There used to be a smoker there because when I sprayed the windows, yellow liquid ran down. 

If the water doesn't spray everywhere when you turn on the meter then it is probably the roof.  

We started spray painting all our trim, doors closets, and ceilings.

So just know if everything checks out and your faucets won't spray with water in them, then that's the problem after you blow the lines out.

These people come in over 1-2 days and just spray everything with cheap paint but it will still come out looking good overall.So how do you all set up basic systems for paying handymen?

The treatment requires spraying the apartment with an insecticide that requires the residence to be vacated for upto eight hours.

Because neighbors have them, I knew the odds were the tenants didn't bring them, so I immediately paid $1,000.00 for a full heat treatment.Four months later, very few are left, but I am still paying $40/month for ongoing service (a technician comes out once a month to spray).

I do not allow cats anymore though because I find that cat owners are very hands off and the cat was spraying in the corners of closets that would make the whole house smell.

They may check that the dishwasher actually sprays some water, but that doesn't mean it will actually clean anything.

These are all relatively inexpensive or in some cases free:-New pulls on kitchen cabinets/drawers-Pressure wash driveway and any decks (or really anything that could use it)-New mailbox-Fresh mulch/plants-Spray and/or plug-in air fresheners throughout the house for a fresh smell-If property is not vacant, keep free of clutter - put EVERYTHING away and make the rooms feel big-Replace light bulbs in darker rooms with higher wattage bulbs to brighten them-Fresh paint on trim and window/door casings-Update door knobs and hinges if outdated-Clean all windows inside and out
