Choosing a Starting Point
- Only bites so far? Book an inspection, or a K9 search if nothing is visible.
- Sharing a house with other students? Ask for every bedroom to be checked at once.
- Older or less mobile resident? Ask which method needs the least moving and bagging.
- Prefer no pesticide in the bedroom? Ask about heat, with steam on upholstered pieces.
- Bugs in most rooms, or back after treatment? Ask whether tent fumigation makes sense.
