The process involves a thorough sanitation effort to eliminate existing infestations and prevent future pest problems within an unoccupied residential unit. This typically includes removing food sources, eliminating harborage areas, and, in some cases, applying targeted pest control treatments.
Undertaking such a cleaning significantly enhances the marketability of the property, ensuring a more appealing and hygienic environment for prospective tenants. A pest-free apartment also mitigates potential legal liabilities associated with pest infestations and contributes to the building’s overall reputation. Historically, these cleaning practices have evolved from basic sanitation to incorporate integrated pest management strategies for long-term prevention.
