Pest is a simple word to read but is a threatening sign for every landlord. Because pest control at any property is the responsibility of landlords. Any kind of infestation can lead to severe loss, if not properly treated. Not only property loss occurs but the dream of living a healthy and peaceful life also turns to pieces. So, landlords always have to overlook their property regularly so that:

• They know exactly what kind of infestation is occurring and,
• how to manage/treat the infestation on time to avoid any severe loss.

There are some PEST CONTROL GUIDELINES that every landlord needs to know to save their properties from experiencing severe losses.

1. The very first guideline to notice is the assurance of pest-free land or property when buying. Landlords should always check the map and analyze the areas where the infestation can occur or not.
2. During the tenancy agreement, make sure who will be responsible for issues arising due to pest infestation.
3. If the landlord takes the responsibility for pest control then regular investigation is required to avoid any infestation.
4. If any sign of a pest attack occurs then, the landlord without wasting any time should hire an expert from a pest control agency to treat the infestation.
5. During renting property, a landlord should take clear insight and an outsight view of the property. Any damage like holes in walls or gaps in the roof can be the reason for infestation.

Every landlord should know these guidelines for pest control!
