Keeping My House Cleaner

After experiencing a wretched spider infestation, my pest control professional told me something that I would never forget. In the nicest possible way, she told me that my house was too messy to keep bugs out in the first place.

On my blog, you will learn more about pest control and the importance of house cleaning, so that you don't make the same mistake I did.
