Pest control - before moving in to new house?

3 years ago

We are getting our interiors done now. It's a multi storey building with common pipes and drains. Many houses already have cockroaches.
Should we get pest control done before moving in or should we do if we get any issues?

i would definitely have someone investigate before you go to the trouble of moving in your furniture.

good luck.

A year ago, I moved into the apartment I now live in. I wanted to move in some boxes, and I saw at least 20 cockroaches while putting all of the stuff in place. They were all over in the bathroom, in the kitchen, and in the living room.

fragle0 ... congratulations on the new addition to your family. Have been following your lovely changes. You probably won't have time to work on the decor for a while. Just wanted to suggest that you try pulling the nesting tables forward to be more in line with front of the chairs & placing your floor lamp to the back of them. This will give a bit more light at night for reading in that area.Also switching the plant by the fireplace & the one on the corner by the sofa.

I guess it depends if you need to live in it straight away or if you have a bit of time beforehand. I think I would personally need to have bedrooms painted and carpeted and a bathroom useable. If your kitchen units are been ripped out could you do this before moving in? If it's as bad as you say I would be inclined to rip all carpets out and get it fresh-not ideal painting around new carpets but you could do that gradually-i could put up with dirty paint but not dirty carpet...just my thoughts. If it's just cosmetic I can't imagine it being too much of a disturbance.

not alot happening at the moment, its winter! alotta rain, lotta. but i am bedding down to get this over with and maybe in the spring the spirits will rise once more. i hope so. i would love to feel i was doing something to keep my hopes and dreams alive, i dont see what i can do until the spring. when i bring the topic up, especially to those that moved away and came down this neck of the woods, they say they had friends who felt it was too far too and moved back home. i guess thats how i feel, thats what i want and i just want to be a bit more uplifted, i think rain dampens down things a bit!!! santa Ma Margaret!

What colour to paint or varnish door saddles?
Q
Comments (0)
We just bought a bungalow and are doing some redecorating before we move in. It is an old house with a narrow hallway and small rooms so we want to keep it as light and airy feeling as possible. We are putting in new doors, architrave, skirting, etc. and painting these white. However all of the windows (which we aren't changing as they are quite new) are a dark wood - almost a walnut colour. My question is what colour should I varnish the door saddles? I would prefer to varnish rather than paint these, but don't want to go too dark. How many wood colours is ok in a house, e.g. should we varnish the saddles to an oak colour and stick with this for the furniture? Any advice appreciated!

I think you definitely should do it. When I was moving into my new apartment, I first called a pest control service to get rid of cockroaches and mice. And actually, it didn't take a lot of time, so soon I moved in. So, if I were you, I'd call the service before moving into a new apartment. Otherwise, you're going to have much more problems with pests unless you call a service. Then it will be harder for you and them to clean your house. So, I hope I've helped you. Waiting for your reply. BW
