Two suggestions: 1. you tell the boys in the house that if they don't pitch in physically and do some work, they are going to have to pitch in financially aa you are going to have to hire a Molly Maid once or twice to get the place cleaned up for the landlord's inspection.

2. You call the city and tell them you need help, they should be able to find you someone, either volunteer or pay.

I think getting relatives to help is like borrowing money between relatives, because time is money, no? Plus with all the hoarders shows on tv (not saying you are a hoarder, but I am pretty close) AND especially with the bedbug problem, they are almost guaranteed bringing the bedbug problem to their own home. Oh about the hoarders - it's frustrating to just see it get messed up again. When I was living with my mother, it seemed like she took my cleaning an area up as a signal to immediately mess it up again! Like the basement kitchenwhich was very cold and lonely to clean, but warm to cook in, right? It was horrible. Anyway, good luck to ya. There are so many services available in your area, you are lucky for that.
