A: Hi, did you call for an exterminator?
B: Yes! Thank goodness youre here.These bugs are driving us crazy!
A: What sort of pest are we dealing with?
B: We just bought this house and it is infected with just about everything. We have termites in the wood, cockroaches all over the place, and last night I saw a huge rat out in the backyard!
A: Well, theres nothing we cant handle. Ill spray the floorboards and walls to get rid of the cockroaches, but the termites will be harder to get rid of. We will have to cover the entire house and fumigate it. Unfortunately that means you will have to find a place to stay for the next three days.
B: No problem, just get rid of the bugs!

A: 嘿，你给专业杀虫的人打电话了？
B: 是的，谢天谢地，你终于来了。这类虫子都把大家逼疯了。
A: 大家要应对那种害虫？
B: 大家刚买了这所房屋，屋子里几乎什么害虫都有，木头中有白蚁，到处都是蟑螂，昨晚，我看见一只大老鼠在后院里跑。
A: 没什么大家不可以处置的。大家会在地板和墙上喷洒药剂来去除蟑螂，但白蚁比较难清除。大家需要先将整个屋子盖住，然后用烟熏。不幸的是这意味着将来3天你得另寻住处。
B: 没问题，把害虫清除吧。
