You must navigate this delicate situation before the infestation becomes irreversible.
How It Starts
“Listen, I understand you're concerned about your neighbor's... collecting habits, but unless you have actual proof of an infestation, there's really nothing I can do. Have you tried using peppermint oil? I hear that keeps mice away.”
This is how Ms. Sterling (Property Manager)'s greeting will start.
