Pest Control For HOAs

Pest Control Policies for HOAs

Does your HOA cover pest control? According to California state law, property owners are responsible for the maintenance and repair of their separate interests as well as “exclusive use common area.” This law only applies if your HOA policy does not have any specific provisions regarding pest control in your governing documents. Therefore, it is important to check your CC&Rs and bylaws to see where responsibility lies.

If your policy does cover common areas, such as lobbies, pools and fitness centers, Pest Patrol can help. We can treat immediate outbreaks as well as develop a recurring plan to keep your HOA community pest free.

In the case of a resident-caused pest control problem, documentation and process are key. It is your board’s responsibility to send appropriate notices and take legal action if necessary. In that case, we recommend reviewing your pest control policy, state law and any other agreements before proceeding.

We can help you develop governing documents for your HOA pest control policy and set up HOA pest control services to make sure your common areas are protected.
