Where to Start
- Bites but no bugs seen? Book an inspection first, or a K9 search if the problem seems new.
- Living in a pre-1940 farmhouse? Ask for trim, floor gaps and wall seams to be included in the search.
- Main house plus a guest cottage or barn room? Have every sleeping space checked on one visit.
- Prefer no pesticide on the beds? Heat, or steam on mattresses and couches, may be the fit.
- Bugs in nearly every room, or back after treatment? Ask whether tenting makes more sense.
