[OPLINLIST] Outreach/Home Delivery Policy

[Beth Brown]

Good Morning,
Attached is our bedbug procedure and our House Calls policy.
We have never used a dog sniffing service for bedbugs.
All materials that come back from House Calls delivery go straight to the
bug oven.
Wishing you the best,

Beth Brown
Outreach Services Manager
220 N. 5th St
Zanesville, Oh. 43701
