Pest control and COVID-19

We have a batch of properties that we took over with tenants late last year, and a number of those properties came with bugs and are on recurring treatment schedules with Orkin.  At least here in Upstate NY, Orkin as of Friday is doing interiors only on request (as in, happy to do them but only if customer says "please do the interior").

I texted each tenant and explained they could say "yes" or "no" to interior treatment at this time - so far all who have replied have said "yes".  If anyone says "no" I plan to reiterate that future pest activity will be their responsibility to control.

Any thoughts or strategies to share?
