Where to Start
- Itchy mornings but no bug in sight? Book an inspection or a K9 search first.
- Back from an evacuation or a trip? Have the bedrooms checked if bites begin.
- Renting a cottage to someone? Get it inspected between tenants.
- Prefer nothing sprayed on the bed? Ask about heat, plus steam for mattresses and couches.
- Bugs throughout the house, or back after a treatment? Ask whether tenting is warranted.
