Should I fumigate for roaches & mice?

Question for my flippers out there - do you guys hire an exterminator for your flips if you notice roaches and mice in the kitchen? I’m working on a flip now that’s in the demo phase and the kitchen is demoed to the studs. Previous owners were hoarders/not very clean but I haven’t seen any pest activity since the home had been emptied out a few weeks ago. I know roach eggs can be dormant for a while but i believe they were nested above the upper cabinets and below the lowers that were thrown away. Cabinets went up to the ceiling which gave them a place to hide and nest. Seen a ton of them as the cabinets were taken down a few weeks ago. With all the construction going on in the home plus no food source, I would assume they’ll die off or run away. Would it be necessary to fumigate?
