Hello, 

I am new to being a landlord, and my tenants just moved into a beautiful new construction home, with a backyard that has not been formally landscaped. It is fenced in and there is some grass covering the backyard, which I have a lawn person taking care of. My tenants emailed me telling me they would like the backyard "sprayed for bugs." I stayed in the house for 8 months, and aside from occasional ants and a couple of yellow jackets, I did not see any other pests. I searched and did not find any specific requirements for the state of North Carolina that demands that the landlord is required to hire pest control to spray the entire backyard. I replied to the tenants and told them that if they would like to they can hire pest control and have the backyard sprayed. Am I in the wrong here. Looking for any advice.
