Picking Where to Begin
- Bites but no bugs in sight? Book an inspection, or a dog search when the problem looks new.
- Guest suite, pool house or in-law unit? Have it looked at on the same day as the main house.
- House from the 1940s or 1950s? Ask how the crew will reach gaps in old trim and floors.
- Would rather keep pesticide off the bed? Heat, or steam on mattresses and couches, may suit you.
- Bugs in most rooms or back after an earlier job? Ask whether tent fumigation fits.
