My pseudo-ethical dilemma...

avonbride · November 2009

Ok so nothing major, but I don't know what to call it.

We are moving on the 23rd of December (we rent). We get the exterior of our home sprayed monthly for pest control. They come on the 17th.

So...do I have them come for December? Or do we save the $$ and hope the bugs don't pile up on the new people?

I realize it's a nice thing to do, similar to cleaning the house before you go. But....it's Christmas and we could use the extra $$.

Oh, we're not required to have it done by our landlords or anything. We just live in a buggy area.

Hmmm, I would think they should arrange their own pest control. I mean, you're right, it's a *nice* thing to do, but if you can use the money, you can use the money....

Honestly, I would just pick up a think of spray from Home Depot and spray the outside of the house myself. That way, you feel like you did the right thing, but you still saved a lot of $$. We do that where we live (right next to a bunch of woods and a pond) and we have NO issues with bugs inside our house. There are always a bunch of dead bugs right outside our door and our windows though lol.

I think we got a thing of spray from HD for $10.
