We do our best to keep pests out and have pest control in place but, it is their environment that we are sharing. If you spot a pest, we have a hand-vac at the ready in the laundry room to vacuum them up very quickly. - Cell service can be spotty for some carriers. With the wifi you can receive and send texts on your phone through the internet, use FaceTime and other WiFi calling platforms as usual, but you may experience difficulty making and receiving calls using only cell service. Regarding the Wifi, we have the highest bandwidth service available through our provider but it can be limited due to our remote location. We have also installed the latest router system available. When we have a full house of 10-12 people, it is helpful to log out of devices when they are not in use. When multiple folks are using Wifi on their phones, lap-tops, and iPads, it can slow it down.
