Choosing a Starting Point
- Just bites, no bugs? Start with an inspection, or a K9 search if nothing shows.
- In an attached Rossmoor home? Loop in your mutual and ask about the units next door.
- Renting downtown? Tell the manager in writing before anyone treats.
- Want no pesticide on the bed? Ask about heat, plus steam for upholstered chairs.
- Bugs in most rooms or back after treatment? Ask if tenting is worth it.
