Where to Begin
- Bites but no bugs in sight? Book an inspection first, then a dog search if the visual check comes up empty.
- Renting a unit that shares walls? Notify the landlord in writing and ask that the neighboring units be inspected too.
- Bought a used couch or moved into an older house? Ask about a steam pass on the furniture plus an inspection of the bedrooms.
- Babies, pets or someone sensitive to sprays at home? Ask about heat, with steam on the sofa and cushions.
- Activity in almost every room, or bugs back after an earlier job? Ask if tenting is the better fit.
