The horror is compounded by evidence the bugs were already there before they moved in, and the tenant’s history of being scammed adds to their fury.

One pest control pro, who started his business after facing infestations himself, says landlords must cover costs—and professional inspections are crucial to proving how long the problem’s been lurking.
