Where to Start
- Bites, but no bugs seen? Start with an inspection, or a dog search in a large house.
- Guest cottage or pool house on the lot? Ask for every building to be checked on the same visit.
- Prefer no pesticide in bedrooms? Heat, with steam on upholstery, may suit you.
- Antiques or heat-sensitive collections? Ask about chemical or steam for those rooms.
- Bugs in most rooms, or back after treatment? Ask whether tent fumigation is worth it.
