Commercial · Property managers & multi-unit
Pest control for apartments and condos, building-wide.
Bed bugs and cockroaches travel between units, so treating one apartment rarely ends the problem. We plan treatment across the building, coordinate with tenants and keep the records you need.
- Building-wide treatment plans
- Tenant prep checklists (EN & FR)
- Service records for every visit

In brief
How do you get rid of pests in an apartment building?
Pests in apartment buildings spread through shared walls, plumbing and hallways, so the affected unit and the units around it — above, below and on each side — need to be inspected and treated together. A building-wide plan, tenant preparation and follow-up visits stop bed bugs and cockroaches moving from one unit to the next.
Why pests spread in multi-unit buildings
Shared walls, pipe chases, garbage rooms and frequent move-ins give bed bugs, cockroaches and mice easy routes between units. Treating only the unit that complained usually pushes the pests next door, which is why the neighbouring units need inspecting too.
Bed bugs
Move between units on furniture, luggage and through wall voids.

How a building-wide pest plan works
- 01
Inspect the affected unit and its neighbours
Above, below and on each side, so we find how far activity has spread.
- 02
Prepare tenants
Each tenant gets a simple prep checklist in English or French before treatment day.
- 03
Treat and seal
Targeted treatment in every affected unit, plus sealing of shared gaps and pipe penetrations.
- 04
Follow up and report
Return visits confirm activity has stopped; you receive a written record for every unit.
Records, RentSafeTO and landlord responsibilities
In Ontario, landlords are generally responsible for keeping rental units free of pests, and Toronto's RentSafeTO program sets pest-management requirements for many apartment buildings, including keeping records of pest control. Written service reports make those records easy. (General information, not legal advice.)
- A written report for every unit treated: date, pest, work done, next step
- Tenant notices and prep checklists you can forward
- Scheduled preventive visits for garbage rooms and common areas
- One point of contact for the property manager
Frequently asked questions
Who pays for pest control in a rental unit?
In Ontario, landlords are generally responsible for keeping rental units free of pests, while tenants are expected to report problems promptly and help with preparation. (General information, not legal advice.)
Do you treat the units next to an infested one?
We inspect the surrounding units and recommend treating any that show activity. That's the most reliable way to stop bed bugs and cockroaches moving back.
Can you give tenants instructions in French?
Yes. Tenant prep checklists are available in English and French.
Do you offer contracts for property managers?
Yes. We offer scheduled preventive programs for common areas and garbage rooms, plus priority response for tenant complaints. Book a site assessment for a quote.
