Where to Begin
- Bites but no bugs? Start with an inspection, or a dog search if nothing visible turns up.
- Helping a parent in a senior apartment? Ask the manager to schedule a licensed inspection first.
- Want no spray on the mattress? Ask about heat, with steam on upholstered chairs.
- Living in an Oakhurst condo? Ask whether units that share a wall should be checked.
- Bugs everywhere, or back after treatment? Ask whether tenting fits the building.
