What property manager need to know?

When property managers consider hiring a pest control professional, there are several critical aspects to keep in mind to ensure effective and compliant pest management this includes Air B&B host, Here’s an overview:

Vacant properties

  Vacant properties can be great for some pests and bad for others. When it comes to pests bed bugs only come out when a food source is available, this means a host like a human. The only food source for bed bugs is humans so if a guess or tenet aren’t in the property bed bugs will stay dormant and not come out searching for food. At Tulsa Bed Bug Specialist, we use specialized traps for situations like this, but most companies may not.

  As for roaches, an empty property will allow for much quicker kills, for  German roaches. cockroaches, in general, do scavage in search of food and water,  if the property is vacant and cleaned, this is more of a chance for roaches to get caught in traps, and make it easier to find and ingest  Bait Or catch a lethal dose of a liquid product, while in searching for food from cabinet to cabinets.

Time frame 

  When it comes to renting out properties, some property managers want immediate results. Meaning they want all roaches and bed bugs gone the next day, this is Impossible. There are too many factors to consider in these situations. Like the level of infestation, this usually plays the biggest factor in why pests may not be gone by the time you’re next tenant. also how well are your tenants cleaning up after themselves or following the Exterminator’s recommendation do they clean on a Regular basis or did they not prep correctly before the bed bug treatment? In our experience, it can take about 30 to 45 days to see the complete eradication of roaches. 21 to 30 days to see the extermination of bed bugs and 3 to 14 days to see the elimination of general pests like spiders and ants.

Communication  

  A big weight off property managers is fewer complaints. most of the time the Exterminator may be good at explaining the system and process to the client, but the client may have a communication gap when it comes to dealing with tenants. This can create challenging conversations between you and your renter, but with clear expectations communicated as well as prep instructions before treatment, and advice on maintaining or preventing further infestations, this will create a good experience between landlords and their tenants .visit tulsabedbugspecialist.com/blog for advice.

Tenant cooperation 

  Another complaint and big Factor in positive results is following the pest control professional, preparation instructions, and Aftercare instructions. when a tenant has been complaining about Roaches for weeks or months and the landlord finally has set up an appointment but the tenant has forgotten to prep for the treatment or not followed the  Aftercare instructions or preventative instructions but is still complaining about the problem. we are sure 100% of the time, we can get rid of your pest when accepting the job, but a disclaimer is always made if you don’t do your part we can’t do ours.o this may be the landlord’s job to put a little fear in their tenants, something like( hey if you don’t do what the Exterminator tells you to do you’re going to keep roaches and I’m not going to pay for this again and you’re not going to be able to get out of your lease)

Safety measures 

  Safety is usually not a large factor when it comes to treating vacant properties, as long as we have permission to be on the property we are insured for accidents all our technicians are licensed, and if the technician experiences any reason to not treat properly he or she will have alternate treatment process to Rely on or won’t be treated at all. 

Reporting 

Another issue can be sometimes tenants wait till the infestation is severe to let the landlord know the problems. for the best and quickest results, it’s usually best to get to the solution as quickly as possible. this means hiring a pest control company to treat your property as soon as you witness the problem.

Conclusion
