Property Managers Confront Pest Pressures

The economy informed pest control cutbacks for many property managers, among other cuts from maintenance to customer service. For some, the impact is starting to be felt. Lack of service can create numerous issues, and when tenants start noticing it can put profits on the line.

Your pest control investment can save money – and prevent infestations.

From Your NY/North Jersey Commercial Pest Control Specialist: “Facilities are seeing the need for better service. They’re in the business of making tenants happy. Lack of service, though, can create a lot of issues.” – Mike Whalen, Commercial Regional Sales Manager, NY/ Monmouth County, NJ

Whalen notes that pests are not tolerated by tenants in the way that a leaky faucet might be. They evoke a more visceral response. (And, by the way…regarding that leaky faucet? It can actually attract pests!) Whalen is noticing a trend of increased vigilance among property managers who realize they need help getting problems under control. If you’re in this situation, an experienced pest control partner will be important when undoing the effects of a less detailed approach.

“They’re taking a ‘You make my tenants happy, you make me happy’ approach.” – Mike Whalen
