Much like any other household unit, there are a lot of factors you have to think about if you want to make your home as safe and comfortable as possible. Because condo units are so closely-knitted with each other, pest infestation is possible to happen to one or more units. Pest infestations can cause significant damage to your belongings and to the property. Although prevention is always better, pest infestations just happen unexpectedly.
Do Condos Need Pest Control?
As I have mentioned earlier, condo units are usually so close-knitted that once an infestation happens, it’s hard to pinpoint where the root of the problem is. In addition to that, pest infestations can cause significant damage to the property such as the electrical and ventilation systems. Condominiums, like any other property, need proper pest control From the construction of the condo till it is finished, pest control is vital in maintaining the safety of the building inside and out.
How Do Condos Get Infested?
One of the most overlooked aspects during construction is pest control. Pests that nest during the construction of the building that goes unnoticed are usually the primary source of pest infestation in the building. Another common cause of pest infestation is when new tenants move in with pests that are from used items or on their pets to the condo unit.
Condos usually have strict guidelines when it comes to proper garbage disposals but sometimes isn’t followed. When littering and improper garbage disposal exists, chances of pest infestations rises. One other factor that can increase the chances of having a pest infestation inside your condominium is the age of the building, the older it is, the more likely pest infestation can happen.
