Where San Pedro Households Usually Start
- Bites after a cruise or a Catalina trip, but no bugs in sight? Start with an eye inspection, and keep a dog search as the backup if we see no evidence.
- Renting near downtown or the harbor? Write to your landlord, who normally arranges and pays for treatment under AB 551.
- Own a duplex or small building? Have the reported unit and the units beside it checked on the same visit.
- Someone at home with asthma, or a new baby? Ask us about heat, with steam for the bed and crib area.
- Bugs in most rooms of a detached hillside house? Ask whether tent fumigation suits the house.
