What to do about pests in your property​

At some point, most landlords will have to deal with a pest control problem in their rental properties. We can provide free advice to both landlords and tenants in preventing pests and what to do if your property has a pest control issue.

What steps can landlords take to prevent pest control problems?

An infestation will result in landlords having to contact a pest control company. The costs incurred in both pest control treatments and possible loss of rental income while the infestation is dealt with will soon multiply.

Landlords can however take steps to reduce the risk of pests:

  • Ensuring the property is in a good state of repair and maintained
  • Providing good storage for refuse both inside and outside of the property
  • Pest control survey before change of tenancy

What should landlords do if an infestation occurs?

If there is evidence of an infestation in your property contact us, and we will offer free advice, and arrange a pest control survey. We will provide you with a full report highlighting any problems and recommendations to ensure the immediate infestation is controlled, and implement measures to prevent issues happening in the future.
