Preventative pest controls for Airbnb

[Leon Lee]

Hi, STR investors

Just curious what kind of services and how frequent you all order for preventative pest control at your short-term rentals? Tenants just messaged saying that they spot a big roach in the house. I just had pest control company sprayed the house three weeks ago. The house is old and was neglected by previous long-term tenants. 

Any inputs will be appreciated!

We own an STR in the desert on a golf course. At the beginning, I noticed a lot of pests around the property (scorpions, spiders, beetles etc). We hired a pest control company that comes out once a month to spray the property. It's helped out a ton and we haven't had problems. If your having issues with pests, I'd definitely recommend getting this service. We pay $37/month.
