Bugs, Pests, and Interior Design

On this week's episode, we explore a wide range of home improvement topics.

It all starts with a new designer Q&A segment with Andy Yates of Andy Yates Design, discussing inspiration sources for design, the role of travel, and leveraging social media and publications for fresh ideas. The conversation shifts to how designers charge, distinguishing between flat fee and hourly models, and the specifics of working with commissions. The segment on high gloss paint usage across different surfaces provides practical advice and considerations for homeowners.

The episode concludes with David Popp from Rose Pest Solutions, addressing seasonal concerns with ants, mosquitoes, ticks, and earwigs, offering expert advice on prevention, identification, and professional treatment solutions.
