Which One Fits?
- Unsure it is bed bugs at all? Begin with an inspection, or a K9 search if the signs are faint.
- Townhome or condo with shared walls? Ask how the units next door will be checked.
- Just back from a business trip? Ask whether a targeted inspection of the bedroom and luggage area is enough to start.
- Want no pesticide in the kids' rooms? Ask about heat, or steam for mattresses and couches.
- Bugs in every room, or back after treatment? Ask if tent fumigation makes sense.
