[quote=Anonymous]Is your mom counting on equity from the home to be able to support her and your dad in their later years? If so could you point out to her that failing to fix the problem will actually cause them to lose money? She might not care about herself, but maybe she'll care about your dad? Also - giving her a contractor's number might not be enough for her. She might need someone to actually take over the chore. Next time you visit can you call someone and have them meet with you and your mom, just to "talk"? Explain to the exterminator that your mom is really resistant and probably scared she'll be yelled at for failing to keep the house up. You need someone nice and gentle, who says "OH sure, this is no problem..." and builds a relationship with her. [/quote]
