Step 1: Clear literatureThe pest-controller just left. Two Saturdays before, the sales guy came & spoke to Kris & got us an appointment for a free inspection & spray. Kris was fed-up with the other company that he'd been using for about 3 yrs & was willing to try another company. And seeing this company provided good literature & brought us through the entire process, he was already quite impressed. To be 100% sure of this company would involve me in the 2nd step of the 3-step trust process.
Step 2: Job Well Done
So, today I greeted Gordon at ten minutes prior to his appointment. He came 30 minutes early, but I was in the shower. He patiently waited at our driveway, thinking that I may have brought the kids out to school or done some groceries. Alas, when I came out & greeted him, we had a good chat... and he told me of the whole process. And then, he started... He even told me not to be alarmed for the next couple of days cos I'll be seeing insects either dead or squirming out of the ground!! And they're squirming out to die. The chemicals wiped out ants, spiders & crickets right away!!
Step 3: Goodbye Insects
The final step - and the insects should be packing up. At least for the next couple of months, it'll be a nice place to live in with no roaches from the neighbours' plots! Gordon reaffirmed that the roaches that visited us from time to time comes from the other side of the fence cos all the 5 neighbours sharing the fences with us have dogs & roaches live wherever there are dogs... cos they've got crumbs & food served in the open & bones buried everywhere!! To think that your pet dog has to share with the roaches... YUCK!!
