A homeowner needs an affordable, effective pest control chemical to eliminate cockroaches, lizards, geckos, and ants from a newly rented house without the high cost of frequent professional pest control services.

Professional pest control is too expensive for frequent use, and the user cannot identify or purchase the specific commercial-grade chemical (red/yellow liquid) used by professionals.
