Where to Start
- Bites but no bugs found? Start with an inspection, or a K9 search if the problem seems new.
- In a townhome or condo row? Ask whether the homes on each side can be checked too.
- Renting on Bayfront Boulevard or elsewhere? Report in writing and ask for the inspection findings.
- Prefer no pesticide on the beds? Heat, or steam for mattresses and couches, may suit you.
- Bugs in most rooms or back after treatment? Ask if tent fumigation is worth considering.
