Abstract
One of the most crucial steps to becoming independent for young people is leaving their parents’ homes to study or get a decent job. Based on the current population reports, 4,208,601 young people from 20–24 leave their parents’ house to live independently. When Young adults start their higher education or employment by living independently, they face many challenges with housekeeping specialty pest control. In this study, researchers tried to help young adults who move to a new place to start their higher education or employment to share their pest control experiences, access updated local information, and communicate better by designing a communication-based platform application. Community-based applications consist of one or many forums in which each member could be involved in the community.
