Where to Start
- Bites but no bugs spotted? Book a visual inspection first, or a detection dog if the bites only just began.
- Living in a senior or apartment building? Ask for the units beside yours to be checked too.
- Older Old Town house with wood floors? Ask how the crew plans to treat floorboards and trim.
- Prefer no pesticide on the beds? Heat, or steam on mattresses and recliners, may suit you.
- Bugs in every room or back after treatment? Ask whether tenting is worth considering.
