Bathroom drains

Hello Brownstoners,

I am on a quest to reduce the operating costs on my brownstone.
I am ticking through a list one by one, and this reaffirms my belief that I have to do more maintenance myself, rather than make the call to a service. Which brings me to the latest “little” problem with a tenant apartment. The bathroom tub drain is drainnig very slowly. She poured some draino down there with little effect. Before I call my favorite plumber and spend 75-100 bucks for a visit, are there any suggestions you might have to clear the drain. It’s a relatively new renovation with new tub, drains, etc.

Also, to save money on an exterminator, I would like to apply some insecticide in my place and tenants. Any recommendations for an effective product / routine.

Thank you as always.
