Where to Start
- Itching but nothing found? Book an inspection first, and add a dog search if it turns up empty.
- Live in a multi unit building? Ask that neighboring units be checked during the same visit.
- An older relative with little or no reaction? Have the inspector look closely at their bed and favorite chair.
- Prefer no product on the bed? Ask about heat, with steam for upholstered furniture.
- Bugs in nearly every room or back after a past treatment? Ask if tenting the structure makes sense.
