When we started shopping for a new home there were a few concerns of mine that needed to be addressed. My husband’s concerns were slightly different but they were also good concerns. My main thing was that the yard needed to be large enough for the kids and fenced in for the dogs. He agreed with me on this one but he was more worried about enough garage space and things like that.

All in all, he knew I needed to get my way or we would keep looking until we found the right home. The third home we looked at had the perfect yard and it was fenced in. But as we started to walk across the yard, the mosquitoes and pests were flying up from the grass and in our faces. It was horrible. I immediately told our agent that I want a pest control service to come out and treat the area.

Our agent put this in our offer to the homeowners and they accepted it. Within a few weeks, an organic pest control company had the yard all free of bugs and pests. My kids and pets were safe and they really enjoy the yard to this day. I am glad I was a stickler on what needed to be done.
