-This is a wooded lot with a bustling ecosystem and there is a reasonable expectation of wildlife on the property. The inside of the home and the porches are sprayed for pests bi-weekly and are typically clear, however, the rest of the yard uses only natural repellents. This is to protect pollinators and keep our chickens (who feast on the bugs) and their eggs free of any toxins. We treasure and respect the natural life on the property and ask you do the same. If an additional spraying is needed inside the home please advise. No refunds or credits will be offered due to naturally occurring creatures.
