Hunts Point's aging multifamily buildings along the East River waterfront and throughout the neighborhood's residential blocks create ideal conditions for bed bug spread, particularly in older walk-ups constructed before modern pest control standards. The area's dense population and proximity to the Hunts Point Market—one of the city's largest commercial hubs—means increased foot traffic and delivery vehicle movement that can introduce infestations across the neighborhood.
Hunts Point is dominated by pre-war and mid-century multifamily walk-ups and low-rise apartment buildings, many constructed in the 1920s-1960s with shared walls and common entry areas.

We offer service agreements on our treatment work. Terms are explained before work begins.
In older Hunts Point walk-ups with shared walls and interconnected plumbing, bed bugs can migrate between adjacent units through cracks, gaps around pipes, and electrical outlets—so treating only your apartment often isn't enough to stop reinfestation. A professional inspection should evaluate the extent of the problem across units to determine whether neighbors need treatment simultaneously. Your landlord may be responsible for coordinating building-wide treatment depending on the infestation's scope, so document what you find and notify management in writing. Individual unit treatment works best when the infestation is caught early and isolated, but established populations in older buildings typically require coordinated action.
Heat treatment raises room temperature to 120°F+, killing all bed bugs and eggs typically in a single visit. Chemical treatment uses EPA-registered pesticides applied to hiding spots over 2–3 visits. For severe infestations, combination treatment (both methods) delivers the highest success rate.
Preparation depends on the treatment type. Heat treatment requires minimal prep — mostly clearing highly flammable items and pets. Chemical treatment requires washing and bagging bedding, clearing under beds, and temporary relocation for a few hours.
Heat treatment: you can return the same day once the space has cooled, usually 6 hours after treatment. Chemical treatment: you'll need to stay out for 2 to 6 hours after the tech leaves.
Every treatment includes a service agreement that is documented before we begin. Service agreement terms vary by treatment type — ask your technician for details.
Yes, bed bugs spread readily between units in dense apartment buildings through wall voids, electrical conduits, and shared hallways — especially common in older Bronx multifamily housing. We recommend getting your unit inspected right away rather than waiting to see bites, since early detection is much easier to treat than a developed infestation.
NYCHA and subsidized housing residents in the Bronx have the right to a habitable unit, which includes freedom from bed bug infestations. Document everything in writing and file a complaint with NYCHA housing management. You can also request a professional third-party inspection to confirm the infestation independently for any disputes.
In a multifamily building, a single infested unit is almost never isolated — bed bugs typically spread to adjacent units before they're discovered. Property owners should inspect all immediately neighboring units (above, below, and on each side) at minimum. A building-wide assessment is often the most cost-effective approach for preventing re-infestation.
