First off, let me express gratitude for the many helpful answers from people oon this board. I am getting my apartment painted, and I have dirty, messy walls (messy from holes from screws, etc.), and dirty from years of accumulated stuff. The man I spoke to (a friend of the family that we're paying, who claims to know "everything") wants to do what I consider a slapdash job with Behr's paint + primer in one. However, the walls are messy and have many holes. My first question is: if he paints OVER the blotches and spackled holes, will one coat of this paint w/primer do the job? My SECOND question is this -- we have ants, lots of them, in the walls, etc., of the building (South Florida). They enter through any means possible, including holes that are drilled, etc. for pictures and so forth. Is there ANY WAY POSSIBLE that I can spray the wals BEFORE the paint job? Or is there a primer that will contain insecticide? Realizing that ants are virtually unstoppable in their quest for food, do you think that one coat of primer+paint would be sufficient? thanks in advance.
