Tips to Combat Pest Problems in Apartment Units



Unit Inspections 

When a unit is having pest problems it is important to inspect the surrounding units to ensure that they are cleared of any pest activity. It is important to discover the source of the infestation.  

 

Tenant Refused Service 

Do not let tenants refuse pest services. The problems will worsen with time and potentially create problems for the surrounding units. 

 

Preparation 

Ensure that tenants comply with preparation for services. Failure to do so will jeopardize your investment in the program. Be diligent in making sure that the unit is re-scheduled in a timely manner for treatment. Ensure that tenants receive preparation sheets in a timely manner so  they have the time to adequately prepare their unit for treatment.  

 

Tenants Self Treating 

If you identify a self treater make sure that this stops or you are jeopardizing your entire building by pests being dispersed to surrounding units by ineffective and repellent pesticides.

 

Yearly Building Inspections 

Having yearly building inspections allows you the opportunity to access all units to identify any hidden pest problems. This allows you to know what is going on in your building and allows you to be proactive to identify problem units before they get out of hand. 

 

Proactive Measures 

Treat units before a new move in. This will prevent new pest problems from moving in with your new tenant.
