Where to Start
- Itchy welts but no bugs seen? Start with an inspection, or a dog search if the case looks new.
- Guest cottage or second unit on the parcel? Ask for every sleeping space to be checked at one visit.
- Long rural driveway? Mention it, since heat trailers and tent crews need access.
- Prefer no pesticide in bedrooms? Heat, or steam for mattresses and couches, may suit you.
- Bugs in most rooms or back after an earlier job? Ask if tenting the house is worth it.
