Where to Start
- Bites but no bugs found yet? Start with an inspection, or a scent dog if the problem looks very new.
- Renting a room near the college? Report in writing and ask the landlord which company will inspect.
- Own an older brick or wood building? Ask whether units or rooms that share walls should be checked as well.
- RV or travel trailer used for guests? Steam on its cushions and bunks usually belongs in the plan.
- Bugs in most rooms, or back after a past job? Ask whether tenting the house makes more sense.
