*Update 2023: Due to initial roach problem being fully resolved, an increase in Farmer's treatment charges, and prior year personal issue with a drop in cash flow I wanted to lessen treatment frequency. Farmer's was helpful and agreed to a 6 month maintenance period when I inquired. It was considerably higher per…
