In most cases, pest control will only spray apartments on the outside. However, you can request treatment inside your apartment pending approval from management/landlord. Let’s take a look at where pest control will typically spray in apartments.
How To Prepare Your Apartment To Be Sprayed
There are a few things tenants can do to prepare their apartments for spraying. For example, make sure any pets are either secured in a kennel or out of the apartment entirely. Clean the apartment as much as you can. If there are crowded or cluttered areas, these will be more difficult for pest control to spray.
Tenants should also make sure all baseboards are clear. Baseboards will need to be sprayed down at this time. Move everything away from all walls. It’s crucial for the pest control professionals to get around all walls with ease.
Where Is Pest Control Sprayed Around The Apartment?
While most treatments will be sprayed on the outside, you can request inside service to be approved by the management/landlord. The following areas will be treated indoors by local pest control professionals.
Bathrooms
Moist settings, like most bathrooms, will attract pests. Pest control professionals target drains, pipes, and underneath sinks. Spray helps to eliminate bugs and disturb breeding areas.
Kitchen
Due to the food supplies, ants, cockroaches, and pantry moths, are likely to collect in this area. Pest control professionals will spray under sinks, inside cabinets, and along baseboards to eliminate any issues.
Bedrooms And Living Rooms
Both these areas are usually less prone to infestations. However, if you have a flea or bed bug issue, the experts might spray around the bed and other furniture.
What Areas Do Pests Target?
Based on the type of infestation, pest control experts will focus on the following areas listed below.
Foundation
Treatments will be applied to the home’s foundation and crawlspace.
Wall Gaps
Treatment will be applied to wall gaps/voids to target pests living within walls of the home.
Conclusion
Typically, this process is completed quickly. The professionals will go around your apartment, hitting all the activity points. Depending on the severity of the issue, the professionals may have to come back to retreat in a few weeks or so.
