Picking Where to Begin
- Bites but no bugs spotted? Start with an inspection, or a K9 search for a very early case.
- Running an inn or permitted rental? Ask about a K9 check and heat so rooms reopen sooner.
- Older house with wood trim and floors? Ask how the crew will reach those gaps.
- Want beds free of pesticide? Heat, or steam on mattresses and chairs, may suit you.
- Bugs in most rooms or back after a treatment? Ask whether tenting is worth it.
