    House vs. Villa

    Is there any clear definition between a house and a villa? I have seen people selling 'villa' which to me is no better than a cramped townhouse with a small fish pond that was turned into a plunge pool. Is there any minimum area for a property to be qualified as a villa?

    Fogging

    I'm wanting to get my villa fogged but have two small children and do not like the idea of the chemical being sprayed around the house. Is there a company in Bali that spay with a natural product, or is there any where that sells natural sprays that I can put into a machine and spray myself?
