    Hi everyone - has any ever thought about the possibility of being scammed by exterminators? Does anyone know of ways to tell for sure that they have sprayed?

    We have to spray or we would have a cockroach infestation. (We live in West TX). We use a reputable exterminator now (very well known) but part of me would like to choose a less expensive one to save some money. But then I wonder if they are really spraying in the first place!! I mean I live when they spray so I don't witness it, and it would be strange for me to just walk around and make sure they are spraying.

    Just curious!!!

    Why are you so uneasy about switching exterminators? It's pretty easy to tell whether the property has been sprayed and treated. You should have no trouble ensuring that the work is actually being performed. Plus, you'd notice more cockroaches than normal if spraying wasn't being completed. i don't think you'll experience any trouble switching exterminators, to be honest.
