[comment u/Certain-Entrance7839] $95/month. They come about every three weeks. You're massively overpaying.

“It’s a large local company. They basically come in once a month and spray. Treat drains if I ask them to. I handle fly lights. I honestly think that’s overpriced but I like having them to call in an emergency.”
