Pest Management FAQs for Property Managers & HOAs
Welcome to our Pest Control FAQ page, designed specifically for property managers and HOA leaders. Managing pest control for residential communities comes with unique challenges, from handling infestations to maintaining a safe, clean environment for all residents. In this guide, we address the most common pest management concerns and provide actionable tips on prevention, treatment, and long-term pest control solutions. With expert advice and integrated pest management strategies, we aim to make pest control simpler and more effective for community managers.
1. What types of pest control services do you offer for property management companies and HOA?
Major League Pest offers comprehensive pest control services. Our integrated pest management approach covers a wide range of pests, including gophers, squirrels, rats, mice, ants, cockroaches, and termites. We also provide damage repairs, regular preventative inspections, and targeted treatments to ensure effective, ongoing protection.
2. How often should pest control services be performed in a managed property or community?
In General, monthly for most of the common pests and Annually for Termites.
3. Do you provide integrated pest management (IPM) services?
All our services incorporate elements of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). For example, our rodent control service goes beyond treatment by providing recommendations such as securing dumpsters, trimming back trees, sealing crawlspace vents, and removing bird feeders if they’re attracting pests. This comprehensive approach helps prevent future infestations.
4. Are the treatments safe for residents and pets?
All pesticides, whether botanical or synthetic, have a level of toxicity that makes them effective for insect control. To ensure the safety of residents and pets, it’s important to rely on a professional. We use botanical and low-impact products for all our services and offer targeted solutions tailored to specific insects and situations.
5. Do you comply with local regulations and HOA-specific requirements?
Major League Pest adheres to all state and local regulations and offers customized plans tailored to the specific needs of HOAs.
6. How do you handle pest control in communal spaces versus individual units?
Combining IPM with targeted treatments for specific insect or rodent populations on the exterior is essential for enhancing control within individual units.

Property managers and larger communities enjoy the advantages of volume and bulk pricing.
