What do residents need to know? "I would suggest trying to keep your apartment as clean as possible and keep­ ing doors and windows shut if there are no screens," said Matt Phillips, area coordinator for the McDonald West apartments. Residents are sometimes unsure when to call for help regarding their pest problems. "Obviously, if you have one or two ants; that's not an emergency. But if you have a line of ants up the wall, that's a different story," said Phillips. Residence Life provides spray for bugs and "sticky" traps for those larger intruders. If residents feel they have a serious problem, they arc encouraged to send in a work order via the Residence Life web site A professional exterminator is on site once a week.
