I'm just wondering if any of you guys have had experiences using pest control services, such as Orkin, Terminix, etc., or maybe even some of the local, small-time exterminators one finds in the Yellow Pages. Have you guys gleamed any wisdom from dealing with these companies in the past? Is there any thing I should be looking for especially from a company? How feasible would it be to get the landlord to pay for this?

The situation is thus: my now ex-roommate knew brought in her friend and her friend's cat, who both were living in most squalid surroundings. They both were in the house for about three months, but I didn't see anything until closer to the end of the summer (the weather being unseasonably cool for this year). The ex-roommate is gone, as is this other person and her cat, but now we've pretty much confirmed that there are fleas all over the house. I've tried taking care of things on my own, but I've pretty much given up after a month of fogging the house, laying borax down, etc. Any advice would be welcome.
