Picking a First Step
- Itchy bites but no bugs spotted? An inspection comes first, or a dog search when the case looks brand new.
- Living in a 55+ community? Ask for help with prep and for timing that fits HOA access rules.
- Big two-story house? A detection dog can cover many rooms quickly.
- Want beds kept pesticide free? Heat, or steam on mattresses and chairs, could suit you.
- Bugs in most rooms or back after a treatment? Ask if tent fumigation is worth it.
