The visit log
Day 1Activity 3 of 5
Inspection after a tenant noticed bites following a trip. Activity in the bed and the headboard of one room; the room next door checked and included to be safe.
Day 5Activity 1 of 5
Both rooms brought to a steady heat and held for six hours, sensors in every corner. Everything stayed in place.
Week 3All clear
Follow-up inspection of both rooms and the sofa: no sign of anything. All clear.
The tenant noticed small bites a few days after a trip and called the owner, who called us the same morning. We found activity in one bedroom and treated the room next to it as well, to be sure.
The tenant had a checklist and four days to get ready. On the day, both rooms were heated slowly and held at a steady heat for six hours with sensors in every corner. Two weeks later we inspected again and found nothing. Nothing was thrown away.
