| Solutions at a glance |
If bed bugs are suspected, a licensed pest control professional should be consulted. (First Rate Solutions Inc.) First Rate inspects all possible hiding places within infested and adjoining rooms. In addition, adjoining apartments in buildings should be inspected. Once it has been confirmed that bed bugs are present, a customized treatment plan (see tools/techniques of the trade below), based on your individual needs, is formulated. As bed bugs are cryptic in their habits, complete control is often difficult to achieve with one treatment. This is especially so with heavy infestations and requires your assistance in order for the treatment to be successful. It is a team effort that will require excellent team work between you and the pest control professional if the treatment plan is to be successful.

Canine Bed Bug Scent Detection
We are currently proud owners of two N.E.S.D.C.A. certified bed bug scent detection Beagles (Apollo and Rocky). Both trained at J&K Canine Academy.
Steamer
We use state of the art stainless steel steamers that produce dry steam up to 275 degrees to kill bed bugs and their eggs. A standard steamer is not effective due to their high moisture content.
Vacuum
We extract bed bugs, their eggs, and other pest from cracks and crevices in walls and/or furniture with a commercial grade four level filtration system vacuum.
Hot Box
We have assembled a portable chamber large enough to fit household items such as a bed, dresser, nightstand and various other items. We call this chamber the “hot box”. A heater inside of the “hot box” raises the temperature above 120 degrees Fahrenheit; high enough to kill bed bugs and destroy their eggs, without damaging the items within. Determination of suitability for this treatment option will be determined at time of inspection.
Chemical Application
To ensure precise application of products used, we use the latest equipment designed to reach the areas that bed bugs and other pests hide. We also use a battery powered duster to apply Diatomaceous Earth into wall voids. For more information on control call
1-718-863-1100 or 1-845-534-4010 (or click here).
Heat
We can heat rooms to kill bed bugs and their eggs with heaters specifically designed for the pest control industry. Determination of suitability for this treatment option will be determined at time of inspection.
Fumigation
Because we like to offer our clients every option available, First Rate Solutions Inc. has teamed up and developed a program with the fumigation specialist at Bed Bugs and Beyond. At the time of the inspection, the need for fumigation will be determined. For more information please call us.
Cryonite System
By way of Carbon Dioxide Advanced Cryonite® technology is a method that freezes bed bugs and other pests dead on contact, without the use of any pesticides or harsh chemicals. In our opinion, “Cryonite” is not stand alone method for treating bed bugs. It
should only be considered after all other options have been explored. Feel free to contact us with any questions.
