Who doesn’t love to sit on the chair onto the balcony, relax and enjoy nature? Is it you? Probably no! Everyone loves it, especially in the Strata Managed Properties, where people own particular space, the balcony is the most relaxing place for them. But wasps would not let you relax or leave alone. It can take a sip from your glass of juice.

What are we talking about? Don’t you get it yet?

Well, what we are indicating is the pest infestation in your Strata Managed Property. Knowing the necessity of pest control in condo property is helpful for both tenants and strata property managers to prevent the outbreak of pest infestation.

WHY CONDOS NEED PEST CONTROL

Pests control is an obvious step. Still, there are lots of valid reasons why your Strata Managed Property needs pest control programs. Here you will find some of the reasons in the following paragraphs.

Pest invasion interferes in people’s daily life. Nothing can be more stressful than finding a creepy around a toothbrush. Or rodents running through your cupboard aren’t pleasing at all. And those roaches – these are the creepiest creature one wants in his/her condo property.

As the manager of a condo’s strata, not fixing the problem is unexpected from you. Reputation is everything, no matter how large or small condo property or building you own. The news of a pest-infested condominium complex spreads fast, and the bad impression becomes another infestation actually.

Preventing the infestation in the first place is an ideal decision than leaving the infestation for a few weeks to spread to nearby condo properties. In fact, prevention is much more inexpensive than pest control when the infestation has extended. So, every report of pest infestation in condo properties should be taken seriously by the strata council. Not only that, the management should take steps against the pests as soon as possible.

Pests can create severe damages to any property, for example, structure damage, furniture damage, contaminating the insulation, even damaging ventilation system and electrical wiring. The longer time you allow staying in your property, the extensive damage they will cause.

Damaging belongings and properties are not the only things that pests do. They transmit diseases, and sometimes they even attract wildlife to a property. And the last thing you may expect is a health risk.

In brief, condo properties need pest control.
