Pest and Wildlife ManagementInfestation & Removal3MediumResident$ implied
Resident in a newly moved-into apartment discovers roaches and then finds tiny bugs under tape on unpacked boxes, unsure if they are roach babies or pantry beetles, and needs to identify the pest to decide how to handle the situation and protect belongings.
Lack of accessible, immediate pest identification and guidance for tenants; relying on landlord's dismissive 'water bugs' label and internet forums is insufficient and anxiety-inducing.
