Camden County's older urban housing stock and dense multi-family rentals create significant bed bug pressure, particularly in Camden City, Pennsauken, and Cherry Hill. Our certified team serves Runnemede and all of Camden County with heat treatment for bed bugs — fast response, professional results.
Heat treatment is the only method that kills eggs, nymphs, and adults in a single visit.
Runnemede is a compact residential borough in Camden County with a mix of single-family homes and older multi-unit rental properties clustered around Route 130 and local residential streets. The proximity to Philadelphia transit corridors and the dense housing stock in some neighborhoods create conditions where bed bugs can spread between adjoining properties, particularly in the rental market along Chester Avenue and the central borough area.
Runnemede is predominantly single-family homes built in the early-to-mid 20th century, with pockets of duplex and small apartment complexes in the borough's core.

We stand behind our work. Retreatment included if bed bugs return within the warranty period.
In Runnemede's duplex and small multi-unit rental properties, bed bugs commonly travel between units through shared walls, electrical outlets, and baseboard gaps, especially in the aging structures that dominate areas like Chester Avenue and the central borough neighborhoods. These older buildings often have settling foundations and cracks that create direct pathways between units. If your neighbor has an infestation, bed bugs can reach your space within days or weeks. Early detection through professional inspection is critical in shared-wall situations, and coordinating treatment with adjacent units is essential to prevent reinfestation from neighboring spaces.
We use industrial electric heaters to raise the temperature in your home to 118–120°F for several hours. At these temperatures, bed bugs die at all life stages — eggs, nymphs, and adults — within minutes of reaching the target temperature. Multiple temperature sensors ensure every area reaches lethal heat.
Heat treatment is suitable for most household items. Before treatment, you'll remove heat-sensitive items: certain electronics, candles, pressurized cans, vinyl records, and pets/plants. We provide a detailed prep list. Everything else — furniture, clothing, bedding — stays in place.
Yes, when performed correctly. Heat treatment's single-treatment effectiveness is its primary advantage over chemical treatment. We use calibrated sensors to verify every area reaches lethal temperature, including inside mattresses and wall voids.
Heat treatment typically costs $1,000–$3,000+ depending on unit size and severity. Studio apartments start around $1,000; larger homes or severe infestations may cost more. Call (888) 308-9967 for a precise quote based on your specific situation.
New Jersey law requires landlords to maintain habitable conditions, which includes addressing bed bug infestations. If your landlord is unresponsive, document all communication in writing and file a complaint with the City of Camden's code enforcement office. An independent inspection gives you documented evidence of the infestation to support your case and compel a response.
In Camden County's dense multifamily stock, a single infested unit can spread to neighbors within weeks. The most effective response is to inspect all immediately adjacent units — above, below, and beside — at the same time as the reported unit. Treating all active units simultaneously prevents cross-infestation during the treatment period and dramatically reduces the chance of reinfestation.
Transitional housing facilities have unique challenges: high resident turnover, limited control over belongings brought in, and shared spaces all accelerate bed bug spread. A formal bed bug management protocol — including inspection at intake, regular room inspections, and immediate treatment of any confirmed case — is the most effective and cost-efficient long-term approach for these properties.
