A pest-control technician called the Roach Whisperer visits a resident dealing with small roaches and ants in the kitchen and bathroom. He explains that roaches won't leave without professional treatment and that landlords almost never cover the cost. They schedule a service appointment for the 17th.
Hey, how y'all doing today?
Good, good. Uh, you the boss man here, or is it somebody else? We do take care of your neighbors across the street. I'll show you right here on my map. You've been seeing the ants and the roaches?
Oh yeah, roaches for sure.
Yes, big or little?
Little ones.
Okay, and I'm gonna guess— I've been doing this for 6 years— they're mainly in the kitchen and bathrooms. I'm the Roach Whisperer.
Okay, I mean, they've been around, the big ones, but this little pest ones just came out recently. There's been a wave.
The reason why I ask is because Once the roaches, once they get in, they're pretty much there to stay unless you get it taken care of professionally.
Yeah, that's the thing. I've been trying to contact our landlord.
I have never met a landlord that will cover the pest control.
We need to go collect rent from the roaches.
Yeah, well, I was gonna say, let's start, let's start charging the, let's start charging the roaches rent. Okay, so the way we do that, we just got to get rid of them. What's a good phone number for you?
Um, 808.
Yes, ma'am. And then what's a good email for you? Because I'll send everything over to you via email. @gmail.com, 123. You're awesome. Let me know if you have any questions, but you'll see us on the 17th. Okay, God bless.
