Are ants in the kitchen a big deal?
Usually not dangerous, but they can be persistent. Clean up crumbs and seal entry points. If you keep seeing trails after cleaning, follow them back to the entry point and point it out to the tech.
Are there signs of termites I can look for?
Mud tubes on foundation walls, hollow-sounding wood and discarded wings near windows are common clues. A pro can confirm what they are.
