Pest Control in Cincinnati/NKY

[Amie D.]

As posted in another thread, I had bad tenants that are being evicted. They stopped paying rent and, according to neighbors, moved out early. Among other things they left two mattresses strewn about the property and one of the tenants was telling the neighbors the house now has bedbugs. I am suspicious it may be true because - why would they move out early and leave mattresses. The PM's have said they cannot legally go into the property until the eviction process is complete, but I want to be prepared for when that is done. 

I've not had this issue but am thinking the right way to proceed would be to have a professional pet control company inspect the place before moving new tenants in. I also realize many people mistake bed bugs for other things like fleas etc.

-Can a pest control company come out and inspect and tell me what the issue actually is? My guess is yes, I am just hoping they would be honest about it. 

-Does anyone know of a reputable company in the NKY/Cincinnati area, and how much I can plan for an inspection fee to cost?  

-I have read other posts and see that actual bedbug removal, if that is what it is, is expensive. I'm am probably out of luck due to the eviction and the tenant's nonpayment of two month's rent already. I also had received calls from the utility companies they were not paying those bills either. Their deposit is also mostly eaten by other damages they already have had. Still, what methods can be used to try to get damages? I've read you can garnish their pay but this is a difficult process as well.
