Picking a First Step
- Itchy mornings but no bugs seen? Book an inspection first, or a detection dog for an early case.
- Guest cottage or ADU on the parcel? Have every building where people sleep checked on the same visit.
- Brought home an antique chair or used couch? Ask about steam before it goes into a bedroom.
- Want no pesticide where you sleep? Heat, or steam on mattresses and cushions, may be the fit.
- Bugs in most rooms or back after treatment? Ask whether tenting the structure makes sense.
