I am asking this because, where I live, this is not an issue and I am not quite sure how to deal with this properly and how are the regulations in Detroit for this specific issue in terms of who should pay for this.Also, if anyone could recommend a pest control service in the area for this and/or how much they normally cost, it would be much appreciated.Thanks to all!
