Where to Start
- Bitten, but no bug in sight? Begin with a standard inspection, or a scent dog for a very new case.
- Several people or a crew sharing the house? Ask that every bed on the property be checked in one trip.
- Older farmhouse with original wiring? Ask how the company handles power before choosing heat.
- Prefer no pesticide on the beds? Heat, or steam on mattresses and couches, may fit.
- Bugs everywhere, or back after an earlier treatment? Ask whether tenting suits the building.
