Where to Start
- Bites but no bugs found yet? Begin with an inspection, or a K9 search if the case seems light.
- More than one building where people sleep? Ask for all of them to be checked on the same visit.
- Animals to feed twice a day? A one-day heat job or room-by-room chemical work keeps you close to home.
- Want no pesticide on the beds? Heat, or steam on mattresses and cushions, may fit.
- Bugs throughout the house or back after treatment? Ask whether tent fumigation makes sense.
