Poncey-Highland pest control FAQ

Why do older apartment buildings have more roaches?

Shared plumbing, gaps in old walls and many units under one roof let roaches spread. Report roaches to management early so neighboring units can be treated too. See roaches in your apartment.

I rent in Poncey-Highland. Who handles pest control?

Check your lease. Report pests to your landlord or manager in writing with photos and dates. In older apartment buildings, roaches and mice often need to be treated in several units at once.

Why are mice worse in the fall?

As nights cool, mice look for warm shelter and food indoors. Sealing gaps around pipes and under doors before October helps.
