Which One Fits Your Situation
- Bites but no bugs in sight? Start with a visual inspection, or a dog search if the problem seems brand new.
- Renting since the fire? Tell the owner in writing first, then let the inspection guide the method.
- Prefer no pesticide on the mattress? Ask about heat, with steam for the bed and upholstered pieces.
- Living in a trailer while you rebuild? Have the trailer and any main house quoted together.
- Bugs in every room, or back after an earlier job? Get a written reason from us before agreeing to tent the house.
