Where to Begin
- Bites but no bugs in sight? Start with a visual check; if it comes up empty, add a K9 search.
- Just moved into a temporary rental? A K9 sweep can check every bed and couch you inherited.
- Bringing furniture out of storage? Have it inspected before it goes into the bedrooms.
- Prefer no spray on a child's mattress? Ask about heat with steam on upholstered pieces.
- Bugs in most rooms or back after earlier work? Ask whether tent fumigation is the better fit.
