I had a renter move out and it isn't good.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

They were in this property two years. Always paid rent 5 days late on schedule with the late payment. Like clock work. They said they'd spend the last two days cleaning and leave it just like they found it. Awesome.

"Oh , bye the way we noticed a couple roaches here and there over the last month, seems that the neighbors sprayed and caused roaches to invade."

I had the exterminator spray the day they moved out. The next day I went in to inspect and start painting and repairs and HOLY SHIT!!!!

The kitchen was covered with dead and crawling roaches. Millions! No way I'm going to work in that roach tornado until they're all dead.

There go's a months rent, 1K, plus.

Our farm rental people said there were mice in the garage.

Well, dumbass, don't leave the garage door open all the time. You live on a ****ing farm.

Mice are easy to get rid of . Snap traps with peanut butter.

Snap traps with a partially melted chocolate chip welded to the bait section.

Snakes and tarantulas will get rid of the mice and roaches in short order.

Could have been worse...

Bedbugs!!!

Had a coworker who had to deal with them as the spread through his condo complex. I don't want either but I'd go with cockroaches if someone put a gun to my head.

My house gets brown recluses and grass spiders. I got bit by a recluse like a week after we moved in. I went ham with sticky traps shortly after and now i rarely see them.

As for the grass spiders, i think a couple of chickens would take care of them but my wife keeps saying no to that idea.

Renters are the worst, that's why I got out of the game. Too much of a headache. If you ever do get a great renter, do everything you can to keep them.

TRUTH! Ive got all my properties rented out to excellent tenents. Its taken 15 + years, but Im finally there. In fact, most of my properties are rented below market value, to long termers. It seems to have built loyality and respect on their end. It was not worth the hassle of new tenents at top dollar every year or so and it coming back to haunt me.
