Which One Fits?
- Bites but no bugs found? Start with an inspection, or a K9 check for a very new problem.
- Grove property with a caretaker cottage or worker unit? Have every sleeping structure inspected, not just the main house.
- Rural De Luz property with more than one building? Ask whether a K9 team can cover them in one visit.
- Want no pesticide in the bedroom? Ask about heat, or steam on mattresses and couches.
- Bugs spread through most of the home, or back after an earlier job? Ask whether fumigation is the right step.
