Homeowner is paying for a recurring pest control contract but feels bugs are never fully eradicated, only temporarily suppressed, leaving them worried about long-term structural damage.

Existing service model relies on periodic spraying that only pushes bugs into dormancy rather than eliminating the colony or sealing entry points, and there is no structural inspection or proof of eradication.
