PEST CONTROL
I recently looked at a home that I'm doing numbers on. The only problem is, how do I estimate pest control into my repair costs unless I get an inspection done? Is there any other way to estimate it now or should I go ahead and get a pest-control service out there for an estimate so I can have real numbers. I've just noticed some dead cockroaches lying around in some of the areas in the house. What is your experience with factoring this in your numbers? thanks

Lena, I do agree with you about cockroaches being good survivors. But we are not talking about getting rid of them from the planet. We just want to get rid of them from a home.
