A 1980s house on La Porte Road, a weekend cabin near Woodleaf and a rental on a few acres of pine can each need a different bed bug plan. Knowing the options before a crew makes the long drive up from the valley helps you ask better questions.

Where to Start
- Bites but no bugs found yet? Begin with a visual check, or book a dog team when the bites are recent.
- Opening the cabin for summer? A K9 sweep can tell you quickly whether it is clear.
- Need it handled in one trip? Ask whether your house and its power supply suit heat.
- Want fewer chemicals near beds? Ask about heat combined with steam on fabric.
- Problem returned after past treatment? Ask whether tenting is justified for your house.
