Picking a Starting Point
- Bites but no bugs found? Book an inspection first, or a K9 sweep when the bites only started recently.
- More than one house on the parcel? Have every building where people sleep checked the same day.
- Run a hotel or rental near Highway 99? Ask about checking the rooms next to the problem room too.
- No pesticide on the beds? Heat, or steam for mattresses and couches, may suit you.
- Bugs in most rooms, or back after a past job? Ask if tent fumigation is worth it.
