Pest control for property managers and apartments

A pest problem can negatively impact your occupancy rate and your facility’s reputation.

Preventative pest control is essential in residential property management - a pest problem in one apartment, left unchecked, can spread throughout the building carrying potential disease and infection. Once pests have gained access to a building they need very little food and water to thrive and multiply.

Importance of proper pest control for apartments

In multifamily housing, pest control is more than just a maintenance concern—it’s a crucial part of protecting residents’ health, maintaining your property's reputation, and ensuring legal compliance. Multifamily property managers need to ensure that at the first sign of a pest problem, they act quickly to prevent any infestation from spreading throughout their properties and neighboring buildings.

Shared walls, communal spaces, and connected plumbing systems make apartments particularly vulnerable to pest infestations. A single infestation in one unit can quickly become a building-wide problem if not addressed promptly and effectively.

Presto-X understands the complexities of managing pest control in apartment and multifamily environments. That’s why we provide tailored, preventative solutions that minimize tenant disruption while maximizing protection.

Pest infestations in managed properties

No property manager ever wants to have to deal with a pest problem. Unfortunately, multifamily housing is particularly susceptible to pest problems due to the multiple entry points into a building. 

Unchecked pest infestations can lead to more than just tenant complaints—they can cause significant damage to your property and reputation. Cockroaches, rodents, bed bugs, and other pests pose health risks by transmitting diseases and triggering allergies. 

Negative impacts of pests in multifamily housing include:

  • Termination of leases
  • Vacancies leading to revenue loss
  • Compensation claims
  • High cost of delayed pest control treatments
  • Maintenance and repair costs
  • Damaged reputation of the property manager

In today’s digital world, one bad review due to pests can damage your brand and deter prospective tenants. A proactive pest control program helps ensure tenant satisfaction, lease renewals, and peace of mind.

Methods to prevent pests in apartments

Presto-X works with property managers to implement an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach, combining proactive inspections, resident education, and environmentally responsible treatments.

Key prevention methods include:

  • Sealing cracks, gaps, and utility entry points
  • Regular waste management and sanitation protocols
  • Moisture control in basements, laundry rooms, and kitchens
  • Educating tenants on pest-prevention habits
  • Monitoring and early detection programs

We carefully inspect the property to assess the risk and prevent a pest problem from taking hold. Your Presto-X technician will regularly visit your apartment building to look for signs of pest activity, resolve active concerns, identify potential risks, and advise on steps you can take to reduce the risk of pest problems.

By addressing pest risks before they become infestations, we help protect your property from long-term issues and keep tenants happy.

At Presto-X, we partner with property managers to deliver discreet and flexible pest control services tailored to your building's needs. We offer a proactive approach combined with preventative measures, which will help to reduce the risk of a serious pest infestation and greatly reduce the threat of pests in the first place. 

As part of our GreenPro credentials, we will use the most environmentally responsible products and processes whenever possible. We can also help tenants improve their pest awareness, which can help detect the early signs of pest activity—the earlier a pest problem is detected, the better.

We understand that your time is valuable. That’s why we provide streamlined services and clear communication, ensuring you stay informed and in control of every step.

Our expert team provides the following professional pest control services for property managers:

Bed bug control

Bed bugs can quickly spread through apartment complexes. Once they spread, they can be difficult to contain, causing serious distress for tenants. Our bed bug treatments help eliminate infestations and prevent reinfestation.

Flying insect control

Problems with flying insects such as houseflies and blowflies, moths, and mosquitoes in rented premises are important to address quickly, as these insects can spread harmful bacteria. 

Flies are often attracted to trash collection points, either in a building’s basement or in outdoor areas housing trash receptacles, recycling containers, and composting facilities. In most cases, protecting windows with screens will effectively prevent the entry and proliferation of flying insects within the property.

In the event that the flying insect problem cannot be permanently eliminated because of conditions conducive to pests, Presto-X offers a wide range of efficient fly trapping devices for use in indoor spaces such as basements, lobbies, stairwells, offices and kitchen areas.

Rodent control

Mice and rats damage property and pose health risks. Presto-X rodent control services include exclusion methods and baiting programs to help eliminate infestations.

Bird control

Birds nesting in buildings leave droppings, cause other property damage, and create health hazards. We can help you with humane bird deterrent solutions to help protect properties.

Crawling insect control

Cockroaches, ants, and other crawling pests can infest apartments if left unchecked. We provide targeted treatments to help remove and prevent infestations.

Stored product pests

Pests like beetles and moths contaminate food supplies in apartment storage areas. Our solutions help eliminate these pests and protect stored goods.

Termite control

Termites pose a serious threat to building structures. Our pest and termite solutions help protect properties from expensive termite damage. 

Vegetation management services

Overgrown landscaping can harbor pests by creating thriving breeding grounds. Our vegetation management services help to reduce pest breeding grounds and improve property aesthetics.
