It happens all the time. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/bed-bugs-in-indianapolis#post-58964 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 13:27:08 +0000 BuggedBob 58964@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>Since the handler needs a commitment of at least three homeowners, at $300.00 each, to justify his bringing the dog from the Cleveland area to Indianapolis, we won't be taking any action until we find two other households with a similar problem and the funds to pay for pinpointing the bed bug whereabouts in each home. That's the beauty of using a trained dog--you don't have to overkill by spraying chemicals in each room or heat treating the whole house--until you know for sure where the bugs are specifically located. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/bed-bugs-in-indianapolis#post-58884 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 12:09:41 +0000 Indybugs 58884@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>Thanks for the reply...I doubt my landlord would be willing to spring for this as they were only willing to foot half of our $250 chemical PCO bill but I will mull on this. When are you planning to act? </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/bed-bugs-in-indianapolis#post-58834 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 19:38:35 +0000 BuggedBob 58834@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>If we have three homeowners, it would cost $300.00 per home because the dog and its handler are coming from the Cleveland, Ohio area. We've done lots of research on bed bug detection, and this trainer keeps coming up as The Best in the Midwest.</p> <p>We have tried to treat our own bedbug problem with no chemicals and isolated heat treatment (furniture in a sauna). We need the dog to confirm there are no bugs still lurking in the shawdows. </p> <p>If we were to opt for a full house treatment, it would be with Gold Seal Therma Pure Heat treatment. We spent two hours with the co-owner and were very impressed with his knowledge and professionalism.</p> <p>Do you think your landlord would invest $300.00 to confirm that your PCO did get rid of all the bugs? </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/bed-bugs-in-indianapolis#post-58757 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 23:10:15 +0000 Nobugsonme 58757@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p><a href="http://www.goldsealpest.com/bed-bugs-information.html">Gold Seal</a> is a company that offers Therma Pure Heat treatments in Indianapolis and around the midwest. <a href="http://bedbugger.com/2009/09/09/entire-kansas-city-high-rise-gets-thermal-treatment-for-bed-bugs/">They were mentioned in this story.</a> </p> <p>I do not know anything about the company and cannot personally recommend them except to say that they were in the press and the President's comments on this article seemed sound.</p> <p>If there are other thermal treatment providers in the area, I hope others will mention them also. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/bed-bugs-in-indianapolis#post-58752 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 22:36:49 +0000 pleasenotme 58752@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>Anyone know of a thermal treatment company around Indy? </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/bed-bugs-in-indianapolis#post-58737 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:49:08 +0000 Indybugs 58737@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>We live in Indy and are currently a few days past our first treatment....I am terrified. I doubt we can afford a dog, and also we are tenants, but for my information how much would it run? And if I can ask, which Indy PCO did you use and did you see results? Our landlord selected our first PCO and I am nervous as he is only coming out the once...I couldn't seem to find an expert in the area. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/bed-bugs-in-indianapolis#post-58706 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 10:24:55 +0000 BuggedBob 58706@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>Looking for homeowner in Indianapolis who is willing to share the cost of bringing bed bug detecting dog to Indianapolis or central Indiana to locate possible bed bug infestations. </p>
