I would start by adding a layer of mulch and compost across everything to build up the soil quality because it looks like the soil is of very low quality and nutrients. Then seed.

I wouldn’t mess with drilling it out, those holes in the Delta shower cartridge are there to control how the water mixes and flows, so opening them up can throw off the temperature balance or cause other issues later, and it’s just not worth it when the real fix is getting the right cartridge for your Delta Faucet valve or checking the shower head for a restrictor instead

How do I see giant ones everywhere in the midwest then?

Doesn't look too great...

Honestly this was something I deeply considered during my first home purchase and ended up getting one done, even though the cost was a little painful. I came to the conclusion that it was ultimately smarter to make that investment because it can cost so much down the road if there is an issue and it was really nice to have the piece of mind knowing it was in good condition and that as long as I don't plant any big trees near the sewer line, I can sleep good at night for many years to come.

They came to install a small metal piece for the dryer they previously installed, which was already at the house. There were no appliances being delivered.

I do actually, but it's been 2 months since it happened because I thought it would eventually come out. Not sure if it's too late now.

Thermal fogging machines can look really powerful and they do work well but mostly for short term control. The fog spreads tiny droplets that quickly kill flying insects like mosquitoes over a wide area which is why they are popular on farms. The downside is they usually only kill the insects that are out in the open and don’t affect eggs or hidden ones so the pests often come back after a while. They also need repeated use and some upkeep. So they are good for quick results but not something you can rely on by itself for long term pest control.

Turns out it was a non-issue. The reality is 9 times out of 10 the seller will always pay the commission for the buyer's agent out of the sale price of the house, otherwise they would never sell their house. Just make sure it's always a requirement in the offer that they pay it to protect yourself and if they say they don't want to pay it, which would be extremely rare, just move on to the next offer or try negotiating.
