Multi-Family Buildings

Professional Pest Control For Your Multi-Unit Property

Multi-unit buildings like high rise apartments are especially attractive to pests, and due to the almost endless supply of food and shelter, the chances of infestation are extremely high.

In multi-family properties, pests like mice, rats, cockroaches, ants, and bed bugs are more than a nuisance – they can damage the building’s structure, pose a health hazard to your residents, and give your property an unsanitary reputation, harming your ability to rent or sell there.

Not only can rodents chew through wiring and undermine building foundations, they also spread rat-bite fever, salmonellosis, leptospirosis, and E. coli infection. Worse, some mice can transmit Hantavirus, a rare respiratory disease, which can be fatal in humans, with no known cure.

Meanwhile, ants can also cause structural damage when building their nests and spread disease in contaminated food, while cockroaches can provoke allergic reactions. And an untreated case of bed bugs can escalate to a full-on infestation of 13,000 in just six months.

Do-it-yourself remedies rarely work well in multi-unit complexes, and property managers do not usually have the expertise and training needed to eradicate a pest infestation. To truly end your pest problem, and make sure it doesn’t come back, you need professional pest control services.
