Where to Start
- Bites but no bugs found? Start with an inspection, or a K9 search when more than one building is used for sleeping.
- Living in a mobile home? Say so up front and ask which methods the company uses on manufactured housing.
- Worried about the drive? Ask how travel is billed and whether inspection and treatment can be booked close together.
- No pesticide on the beds? Heat, backed by steam on mattresses and couches, may suit you.
- Bugs in nearly every room? Ask whether tent fumigation makes sense for a framed house.
