9/27/21: Several pest droppings in the guest bathroom and utility area as reported previously. Some chafing of roof tarp on the floor of the kitchen from the broken skylight as reported previously. Watered all the plants on the lanai wit the exception of the cacti. Need to point out the thermostat was set to 78 but reading 80. I’m not sure why as the humidity level is low, the air coming from the vents is cool and the condensation evac tube outside is wet and dripping. All of these indicate the system is working.9/27/21: The lawn is excessively high & needs to be mowed. The pool patio may need to be pressure washed soon see photo below. The rain gutters above the pool appear to be clogged causing the patio to get dirty see photo below. The garbage disposal was seized when I arrived. I was able to free it using a disposal hex key.

The pool water level is currently at approximately one inch from the bottom of the top skimmer port. Client advised that the pool company is drawing water from the bottom skimmer port & to not use the water timer unless the water level drops below the bottom of the top skimmer port.

9/27/21: I found a freshly dug hole at the exterior back right corner of your home, photo below. It appears to be an armadillo hole. I poured several once’s of cayenne pepper down the hole and placed a bunch off mulch in the entrance. The cayenne pepper is usually effective in keeping the armadillo away. The debris will tell me if it has returned over the next 2 weeks. I would usually fill the hole in next service call if I determine it is dormant however the bushes right there are like poison ivy for me so you may have to do it when you return. Several dead mini worms in the slider tray. I did not see any live ones. I’ll bring my shop vac to clean out next call.
