It may not seem like a big deal when see a single bug or cockroach, but the fact remains that just a single bug is an indicator of a much greater problem that’s looming. So, who is responsible for pest control? Let’s take a look!

Most often than not, the landlord is usually responsible for the basic pest control at a property.

Being smart critters, a rodent infestation of a garden can cause the owner a lot of problems. Rats are pests bringing about a wide range of health hazards. They’ll camp in your compost, eat away your fruits and vegetables, gnaw through fences, containers and planters and even spread harmful diseases to humans. The wild rats can bite or even scratch when approached and will seek shelter anywhere possible like in your greenhouses, shed and even in your home.
