My family and I have noticed several Bedbugs since January. At first, we thought they were all gone after I caught and killed a big one on a foyer wall near the kitchen/dining area and did some vacuuming of the carpets. In late February, my family members and I caught several bedbugs in the kitchen area nearest to the front door, foyer/dining area, living room couch, and the master bedroom.
One issue is my father is highly resistant to getting a PCO...insisting he can use a strong spray to deal with them like other insect pests. In fact, he got angry with me this morning when I advocated getting a pro to deal with this with mom trying to get us both to stop arguing.
What are some recommended PCOs that have great reputations for responsive service, results, and discretion?
We live in a co-op building and my mother is the owner and her main concerns is the fears of us getting tossed out for having this infestation. What do you all suggest as a way to assuage her fears?

You can read reviews if lots of NYC PCOs by clicking on the tag above which says "NYC PCOs".
Keep in mind , there may be legal reasons you need to notify the coop and/or neighbors (I'm not a lawyer nor an expert in coops). Try to assure your parents that this may have come from neighbors, and making sure no attached units are infested is in everyone's best interest. I'm also tagging this thread with "coops" since there may be other threads of interest.

You will need to notify your coop for a few reasons mainly legal reasons. With newly passed legislation the coop will need to inspect the surrounding units therefore, they will most like elect to contact their own extermination vendor and not someone that you hire privately.
If you fail to comply with the coop you may end up in some legal soup. Remember that the coop can decide who they use in manner that are considered an emergency; just the same as if a pipe burst in your apartment and they needed to get a plumber in immediately to fix it. Bed bug infestations can be classified as an emergency and keeping this a secret from the coop may end up costing you unnecessary money in the long run.
Hope this helps you out and best of luck.
