Where to Start
- Bites but nothing visible? Book an inspection first, or a dog search if the cabin has been closed up.
- Weekend cabin you visit a few times a year? Have it checked before the busy summer season.
- Remote building with little power? Chemical work or steam may be easier to arrange than heat.
- Want beds free of pesticide? Ask about heat, plus steam on mattresses and sofas.
- Bugs in nearly every room, or back after treatment? Ask whether tenting suits the house.
