Bed bugs don't come from dirt. They hitchhike in on bags, furniture and clothing, and in apartment buildings they travel between units. These are the three ways we see it happen most.
Hotels, motels, buses and overnight guests are the most common start. Bed bugs ride home in suitcases and bags and settle in the nearest bed.
In apartments and two-family homes, bed bugs crawl between units through wall voids and pipe gaps. Treating one unit and ignoring the next one lets them come right back.
Used mattresses, couches, bed frames and clothing can carry bed bugs and eggs. Check every seam and joint before anything secondhand comes inside.
Bed bugs hide within a few feet of where people sleep or sit: mattress seams and tags, box springs, bed frames, headboards, couch cushions, baseboards, outlets and picture frames.

We check beds, furniture, baseboards, outlets and closets to confirm bed bugs and find every room they're in.
We show you what we found and tell you the price before any work starts. No surprises.
You get our bed bug prep sheet. Then we treat every affected room with Aprehend, steam and crack-and-crevice treatment, and put bed bug–proof encasements on the mattress and box spring.
We come back to check for bed bugs that hatched after the first treatment and make sure they're gone.
Some steps really help while you wait for us. Others make it worse.
| Helps right now | Avoid |
|---|---|
| Wash and dry bedding and clothes on high heat | Moving to the couch or another bedroom (they follow you) |
| Vacuum mattress seams and bed frame; seal the bag and throw it out outside | Bug bombs and foggers; they push bed bugs into walls and other rooms |
| Put a bed bug–proof cover on the mattress and box spring | Throwing out the mattress untreated (it spreads bugs on the way out) |
| Tell your landlord in writing if you rent | Bringing in new furniture before the bed bugs are gone |
Traveling? Check the mattress seams and headboard before you unpack, keep your suitcase on the luggage rack and run your clothes through a hot dryer when you get home.
Spring break and holiday travel bring bed bugs home in luggage. Check your bags before they go in the bedroom.
Summer is busy travel and moving season, and bed bugs feed and breed fastest in the warm months.
College move-ins, used furniture and returning travelers keep bed bug calls going strong.
Bed bugs live indoors, so heat keeps them active all winter, especially in apartment buildings.
Bed bugs in one unit can spread to the next. We inspect the affected unit and the ones around it, give tenants a prep checklist and schedule follow-ups so the building stays clear. See commercial pest control.
It depends on how many rooms have bed bugs, the size of the home and how long they've been there. We give a free quote and tell you the price before any work starts. See how much an exterminator costs in NJ.

Wash and dry your bedding and clothes on high heat, vacuum the mattress seams and keep sleeping in your own bed so they don't spread. Bed bugs hide in many places and their eggs survive most sprays, so a professional treatment with a prep checklist and a follow-up visit is the reliable fix. Call or text Silver Bullet Pest Control at 973-510-2585.

Bed bugs are not known to spread disease. Their bites can itch, cause allergic reactions or get infected from scratching, and an infestation can cost you a lot of sleep.
Yes, when it's done right. We use products labeled for indoor use, treat only where it's needed and tell you when it's safe to go back into each room.
Yes. Bed bugs move between units through shared walls, so we work with tenants, landlords and property managers and recommend checking the units next to the one with bed bugs.
