How Our Pest Control Services Work

As is best practive for commercial exterminators, Wil-Kill uses an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach – a proactive, sustainable method of addressing pest issues in rental properties, with an emphasis on the prevention of pest infestations, thus minimizing the need for extermination.

WIL-KIL PEST CONTROL UTILIZES AN INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM) APPROACH

Key components of IPM for rental properties include:

Regular Inspections: Routine inspections to identify entry points and signs of common pests like cockroaches, bed bugs, rodents, and termites.

Pest Prevention: Implementing preventative measures, such as sealing cracks, proper waste management in common areas, and maintaining clean living spaces, can significantly reduce pest problems.

Treatment: Wil-Kil will carry out regular treatments and, if necessary, emergency pest management to handle infestations quickly and effectively. Depending on the pest problems your property is facing, there are a number of custom solutions your pest professional can provide. After treatment, your technician will follow-up until the pest is fully under control and provide prevention measures for the future.

Education: Educate renters on pest prevention practices, such as not leaving food out, proper trash disposal, and reporting any signs of pests to the property manager immediately.

Legal Compliance: Ensure the rental property complies with local laws and regulations regarding habitability responsibilities associated with pest control for apartments.

By adopting an IPM strategy, landlords and property managers can minimize the risk of pest problems, enhancing tenant satisfaction and protecting the property’s value.

Is the Landlord Responsible for Pest Control?

In Wisconsin, landlords are generally responsible for pest control, particularly if infestations arise from structural issues or poor building maintenance. According to state law, landlords must maintain rental properties in habitable condition, which includes addressing pest infestations. However, tenants may be responsible if the infestation is due to their negligence, such as improper waste disposal.
