Bedbug Control in New Jersey
How to get rid of bed bugs in your home
Servicing greater Jersey City, Newark, Paterson, NJ

Bedbugs are one of the most difficult insects to eradicate. Recent studies have indicated that bedbugs are resistant to many pesticide products currently on the market. Effective bedbug control requires a comprehensive, integrated bedbug management approach.
Effective bedbug control requires customer cooperation, extensive vacuuming, steam cleaning, encapsulating the infested bedding, the application of pesticide products where needed, and several followup treatments.
Quest Crawl Space Systems' coverage area includes New Jersey, including Newark, Paterson, Jersey City, Edison, Elizabeth, Clifton, Toms River, Union City, East Orange, Passaic and all other cities and towns in the area. Call or e-mail us for a bedbug control inspection & quote!
Preparing for a Bedbug Control Job
It is imperative that painstaking attention be provided to every possible harborage area, as well as a high level of cooperation on the part of the customer. Customers preparing for a bedbug treatment are expected to do the following prior to the arrival of the pest control technician:
- Remove all clutter and stored items. The more the clutter the more protection is provided for bedbugs, and the more complicated to provide an adequate treatment.
- Strip all beds in the affected room(s) and thoroughly vacuum the mattresses. If possible, steam cleaning will greatly increase the likelihood of success of a bedbug job.
- Remove any removable textiles (carpeting, throw pillows, draperies, etc.) and either wash them in detergent and the hottest water they can stand or have them professionally cleaned. Seal whatever you can in heavy-duty plastic bags and store them in an uninfected area.
- Empty all cabinets, dressers, night tables, and closets. Clean all clothing and other textiles as described above.
- Thoroughly vacuum (and shampoo, if possible) all carpeting, and wash all other floors. Make sure to allow enough time for them to thoroughly dry before the pest management technician's arrival.
How To Treat Bed Bugs In Your Home
Bedbugs in their nymph stage are a light, translucent color. A single female bedbug can deposit hundreds of eggs in its lifetime.
When Quest Crawl Space Systems service technicians treat your property for bedbugs, this is what we'll do for your home:
- Thoroughly vacuum the infested areas with a professional pest control HEPA filter vacuum and steam clean with the Kleenjet Pro Plus 300cs commercial vapor steam cleaner. This treatment includes all potential bedbug harborage areas, such as bedding, furniture, and cracks and crevices.
- Encapsulate your mattress and box spring with the "Protect-A-Bed" bedbug encasement, which we provide as part of our comprehensive home bedbug control program.
- Apply a thorough application of an EPA-registered insecticide to all treatable cracks and crevices, particularly around carpet tack, walls and closets, utilizing several products including growth regulators. These products include, but are not limited to: Phantom, Suspend SC, Demand, Gentrol, Steri-Fab, Delta Dust, and Bedlam.
Our service includes inspection, initial vacuuming, steam cleaning, pesticide application, encapsulating products for bedding, and free callbacks within the warranty period. We provide a closed-ended six month warranty (contingent on customer preparation, cooperation, and followup).
