Just put a bid in on a termite infested foreclosure.

It smelled terrible, and was infested with spiders and cockroaches.

Isn’t that where Netflix’s crime infested Narcos Season 3 took place?

It had just one insurmountable problem - a type of infestation that is very hard to deal with.

Our local mentor advised that if we have to go to court, as long as they can't produce a current lease, we should be able to get them out in a worst case scenario...Anyway, thanks for the advice about the infestations.  

I recommend that you look at the risks involved to avoid losing money, find ways to apply risk mitigation techniques, and do a bit more research (BP is a great resource) before jumping into the "shark infested waters".Tony

When you dispose of the carpet and pad, make sure to do so in a way that prevents harboring pests from infesting another area.Remove electrical fixtures/appliances and clean/dispose of carefully, as pests may be harboring there.Give the entire unit a good initial cleaning.

Continuously inspect your home for further infestations and thoroughly seal the home away and remove any sources of food.

I saw a house condemned and torn down due to severe hoarding and an infestation of cockroaches and other pests.

Many apartment owners balk at this because of the cost and inadvertently spread the infestation.
