Oh yeah, I use to work at a pest control company making their appointments.
Most apartment complexes just signed up for the year packages to keep the places free of stuff like ants cause that’s the big issue where I live. Roaches are rare but bed bugs are also common. Bed bug treatments are crazy expensive too, even for just a single unit of an apartment building, their prices were into the $1000’s.
And then for house calls where they got bed bugs, even more money. In fact, most people who had houses who called in for bed bug rates would back out half way through the treatment because they couldn’t afford to continue.
absolutely terrible to get caught with bed bugs. If you don’t already, get the plastic bed coverings to keep them out.
People attach a stigma to bugs without realizing - you don’t need to be dirty or live out in the woods, bugs are just out there and can and will get into your house. The only way to stop that is to be preventative.
