Where to Start
- Waking up with bites but see no bugs? Start with an inspection, or a K9 search if the case seems new.
- Have a casita, barn apartment or caretaker unit? Ask for every sleeping space to be checked on the same visit.
- Big house, only one guest room affected? Ask whether treating that room and its neighbors is enough.
- Prefer no pesticide where you sleep? Heat, or steam on mattresses and upholstery, may suit you.
- Bugs in most rooms or back after an earlier job? Ask whether tent fumigation is worth it.
