Pest Control
Keeping their home and property pest-free is important for the
health of the tenant, their family and their neighbours. Pests,
such as cockroaches and mice, can carry disease. Others, such as
bed bugs, can be a real nuisance.
If tenants find any kind of pests in or around their home, they
should tell their Site Manager immediately. The Site Manager will
decide on how best to deal with the problem.
