bed bugs as part of college life. A recent survey conducted by the NPMA found that 47% of bed bug exterminators reported frequent exterminations at colleges and universities.

A recent job brought to topic that many folks get scammed when hiring a Bed Bug Exterminator.

Brooklyn, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/20/2013 -- A recent job brought to topic that many folks get scammed when hiring a Bed Bug Exterminator. Recently our project manager arrived at a job to spec a prep job and found an unlicensed exterminator spraying only the top of a mattress that had infested an entire apartment.

Exterminators are licensed in every state in the US. They must be able to produce a valid, up-to-date state issued license. In this particular instance the unlicensed exterminator charged the tenant only $50 – that should have been the first alarm. Further an infestation that is allowed to fester will not only get worse but will cost more and more to rectify with every day that passes.

Where can infestations come from?

- Recent travel/hotel stays
- College dorms/students visiting
- Public transportation
- Coat check
- Hospitals
- Second hand furniture
- Second hand electronics
- Second hand clothing

Our project manager was at the premises to price out prep work. Prep work is an integral part of the successful fight of bed bug exterminating and it is one of the reasons that Bed Bug 911 is unsurpassed in service offerings, bed bug products, and when trying to get rid of bed bugs. Bed Bug 911 and its sister company, Home Clean Home, Inc. work in tandem to handle all of the bed bug prep and extermination.

What is bed bug prep work?

Prep work is the painstaking preparation, sorting, selection, organizing and removal that must happen before a successful and permanent extermination. The tenant mentioned in this incident above thought that spraying the top of his mattress would suffice.

First and foremost you should know that any reputable company will tailor a prep work plan and bed bug exterminator services for you. Also most extermination companies who value you as a customer will refer you to a reputable bed bug prep company like Bed Bug 911 and Home Clean Home, Inc., Inc. We work with many other bed bug exterminator companies so that you can get this necessary service. Also many companies will charge you for canine services when you already know you have bed bugs. Canine services are provided by only when an infestation is uncertain.

Ground zero for exposure can be any hotel, motel or lodging accommodation. Whether it be a 5 star hotel or a hut, if it’s frequented by travelers, bed bugs may be thriving and poised for attack.

Brooklyn, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/21/2013 -- Traveling at any time of year can cause exposure to bed bugs, but the increase in summer travel can amplify incidences of infections. Frequent travelers, like those who move about for work are the most prone to bringing stowaways home. Ground zero for exposure can be any hotel, motel or lodging accommodation. Whether it be a 5 star hotel or a hut, if it's frequented by travelers, bed bugs may be thriving and poised for attack.

1) Before you book check to see if the city you are staying in has a bed bug registry. Choose a hotel that has had no incidents.

2) Once booked call ahead and ask what the housekeeping policies are for bed bug prevention. Ask if they use any Bed Bug 911 products or similar. Better establishments protect their guests with preventive methods and products like mattress encasements, pillow covers, bed bug laundry and dry cleaning services.

3) When you arrive to your hotel room place your luggage in the bathtub or on the luggage stand. You can even bring a trash bag to keep your luggage in during your stay. Never put your clothes in drawers nor closets before you have thoroughly inspected your room. Pack light and try to bring crease resistant garments that can be kept rolled in your suitcase. Only take clothing out when you are ready to wear them.

4) Carry a mini flashlight! Shine it to the back of the headboard, the insides of drawers, the seams of the mattress and any nook that can hold a critter. BedBug911 offers travelers a TSA approved 3 oz travel bed bug 3 oz travel bed bug spray, which instantly dissolves bed bugs on contact, has a 100% kill rate, and leaves a tell-tale red smear, that gives visual confirmation if bugs are present. The same spray can be used in your rental car or train for visual confirmation.

5) If bed bugs are present leave the room immediately and as for another room at another hotel and for a refund. If that is not an option ask for a room that is not above, below nor next to the infested room.

6) Bed bug prevention must continue at home. Collapsible luggage is another defense as they are able to be loaded into a dryer. Leave your bag in the dryer for at least 30 minutes. The dryer must be at least 130 degrees Fahrenheit to kill.

A whole array of BedBug911 products are available at www.bedbug911.com. Bed bug infestations are just part of the nature of travel, however it's the preventive approach from both you and where you choose to stay that can make all the difference.
