Recommendations
Recommended now
- Bed bug treatment of the master bedroom, since live bugs were found on the mattress and box spring
- Sealing the northeast soffit gap, since it is an open entry point with chewed edges
Also recommended
- Finish the attic inspection past the chimney chase, which was not reached on this visit
- Inspect the crawl space, which was not checked
- Inspect the living room couch, which was not checked
Customer instructions given
Ibrahim told Irina not to move bedding to other rooms.
Questions for the owner
- What are the prices for the bed bug treatment, the soffit sealing, and the follow-up inspections?
- When should the treatment and follow-up visits be scheduled?
- Does Pineworth Pest Control handle wildlife removal and exclusion work, and are any local licenses or rules involved that the customer should know about?
- Should the technician confirm the animal type on a return visit?
