Roach infestation destroyed oven
Just seeing what is the correct thing to do. The plumber let me know while fixing a leaky faucet the house is filled with roaches. The same day she let me know a 3 yr old oven has an error code. I sent whirlpool tech to look at the circuit board and was informed the oven was infested with roaches and destroyed the circuit board and probably other components. I sent a gel I've used in the past and informed her I need to take care of the infestation prior to buying a new oven so they don't destroy the brand new one. Is it in my right to wait a few days to see if the gel works like I anticipate, or I need to buy a new one immediately? She keeps saying she can't wait for the oven.
