Mom got in touch with an exterminator and he will be out Monday.
We suggested she get in touch with a local catholic church but are pretty sure she will not do it. This is the first time in her whole 79 year life she is alone. She married at 17 and never spent any time apart during her whole 60+ year marriage.
She will need to work thru some of these issues and has never ever really listened to her son. (who is a very nice person and always!! willing to help) I cannot understand why she does not listen to a son who is the first one in the whole family to graduate high school and then college and work as a corporate executive for his whole career. She does not realize or care that her "I dont want to burden you with my problems" is more of a burden to him than just helping her.
