Which Service Fits Your Salinas Home
- Bites but no bugs found yet? Book an inspection, and add a dog search if nothing turns up by eye.
- Renting a room, unit or house? Notify the owner or manager in writing before anything else, since the owner usually arranges treatment.
- Many people sleeping in a few rooms? Ask us to inspect every sleeping area so no room is skipped.
- Want nothing sprayed on beds or a crib? Ask about heat, with steam for couches and floor mattresses.
- Bugs in almost every room of a detached house? Ask whether tenting makes sense.
