New York Bed Bug Kit - Questions & Answers

The reason bed bug populations have exploded all over the country is their ability to move easily on people and in their belongings.  Bed Bugs in New York have been found in cabs, movie theatres, clothing stores, etc.  They can easily attach to clothing or belongings and be transported without detection sometimes.  It is very important to be very thorough and treat any places or surfaces that you congregate or site for a period of time, including the couch.

First, let us tell you that our packages are very discreet. We only use plain brown boxes or priority mail boxes, there are no "pest company" logos on the outside of the box. The return label does usually say the name of our company, but it is not big or in a bright color or anything. Also, upon request we can make the return shipping label just say "shipping, shipping" and the name of our company will not be visible at all. If you wish for your package to not have our company name, you can request that option in the "order comments" section while you are placing your order. This box is on the same page where you select your shipping options. If placing your order on the phone, please let the representative know that you would like your package to be discreet.

It does not really matter which you use first because all of the products are typically used in different places.  For the most part though, you typically apply the Steri-Fab and Bedlam first (the sprays) and then the dust product last after the sprays are dry.

You should apply liquids first and allow them to dry before you apply dusts. You can spray Bedlam and Sterifab in the same areas but it would be somewhat redundant to do so. We recommend that you use the Sterifab in the most sensitive areas where you may come into skin contact (upholstered furniture, surface of mattresses) and use the Bedlam directly in cracks in crevices where you might not be able to get the Sterifab to go (joints in furniture, tufts, seams and folds of furniture and mattresses, headboards or foot boards). You can also refer to the Bedbug Guide which came with your kit for even more specific instructions on each product.

No, none of our products included in the New York Bedbug Kit are harmful to humans or pets when the directions are followed correctly.  You should always keep children and pets out of the room while you are applying the products.  Once the products have dried, usually after 1 hour, then it is perfectly safe to allow children and pets back into the room.

There is not an IGR included in the New York Bed Bug Kit or any of our bed bug kits.  There really has not been enough research done to show how effective IGR's are in bed bug control.  Gentrol IGR is the only IGR that is actually labeled for use on bed bugs.  However, it is not 100% guaranteed to work every single time in every home.  With that lack of 100%, we don't want to make you pay for it as part of a kit, so we give it to you as an option to purchase separately should you choose to do so.  Please let us know if you have any other questions.

All of our kits can ship to NY now with the exception of the Commercial Bedbug Kit. We have included the Zenprox Aerosol in this particular kit because many of our NY customers submitted feedback that they simply did not need the bottle of concetrate for the small spaces they were treating.
