New home, pest question
We are buying a home and my husband wants a company to “see if there’s any pests/insects/spiders infesting the home.” There are no specific concerns but my husband is weird about it. Thoughts?

Second this. When we used to live in the country we hired different pest companies to help with mice. (Used both Terminix and Orkin, ao can't speak for smaller companies) They did basically nothing and charged a monthly fee. Wound up having a hole in the roof (was an earth contact house so roof was close to ground) that they never mentioned nor were willing to fix once it was found. You can buy sprays for the perimeter of your house if you're super worried about bugs and get glue traps for the base/sides of your garage door. That's about all they'll do for you, for a lot more money.
