Montclair State University's Discreet Bed Bug Elimination Team

K9 or trained visual inspection distinguishes bed bugs from look-alikes with high accuracy — bites alone aren't reliable confirmation.

The right call depends on infestation size, budget, and whether same-day elimination matters most.

Treating one unit without checking adjoining ones often leads to reinfestation from next door.

Usually not — certified encasements combined with treatment can save a mattress rather than requiring replacement.

Discretion is standard practice, not a special add-on — plain vehicles are available at no extra cost. We're used to working with both tenants and property managers, since bed bug jobs often involve both parties.

We schedule a post-treatment verification visit, sometimes with K9 confirmation, before calling it done. We always suggest a quick check of hotel furniture, since prevention is easier than treatment.
