Why do I need to use so many different products?
It is important to treat the many different areas that bedbugs hide. Each product included in the kit has a specific function to help eliminate a bedbug infestation.
Kit Contents:
Steri-Fab: Steri-Fab is an alcohol based product that will evaporate after 10-20 minutes and leave no residual effect. Steri-Fab may be sprayed on almost any surface including those sensitive areas that you were not able to treat with other products.(Mattresses, sofas, bedding, dog beds, etc) This product is one of the only products that recent research shows will kill bedbug eggs. Application: Spray in areas of bedbug activity, such as tufts and folds of mattresses, sofas, etc. (Steri-Fab must come in direct contact with bedbugs and bedbug eggs to be effective).
Mother Earth D (8 oz. bottle): Dusts are great for applying under baseboards around the room,(this stops bedbugs from fleeing the room and spreading to other areas) for dusting on and inside the box spring itself, and for dusting in cracks and crevices where liquids may not go (such as in and behind picture frames, underneath furniture, in the cracks of dresser drawers, and in the joints cracks and hollow tubing of bed frames, etc). Mother Earth D is best applied with the hand duster that is included with your kit. Apply in a fine coating on surfaces, and do not over-dust. Leaving piles of dust will just cause the insect to walk around the dust and not through it.
Bellows Hand Duster: The bellows hand duster included with this kit should be used to apply the Drione dust to any cracks and crevices needed. By using the bellows hand duster you will be able to apply the correct amount of dust in the correct place.
Gentrol IGR (1oz): This product is an Insect Growth Regulator that prevents bed bugs from being able to reproduce, effectively stopping the breeding cycle of an infestation. Gentrol comes in a small brown bottle (1 oz.). Application: Add 1 oz of Gentrol to one gallon of water and using a gallon hand sprayer and apply in all the areas where recommended on the product label and in our bed bug instruction guide (included with your kit). DO NOT apply Gentrol IGR to bed linens or mattresses.
2-Cans Bedlam (17 oz): While Bedlam works as well as a concentrated liquid it comes in a convenient aerosol spray that may be sprayed on areas that other products cannot. Bedlam may be used for spot treatments on mattresses, upholstered furniture, drawers, bed frames, carpeted areas, curtains... You may also use Bedlam to knock down fleeing bedbugs after initial treatment of other insecticides. Includes a straw tool for spraying into small cracks, crevices and other hiding places.
Step-by-Step Instruction Guide : Five pages with pictures and information on how and where to use every product in your kit.
Recommended Accessories:
Bed Bug Mattress Cover / Box Spring Cover - Using a good quality bed bug proof mattress cover and box spring cover will allow you to protect and save your mattress and box spring from further infestation. The covers we sell are certified 100% bed bug bite proof and escape proof.
If you have bedbugs don't hesitate to get any one of these kits. They really do work. The cost of an Exterminator to come in and do it is $1600.

For all those suffering from bed bug-induced anxiety, stress, and insomnia, the NY bed bug kit will alleviate your misery. A little over a year ago we moved into a brownstone apartment in Brooklyn, completely naive to the prevalence of bed bugs in Brooklyn. It was only a few days after we moved in that I started waking up in the morning with trails of bites - I had no idea, I thought they were mosquito bites until the tenant upstairs started complaining and showed me large swollen welts all over her body that I realized we had a more serous problem. We contacted the landlord who immediately arranged for an exterminator but to no avail. After two exterminations the buggers just kept coming back, the walls infested. Moreover, the infestation in our apartment was exacerbated by the tenants who lived there prior on account of how filthy they kept the place. After 15 loads of laundry, daily vacuuming, sleepless nights, and the onset of a serious psychological breakdown (!) we did some research of our own and came across the NY bed bug kit. It worked like a charm - we haven't had any problems for nearly a year now. If the infestation is severe however, there's a good chance that the neighboring apartments are affected and it's likely the bugs will eventually come back so I suggest, in addition to the kit, particularly the Drione dust which we found most useful, you seal your baseboards (every crack for that matter) with caulking and the holes around the drain pipes with expanding foam. I also suggest a water proof vinyl covering for your mattress and if you do have a box spring, get rid of it. As far as storing your clothes and items in plastic for a year, there's no need, the kit will take care of that, just apply it and rest easy.

I purchased this kit when I saw four bedbugs in my apartment. I was bitten once on the shoulder and twice on my leg. After three exterminators told me I'd have to pay almost $1000 to have my tiny apartment treated, I decided to give the NY Bedbug kit a try. I spread the dust and sprayed down my bed and couches thoroughly with BedLam and the other spray. I sprayed all of my baseboards, cracks, and crevices as well. I vacuummed both couches, the floors and the bed almost everyday for two weeks...I also covered by bed in a queen-sized vinyl cover. I was NEVER bitten again. After I did the first procedure, I waited for two weeks and did it again! I also put down glue traps to catch any stray bedbugs...so far, I haven't seen anything or been bitten again. I will do this procedure two more times to be on the safe side....

Just moved into an apt with roommates and my room is Bedbug infested!!! I called your company and got some GREAT advice from one of your reps. She explained why there was a difference in product that can be shipped to NYC... i truly believe that your products will help me greatly since my exterminator uses some of the ones you have on your site and the ones that he did not use were mentioned to me by him...

Attention, NY. This is what you need. If you are part of the bedbug epidemic, and lots of you are, you are better off doing this yourself than relying on cheap landlords and slow public services.
The KEY (#1) to using this product effectively, and solving your bedbug problem, is to REPEAT TREATMENTS EVERY TWO WEEKS, and be consistent about it. One kit lasted me for three treatments, before I had to replenish one can of spray. Expect this process to take about 6-8 weeks, and don't get discouraged in the meantime.
KEY #2 is: You should also be sure to add the GENTROL IGR concentrate to this kit - you mix it with water and spritz it around. You can use the presurized sprayers for sale on this site, if you want, or even water spray-bottles for smaller treatments (adjust the dilution accordingly!). The GENTROL is CRITICAL, because it will interrupt the reproductive cycle, and after three treatments, you'll even notice that the bites are smaller and less itchy, because the bugs aren't maturing anymore. And then, one day, they're gone!
This can be done. Our landlord made one treatment, and the bites returned, and the landlord didn't. We got this kit, and I treated every two weeks for two months, and then twice more to clear up any unseen stragglers, and now we're completely bedbug free. Didn't throw our stuff out, didn't pay hundreds of dollars for every exterminator visit, and didn't lose our minds waiting for the landlord to act. You can do it too. Get the kit, get the Gentrol, go get em.
