AFTER

THE PROBLEM

A tenant woke up with bites in a line on her arm three mornings running. The landlord wanted it fixed in one day, without throwing out the furniture.

WHAT WE DID

We confirmed bugs in the mattress seams and the headboard, heated both bedrooms and the living room to 135°F for six hours with the furniture in place, and fitted encasements on both beds.

RESULT

No live bugs at the 14-day inspection and none since. $1,650 for the heat treatment, with the encasements included at the landlord’s request.
