Pest Control Duties

Maintain a pest-free property by understanding your responsibilities clearly.

Pest Control Responsibilities

Entry points, sanitation, treatment scope, and prevention.

Topic Owner / Landlord (Typical) Tenant (Typical)
Entry points Address structural gaps/penetrations when verified. Report gaps; keep food sealed; maintain sanitation.
Treatment scope Owner if building-wide/entry-related is verified. Tenant if housekeeping-driven conditions are primary.
Rodents Address exterior access and building conditions. Manage trash; report droppings promptly.
Bedbugs Protocol-driven; case-specific response. Follow prep steps; report early; avoid self-treating.

What to Do First

Fastest Resolution Comes From Clear Info.

  • Upload Photos Of Evidence (Droppings, Entry Points).
  • List Where/When Sightings Occur.
  • Confirm Sanitation Steps Taken And Trash Schedule.
  • If Bites Suspected, Contact Immediately—Do Not Self-Treat.

How LPM Handles Responsibility Disputes

  • Stabilize first (stop damage, restore essential services).
  • Document objectively (photos, notes, timestamps, history).
  • Determine cause (wear vs misuse vs building condition).
  • Apply lease + standards; communicate a written decision.
