10 Spots I Checked First On Every Exterminator Call (Check Yours)

10 Spots I Checked First On Every Exterminator Call (Check Yours) Picture a house with no visible bugs. No bites on anybody, no droppings on the counter, no wings on the windowsill. The homeowner tells you on the phone that they don't really have a pest problem, they just want a general inspection, maybe a precautionary spray. In the first two years I ran my own company, I walked into three houses exactly like that. The first one had a subterranean termite gallery behind the living room baseboard that had been working for at least four years. The second had a German cockroach harborage inside the refrigerator motor housing big enough that the compressor was running hot. The third had a mouse run worn slick in the insulation above the kitchen ceiling. Those houses weren't clean. They were just good at hiding what was living in them. These are the ten spots I walked to first on every single service call. Most homeowners never check a single one of them.
