Property managers dealing with bed bug situations in residential buildings face specific challenges. Tenants may be unable or unwilling to prepare their units, preparation deadlines may be tight, and the consequences of delayed treatment can affect multiple units. This article explains how Entrust The Care can support property management operations.
The Property Manager's Challenge
When a bed bug infestation is identified in a residential unit, the pest control contractor requires the unit to be prepared before treatment can proceed. If the tenant cannot or does not complete preparation, treatment is delayed. This can allow the infestation to spread to adjacent units, increasing the scope and cost of the problem.
Arranging Preparation Directly
Property managers can contact Entrust The Care directly to arrange preparation for a residential unit. You do not need to wait for the tenant to complete preparation independently. Providing the pest control contractor's preparation instructions, the unit address, the scheduled treatment date and any available photographs of the unit condition helps our team assess the scope of work.
Coordination With the Pest Control Contractor
Entrust The Care can work from preparation instructions provided by the pest control contractor and coordinate preparation requirements where necessary. Our role is to prepare the residential environment for treatment. The licensed pest control contractor remains responsible for the actual pest control treatment.
Work Orders and Documentation
For organizational clients, Entrust The Care can work within work order processes and provide service documentation as required. Contact our team to discuss the specific requirements of your organization.
Multiple Units
Property managers dealing with bed bug situations across multiple units can contact Entrust The Care to discuss coordination of preparation services. Our team is experienced in working within housing provider and property management environments.
