Choosing a Starting Point
- Bites but no bugs in sight? Begin with a visual inspection, or a dog search if the bites are new.
- Running an inn room or short stay? A K9 sweep plus a single heat day keeps downtime short.
- Living in a pre-1900 house? Ask how the crew will treat gaps in old trim, floors and plaster.
- Want no pesticide on the bed? Heat, or steam on mattresses and seating, may suit you.
- Bugs everywhere, or back after a past treatment? Ask us whether tenting is truly required.
