A 1970s ranch house, a mobile home behind the main house and a rented farmhouse on Pleasant Grove Road may each call for a different plan. Knowing the methods ahead of time makes any quote easier to judge, and it helps you ask the right questions about prep, visits and price.

Choosing a Starting Point
- Bites, but no bugs found yet? Start with a visual check, or bring in a scent dog if the bites only began recently.
- More than one home on the property? Have every dwelling checked during a single trip.
- Prefer nothing sprayed where you sleep? Ask about heat, or steam for mattresses and upholstery.
- Mobile home or older wiring? Ask how the crew will power its heaters before you choose heat.
- Bugs everywhere, or back after a past job? Ask whether tenting is really needed and why.
