** Taken [[UpToEleven to the extreme]] with a tick infestation in one episode. Not only did the highly toxic and industrial grade insecticide used to kill the ticks end up '''destroying''' the family's photos, but it also ended up utterly damaging all their electronics to the point where they were useless.

** As stated above, the show goes out of its way to make it seem like infestations in general are unstoppable. In reality, severe infestations are rare and often can be treated pretty quickly and efficiently.
** Bats in particular are subject to this. The show goes out of its way to remind people that bats carry diseases such as rabies. While rabid bats are dangerous, you're more likely to be bitten by a rabid dog or raccoon than you are by a bat (this is because bats are nocturnal and encounters with them are rare).

Added DiffLines:

** One landlord tried to get rid of a bee infestation personally to save money, rather than calling an expert to handle the problem. His method? Spraying pesticide into the hive... which only succeeded in forcing the bees to evacuate their hive, so the air was filled with bees. This overlaps with LethallyStupid, since one of his renters had a severe allergy to bee stings.
