equipment Road and droppings and
roaches the food Patrol checks in with
owner Tony Rodriguez about the insect

that we had the problem remember the
report States roaches Tony says not here
he gets monthly Pest Control welcome to
go back there and look it up and you'll
see how clean it is during our visit to
the back
Tony sounds convincing you can see
everything is in order that is until
irrefutable evidence crawls on out so

concerns us yeah that's one and you know
where there's one
