As students prepare for the new school year, it’s crucial to consider pest control. The Broken Arrow Exterminator is here to help. One area often overlooked is dorm storage ottomans, which can harbor unwanted pests like bed bugs.

- Rusty or dark spots from blood and excrement
- Small, white eggs or shed skins
- Unpleasant musty odors
Using the Broken Arrow Exterminator service can help identify these issues before they become significant problems.
