Where to Start
- Guest reported bites? Block the room and book an inspection or a K9 search before the next arrival.
- Weekend cabin you visit now and then? Have it checked before the family comes back up the hill.
- Historic building with wood floors and paneling? Ask how the crew will reach trim, casings and floor gaps.
- No pesticide on the beds? Heat, or steam on mattresses and quilts, may be the answer.
- Bugs in every room or back after treatment? Ask whether tent fumigation is worth it.
