Pest Control

I only have one investment property at this time, but have been looking for another. I was shown a house recently by a realitor and noticed this place had bug glue boards out. I picked up a few and some had brown recluse spiders in them. I know what they are because my personal house has them as well. And I know the costs of having them treated. I paid over $500 the first treatment, and $250 per month after that. And they are still here. These guys are hard to get rid of. This property is a great deal price wise and is in the country. It does need some repairs and renovations, but I think it is worth the investment. All except for these pests. And really there is no way of knowing if they will ever be gotten rid of completely.

Clint, I own a Pest control company in Indianapolis. In a country home that is close to woods and water there are more Bug issues to deal with. I am interested in what someone did for $500 and $250 per month. That sounds too high unless they were charging for travel from Chicago. We would have sprayed the inside and outside perimeter and the crawl space. Since sticky traps were left, someone felt the need to monitor this home. 

Message me if you have questions.
