Pest Control
Unfortunately, cockroaches, bedbugs, mice, and other pests can sometimes get into homes. They are harder to control in places that are cluttered or overcrowded.
You can help us control pests on your property:
- Keep your unit clean and clutter-free.
- Do not feed pigeons, squirrels, or stray animals. They can attract other pests.
- Do not pick up furniture that others have thrown away, as it could be infested.
- Do not put any garbage in hallways or on the floors of chute rooms, as this contributes to infestation.
- Make sure all garbage is placed into the garbage receptacle and the hatch is fully closed. Larger items that do not fit into the chute must be brought to the bulk garbage area.
Bed bugs are a problem in many cities in North America, including London. The only way to control them is to treat infested units right away.
If you throw out pest-infested furniture or mattresses, ask Maintenance Repair staff for plastic to wrap these items before taking them out of your unit. Never leave anything in the hallway.
There is no charge for pest control or treatment unless you fail to prepare your unit or refuse to let the contractor in. Once the pests have been properly reported, you will receive instructions on preparing your unit for treatment. Report pests by:
