Picking a Starting Point
- Itchy mornings but no bugs seen? An inspection comes first; a dog search helps when the case is brand new.
- In an apartment complex? Ask for the neighboring units to be checked during the same visit.
- Older house with wood trim? Ask how the crew plans to reach gaps along baseboards and floors.
- Prefer no pesticide on the bed? Heat, or steam on mattresses and upholstery, may suit you.
- Bugs in every room or back after treatment? Ask whether tenting the structure is worth it.
