HOAs & Co-ops
Residents keep raising the rat problem at board meetings.
The 90-day program gives you something to show them.
Standard treatment clears the problem and it comes back. When residents ask again next month, you need more than a service receipt. The 90-day monitoring record shows a documented declining trend — which changes what the board says at the next meeting.
Start the 90-day programWhy HOAs and co-ops face a different version of this
The board controls the common areas. The rat pressure comes in through the common areas.
In an HOA or co-op, the board controls common areas and shared infrastructure — and that's almost always where the rodent pressure enters. Individual unit owners can keep their apartments clean. They can't control the basement, the trash room, the courtyard, or the exterior perimeter.
Standard treatment clears what's active. Within weeks the same pressure fills back in through the same pathways. The board pays for treatment again. Residents see no change. It becomes a pattern — and patterns come up at board meetings.
The 90-day program gives the board something the pest control contract alone doesn't: a documented declining trend. That changes the board meeting conversation from "why is this still happening" to "here's what we put in place and here's the data."
Common area accountability
Boards are responsible for common area maintenance under governing documents. A persistent rodent problem in shared spaces is a board-level failure by definition.
Property value exposure
Persistent rodent problems become visible in disclosure requirements and word-of-mouth among prospective buyers. An open HPD rodent violation on a building's record affects resale and refinancing.
Legal exposure
NYC and NJ housing codes place pest management obligations on building owners. In a co-op, the corporation owns the structure. Persistent infestation creates actionable liability.
How it works for HOAs and co-ops
Your existing exterminator stays. We add what changes the outcome.
The 90-day program runs alongside whatever pest control contract is in place. Phase 1 handles treatment. Phase 2 adds Evolve fertility management across common areas, the building perimeter, and known rat travel paths.
Treatment and documentation
Your current exterminator handles treatment across common areas and produces the compliance documentation. We coordinate with them to get a clean, documented baseline across the building before Phase 2 starts. No vendor change required.
Fertility management across the building
Evolve bait stations go in at basement corridors, trash areas, the exterior perimeter, and utility access points. Made from cottonseed — EPA minimum risk, no secondary kill risk, safe for occupied residential buildings with residents and pets.
Monthly reports document activity per station across the building. The 90-day record shows a declining trend the board can present to residents, use for HPD certification, or attach to housing court proceedings. It replaces "we treated it" with actual numbers.
