Pest Control In Gotham City

(I have just bought an old piece of furniture and set it up in my house. It hits me an hour or so later that I didn’t check it for anything except dents/scratches, and as I rent, I’m very paranoid about pests. I decide to call a 24-hour pest control center to see if someone could come out and give it a look. I get the answering service as it is after hours. This call ensues:)

Operator: “Hello, which company were you looking for?”

Me: “Pest control.”

Operator: “Oh, another one! Please do NOT tell me you have bats.”

Me: “…”

(I wondered how many calls she got that night asking for bat removal that prompted THAT response! I had bats in my place before, but not that night, and I was happy to tell her that wasn’t my problem.)
