When we first moved into this house we were getting a lot of “welcome new neighbor” junk mail. We also got a “moving kit” from the Post Office. It was nice get things like that to help us settle into our new place, but I still think that the old fashioned “Welcome Wagon” visits of days gone by would have been really a lot nicer. One of the things that I wanted to do right away was get a pest control service to come out and spray the house. Even though the house had not been lived in for a couple of years, I wanted to evict any and all little insects that might have settled in. There were a couple of local pest control services that sent us post cards inviting us to call them for an appointment to come out and treat our house, but even though we called them five or six times they never answered their phones, and never returned our voice mail messages.

So in frustration I asked Marcia (our new next door neighbor) for her recommendation on who to call. She emailed me the URL www.pestcontrol.us and told me that if I wanted the Terminix company that maybe I should try filling out their contact form. I figured, why not, I’ve got nothing to lose. Maybe the message will go to a central location and then get distributed and followed up that way. I can’t wait to get someone out here – we seem to have some stinkbugs and some wolf spiders that like it here, and I want them gone!
