Choosing a First Step
- Bites, but no bugs in sight? Start with an inspection, then bring in a scent dog if the first look finds nothing.
- Large home with many bedrooms? Ask for a room by room map before any whole-house price.
- Renting a room or a condo? Tell the owner in writing so the right rooms or units are checked.
- Want beds kept free of pesticide? Ask about heat, paired with steam on mattresses and couches.
- Bugs everywhere, or back after a past treatment? Ask whether tent fumigation makes more sense.
