Choosing a Starting Point
- Itchy mornings but no bug in sight? Start with an inspection, and bring in a dog if the search comes up empty.
- Renting near Fresno State or in a large complex? Notify the manager in writing and ask that neighboring units be checked.
- Bugs in the car or a storage unit? Ask about steam and heat for the vehicle and bagged items.
- Want nothing sprayed where the kids sleep? Ask about heat for the rooms and steam for upholstery.
- Signs in nearly every room of a house? Ask whether tent fumigation makes more sense than room by room work.
