Serving 7 counties & 330+ towns across New York
New York State consistently ranks among the top states in the nation for bed bug infestations. The combination of dense urban housing, heavy tourism, extensive public transit systems, and a massive population of multi-family dwellings creates ideal conditions for bed bug spread. From Manhattan high-rises to Long Island suburbs, bed bugs are an equal-opportunity pest that affects every type of property.
The Bed Bug Inspectors has been serving New York since our founding in 2009, making us one of the most experienced bed bug specialists in the state. Our protocols are designed by Research Entomologist Jeff White of BedBug Central, ensuring every inspection and treatment follows scientifically-proven methods. We serve residential homes, apartment buildings, hotels, nursing homes, and commercial properties across 7 counties.
New York's tenant protection laws require landlords to address bed bug infestations promptly, and our detailed inspection reports provide the documentation property managers and tenants need. Whether you're dealing with a suspected infestation in a Brooklyn brownstone, a confirmed case in a Nassau County home, or a hotel prevention program in Suffolk County, our team delivers fast, effective results.
New York has one of the highest concentrations of apartment buildings and multi-family homes in the country, allowing bed bugs to spread easily between units through shared walls, plumbing, and electrical conduits.
With over 60 million visitors annually to NYC alone, plus Long Island's seasonal tourism, bed bugs are constantly being reintroduced to hotels, Airbnbs, and residential properties by travelers.
The MTA subway and bus system, LIRR, and Metro-North create daily opportunities for bed bug transfer. Upholstered seats and crowded conditions facilitate hitchhiking between locations.
Much of New York's housing dates to the early-to-mid 1900s, with plenty of cracks, crevices, and voids in walls and floors that provide ideal bed bug harborage sites.
Cold winters mean New Yorkers spend more time indoors with heating systems running, creating the warm environments bed bugs thrive in 365 days a year.
Close-quarters living, shared laundry facilities, and secondhand furniture exchanges in densely populated areas accelerate the spread of infestations.
NESDCA-certified canine inspections that can detect bed bugs behind walls, under floors, and in furniture with over 95% accuracy — faster and more reliable than visual inspections alone.
Chemical-free whole-room heat treatments that raise room temperatures above 120°F, killing all life stages of bed bugs including eggs in a single treatment session.
Targeted EPA-registered pesticide applications using IPM protocols for situations where heat treatment isn't feasible, with follow-up visits to ensure complete elimination.
Ongoing monitoring programs for hotels, apartment buildings, and property management companies to catch infestations early before they spread.
Same-day and next-day inspection availability for urgent situations, with rapid treatment scheduling to minimize disruption and prevent further spread.
Follow-up inspections using K-9 detection and visual methods to confirm complete elimination and provide documentation for landlords and property managers.

Yes. Under New York City's Bed Bug Disclosure Act and state warranty of habitability laws, landlords in New York are generally responsible for bed bug extermination costs. Our detailed inspection reports provide the documentation both landlords and tenants need for compliance.
Yes, heat treatment works in apartments, though it requires coordination with property management and sometimes adjacent units. We work closely with building managers to prepare the space and ensure treatment is effective while minimizing disruption to neighboring tenants.
Bed bugs are found throughout all of New York, but densely populated areas with older multi-family housing tend to see higher rates. NYC boroughs, older Long Island communities, and Westchester's urban centers like Yonkers and New Rochelle are particularly affected.
Absolutely. Bed bugs commonly spread between apartment units through shared walls, electrical outlets, plumbing penetrations, and hallways. That's why we recommend building-wide inspections when an infestation is found in any unit, and many NYC property managers maintain ongoing monitoring programs.
