Where to Start
- Bites but nothing visible? Book an inspection, or a K9 search for a very early case.
- Rent out a river cabin? A dog team can clear the whole unit fast between stays.
- Living in an older cabin? Ask how the crew will reach gaps in board walls and built-in bunks.
- No pesticide where you sleep? Ask about heat, or steam on mattresses and futons.
- Bugs in every room or back after treatment? Ask whether tenting fits your building.
