Bed Bugs Are Prone To New York City Renters & Travelers

It is impossible to know everything that happened in an empty, available unit.  Travelers, renters, even new homeowners, should all be cautious before moving into a new space and spreading potential infestations to their belongings. Read below for some useful tips or call Assured Environments for more information.

House & Apartment Rentals

Before moving into a new home or apartment, perform a professional pest inspection. This should include:

• Thorough visual inspection of new space for pests: cracks, crevices, baseboards
• Removal of outlet covers and inspection of wall voids
• Bed Bug K9 Scent Detection for the entire space
• Removal of items and corrections of conditions that support pest infestations
• Visual inspection of exterior, neighboring hallways, basements and attics
• Use the Bed Bug Annihilator to eradicate pests (bed bugs, moths, beetles, etc.) from items that were in storage

Hotels & Lodging

You can pick up bed bugs and other insects when traveling to or from New York and New Jersey. When traveling you should be sure to:

• Perform a visual inspection of your luggage after retrieving from baggage claim and prior to arriving at home or the hotel room
• Perform a visual inspection of the hotel room or bedroom you will be staying in and the mattress you will be sleeping on
• Don’t unpack or place your clothing in hotel drawers
• Place your luggage on a rack, not on the floor
• Use Cimex Rest Assured on your luggage when returning home
• Once home, immediately wash and dry all clothes - on the hottest setting (or Annihilate or dry clean)
