NEW JERSEY · BED BUGS
Bed Bug Exterminator for NJ Homes and Apartments
We inspect, confirm it is bed bugs, treat to a written plan, and come back to verify. Most jobs need more than one visit — anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you a single treatment.

Written treatment plan
Do you actually have bed bugs?
Five things to look for. If you find two or more, it is worth an inspection.
Bites in a line or a small cluster, usually on skin that was uncovered while you slept.
Small rust-coloured blood spots on the sheets or the mattress edge.
Dark specks, like ground pepper, along mattress seams, the bed frame joints and behind the headboard.
Shed skins — translucent, the shape of the insect, usually near a harbourage point.
A sweet, musty smell in a room that has been closed up. It is faint, and people usually notice it before they see anything.
How Eliminatis treats bed bugs
No proprietary-sounding programme name. This is the actual sequence.
Inspection — we find the harbourage points rather than treating where the bites happened. Those are rarely the same place.
Identification — we confirm it is bed bugs and not carpet beetles, bat bugs or a skin reaction to something else. Treating the wrong insect wastes your money and your time.
Targeted treatment — applied to the harbourage, seams, frames and voids, not sprayed across a room.
Follow-up — a second visit, because eggs are not reliably killed by the first application. This is the step budget operators skip.
Verification — monitors left in place so the result is observed rather than assumed.
What you need to do before we arrive
Strip the beds and wash all bedding hot, then dry on high heat for at least 30 minutes. Heat is what kills them, not the wash.
Bag laundered items and keep them sealed until after the treatment, so they are not re-infested.
Clear the floor around beds and furniture so we can reach the frames and skirting.
Do not move furniture or mattresses to another room. It is the single most common way a one-room problem becomes a whole-apartment problem.
Do not treat it yourself with a store-bought spray first. Repellent products scatter the population and make the professional treatment harder.
Bed bugs in New Jersey apartments — who pays?
It depends on the building, and the distinction is real rather than a technicality.
In buildings of three or more units, New Jersey's Hotel and Multiple Dwelling Health and Safety Code places the remediation duty on the landlord where bed bugs appear in more than one unit. The landlord arranges and pays for treatment of the affected units and the common areas.
In single-family and two-unit buildings, local housing code typically places the burden on the tenant, unless landlord neglect caused the infestation. The warranty of habitability still applies generally, which is why a tenant with a documented, ignored complaint is in a materially different position from one who never reported it.
In practice: report it in writing, keep the copy, and get the treatment documented. We issue a written record of every application, which is the document either party ends up needing.
This is general information about New Jersey rules, not legal advice. For advice on your own tenancy, speak to a lawyer or to Legal Services of New Jersey.
Is it safe for children and pets?
Every product we apply is registered for the use we put it to, and every application is recorded — the product, its EPA registration number, its active ingredients and the amount mixed.
Where a label carries a restricted-entry interval, we tell you the exact time before you can go back in, in writing, before we start. If we cannot treat safely around a household with an infant, a pregnant occupant or an animal that cannot be moved, we will say so and propose a different approach rather than proceed.
There is no eco badge on this page because a badge is not a safety fact. The label and the record are.
One-time treatment or ongoing protection
Bed bugs are usually a one-time job with a follow-up rather than a recurring plan. Recurring service makes sense for multi-family buildings, student rentals and anywhere with high turnover, where re-introduction is the real risk rather than treatment failure.
We do not publish prices. Bed bug work is priced from the inspection — the number of rooms, the level of infestation and the building type all move it, and a published figure would be one we revised on site.
Bed bug questions we get asked
How many visits does it take?
Usually two, sometimes three. The first treatment deals with the active population; the follow-up deals with what hatches afterwards. A single visit is not a realistic promise and we will not make it.
Do I have to throw out my mattress?
Usually not. An encasement after treatment is cheaper and works. If a mattress is structurally damaged or heavily infested we will tell you, but discarding furniture is not a default step — and moving it through the building is how the problem spreads.
Will the neighbours know?
We arrive in unmarked vehicles on request. In a multi-unit building the landlord may be required to notify occupants of a pesticide application — that duty is theirs and it is about the chemical, not about you.
Can you treat while I keep living there?
Yes, in almost all cases. You will need to stay out for the re-entry period on the label, which we give you in writing before we start.
How did I get them?
Almost always travel or second-hand furniture, occasionally an adjoining unit. It is not a cleanliness problem, and we are not going to treat it like one.
¿Tratan chinches en apartamentos?
Sí. Nuestros técnicos hablan español y le entregamos el plan de tratamiento por escrito antes de comenzar.
Don't wait on bed bugs.
The population doubles while you decide. Call and we will tell you when we can inspect.
