An unfortunate side affect of living in a brand new home is the revolt of the creatures that inhabited the land prior to us: mice. That’s right, what started with what we thought was a mouse has quickly become mice. I had the unfortunate event of discovering the first mouse while trying to take a shower one morning. Not a pretty sight.

As I thought about our creature infestation in our home and as I was in the drive-thru for lunch this afternoon I realized that sometimes we are willing to pay for the accountability of a service offering more than we are the service itself.

We have quite a few family members who work or worked in the pest control industry and have plenty expertise and knowledge to deal with these creatures with very little cost to us. Despite this, we are considering paying an exterminator to help us with the infestation.

What are we getting out of this service that our family members couldn’t provide to us for nearly no cost? Accountability. See we have a hard time sleeping at night with the thought of the creatures lurking around our floors or possibly under our bed. We want to be assured that our little friends will be gone after the service is provided.
