Weird topic, I know, but it's true. If you haven't had a bedbug inspection by canine recently (or ever), now is the time to do it. Even if you were to have hits, treatment (and any contract discussions or purchase of heat treatment equipment, if needed) could take place more leisurely and intentionally than if you needed to arrange it immediately and around your open hours. We've been incredibly pleased with the work we've seen from our company on this, and they are available to travel throughout the state and into northern Indiana with their dogs. If you're interested in their contact information, please email me directly. They are contracted through Orkin and Griffin pest control companies, but if you have a contract with someone else, or no pest contract at all, they can also do work independently. My bedbug procedures and quarantine and treatment equipment lists are available to anyone who might want them. We funded our equipment purchase through a grant from our library co-op. There's also an amazing sense of relief and empowerment that comes from knowing you've been inspected and knowing how to address it for the safety of your staff and patrons. Best wishes to you all.
