Choosing a Starting Point
- Bites but no bugs found yet? Begin with an inspection, and add a dog search if it finds nothing.
- Living in a rear unit or a converted garage? Ask that the front house be inspected on the same day.
- Several people sleeping in one room or on couches? Make sure the plan names every sleeping spot.
- Want nothing applied to the mattress? Ask about heat, with steam for sofas and cushions.
- Bugs in almost every room, or back after treatment? Ask whether tenting the building makes sense.
