Pests are particularly attracted to multi-unit buildings, such as high-rise condos or apartments, and the chances of infestation are concerningly high due to the almost limitless availability of food and shelter.

Pests such as rodents, cockroaches, ants, and bed bugs are more than a nuisance in multi-family properties as they can cause structural damage, pose a health threat to tenants, and give your property an unsanitary image, affecting your ability to rent or sell it.

Rodents not only chew through wiring and undermine building foundations, but they also transmit diseases like rat-bite fever, salmonellosis, leptospirosis, and E. coli. Worse, some rodents can spread Hantavirus, a rare respiratory disease with no proven cure that can be fatal in humans.

Ants, on the other hand, can cause structural damage and transmit disease by infected food, while cockroaches can cause allergic reactions. In just five to seven months, an untreated case of bed bugs can transform into a full-fledged infestation of 12,000 or more.

In multi-unit buildings, do-it-yourself solutions seldom succeed, and property managers typically lack the experience and training required to eliminate a pest infestation. Professional pest control services are needed to completely eliminate your pest problem and ensure that it does not return.
