Where to Start
- Bites and no bugs in sight? Start with an inspection, or a dog search if there is more than one dwelling.
- Kids sharing rooms or bunks? Ask that every bed in the house be checked, top bunk included.
- Second home on the lot with limited power? Chemical work or steam may suit it better than heat.
- No pesticide wanted where anyone sleeps? Ask about heat, with steam on mattresses and upholstery.
- Bugs in nearly every room, or back after treatment? Ask whether tent fumigation fits the house.
