Choosing a First Step
- Waking up with bites but finding no bugs? Start with a Biola inspection, or a dog search for a very new case.
- Two houses on one vineyard lot? Have both checked during the same visit.
- Providing rooms for harvest workers? Plan an inspection each time the occupants change.
- Prefer no pesticide where children sleep? Ask about heat, or steam for fabric.
- Bugs in every room, or back after treatment? Ask if tent fumigation makes more sense.
