Choosing a Starting Point
- Itchy mornings but no bug in sight? Book an inspection first, or a dog search if it comes up empty.
- Sharing a wall in a duplex or fourplex? Ask for the neighboring unit to be checked on the same trip.
- Caring for someone just home from the hospital? Ask which plan needs the least prep and lifting.
- Prefer nothing sprayed on the mattress? Heat, plus steam on upholstered pieces, is worth asking about.
- Bugs in nearly every room, or back after a treatment? Ask whether tenting the structure makes sense.
