Where to Start
- Bites after guests left but no bugs seen? Start with an inspection, or a K9 search for a light case.
- Have a boat with a cabin or berth? Ask for it to be checked at the same visit as the house.
- Only out on weekends? Pick a plan that fits your schedule, such as a one-day heat treatment.
- Prefer no pesticide on mattresses? Heat, or steam on beds and cushions, may suit you.
- Bugs in most rooms or back after treatment? Ask if tent fumigation is worth it.
