Where to Start
- Itchy mornings but no bug in sight? A visual inspection is the usual first step, and a scent dog helps when bites are recent.
- Opening a seasonal cabin or rental? A K9 sweep before guests arrive can catch a quiet problem.
- Scheduling between November and April? Ask how snow on Hwy 70 or the passes might move the date.
- Want beds left free of pesticide? Heat, or steam on mattresses and upholstery, may suit you.
- Bugs in most rooms, or back after earlier work? Ask us whether tenting is truly necessary.
