The family with the rampant roach problem in Hermitage could soon be getting professional help.
We introduced you to Hala Seay and her family last week. In the emotional interview, the single mother of three described living in a cockroach-infested home. You can watch our previous reporting on the family’s home below.
Family dealing with gross cockroach infestation could be evicted
“… and from the outside, it looks like a pretty good home, but it’s not,” Hala Seay said while fighting back tears. “There’s a roach infestation, and it’s to the point where they’re on the walls, they get in the bed with us …”
Seay, who lived with the problem as long as she could, turned to NewsChannel 5 when living with cockroaches became unbearable.
Incredibly, Mean Green Pest Pros, an exterminator with offices in Smyrna, saw the story and it made them want to help.
“We like to help people as much as possible,” said Regena Gunter, the branch manager.
Gunter explained that their company would do a thorough inspection, then likely use a pesticide as well as a product that will prevent the cockroaches from reproducing. They would want to treat Seay’s family’s unit as well as the other side of the duplex. All of this, for free.
