Picking the Right Starting Point
- Itching but no bugs in sight? Begin with a visual inspection, then bring in our detection dog if that finds nothing.
- Renting a room or an apartment? Tell the owner or manager in writing first, since AB 551 puts the treatment on them.
- Living in CSUN housing? Report it to Student Housing, which handles pests in university units.
- Need the bedroom back by tonight? Ask about heat, often paired with steam on upholstered pieces.
- Bugs in most rooms of a detached house? Ask us whether tenting makes sense.
