Pest control frequency in Central Florida
I was wondering about the frequency of pest control service in central
Florida. We currently have a company visiting units once in 2 months. They just
spray for pests inside and perimeter of the units. They are also charging me in
case the tenant is not available to let them in.
Can this be 2 times a year or earlier if requested by tenant. I also do not
want to pay in the tenant is not available . How are you handling this. Please
share your thoughts.
Thanks

@Anna Sam we have a vacation rental home in Clermont, so the situation may be a little different, but our property manager arranges for a similar service quarterly (spray inside and outside perimeter) and this is done between guests. Also, once a year we go down and spend a few weeks inspecting and repairing the property. At that time we meet with a company and have them do an annual service where all switch and outlet plates are removed and granules put in, they pull back the appliances and drop granules, treat the hinges of the kitchen cabinets and also do a perimeter spray.
This really works! I can say that I have never seem a live bug in the house.
Perhaps you or the PM should arrange to meet the pest company, so no charges are incurred.
