I requested my whole trailer treated for roaches. Charles the technician would not. He treated 2 baths, kitchen and laundry room. And only 3 kitchen cabinets. We had recently been getting many yellow jackets invaded. He said he may address them in 2 weeks. Could not address the outside because of rain. What did pay $288.00 for. Very disappointed!
