If you manage apartments, single-family rentals or a small commercial building in Evansville, you do not need a pest company that is impressive. You need one that shows up when it said it would, talks to your tenants so you do not have to, and tells you in plain words what it found. That is the account we built our commercial pest control around.

The problem is rarely the pest. It is the vendor.
Most property managers who call us already have a pest company. They are calling because it stopped being reliable. The tenant in 2B reported roaches, a tech was due Tuesday, nobody showed, and now the same tenant is calling a second time, angrier, and copying the landlord. You did not miss the appointment. You get blamed for it anyway.
The other half is silence. A treatment happens and you get an invoice with a product name on it and nothing else. Was it actually roaches? Which units? Will it spread? You are left explaining a job you never saw to an owner who wants an answer.
Then there is tenant coordination. Someone has to reach the tenant, agree on a time, explain the prep and confirm the day before. When the pest company will not do it, that lands on your desk, unit by unit.
What a dependable pest account looks like
Here is how we run a property or commercial account from the first call. It is the same process whether you have one duplex or a portfolio.
An owner-led walkthrough of the property
Richard or Gil walks the building with you: exterior, foundation, dumpster pad, mechanical rooms, common areas, and a sample of units. You see the same things we see, and we tell you what matters and what does not.
A written plan per building or unit type
An apartment building, a set of rental houses and a restaurant do not get the same plan. You get a short written scope for each property that says what we treat, where, how often and what we watch for.
Scheduled recurring service, with a call before each visit
Visits go on a calendar. You get a heads-up before we come so the office is never surprised, and you always know who is on your property and why.
We schedule with tenants and explain the prep
When a unit needs attention, we contact the tenant, set the time, and explain what to do beforehand in plain language. You are copied, not put in the middle.
Findings reported to you in plain terms
After each visit you know what we found, where, what we did about it and whether anything needs the owner’s attention, such as a gap under a door or a leak feeding a roach problem.
Bed bug and roach protocols built for multi-unit
Bed bugs and German roaches move between units, so we inspect the neighbors and treat as a building, not a single door. See our bed bug service for apartments and businesses and our cockroach control page for how each works.
What a property manager in Evansville says about us
Great price. I’m a property manager for an apartment building and some single-family homes. Richard and Gil go above and beyond for us. They communicate and educate us well on any issues. They also communicate with tenants when needing to make appointments. Highly recommend.
Stacy manages the mix we see most often here: one apartment building plus a handful of single-family homes. Notice what she points to: not the product, but the communication and the fact that we call her tenants ourselves. All three of our client reviews are on the reviews page.
Service by property type
Different buildings attract different pests and need different paperwork. This is the shape of the plan we write for each type.
| Property type | Common pests | What each visit focuses on | Documentation you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apartment buildings | German cockroaches, bed bugs, mice, ants, occasional wasps | Common areas, trash and laundry rooms, reported units plus their neighbors, exterior entry points | Per-unit findings, which units were entered, tenant prep notes, anything needing maintenance |
| Single-family rentals | Ants, spiders, mice in fall, wasps, occasional roaches after a turnover | Exterior perimeter, garage and crawl space access, kitchen and bath interior as needed | Visit summary per house, turnover inspection notes when a tenant moves out |
| Restaurants and food service | German cockroaches, flies, rodents, stored-product pests | Kitchen line, dish pit, dry storage, drains, back door and dumpster area, delivery entry | Service log kept on site for health inspections, findings and corrective notes after each visit |
| Offices and retail | Ants, spiders, mice, occasional roaches from break rooms | Perimeter, break rooms, receiving, ceiling and utility penetrations | Visit report to the manager or owner, with recommendations for the building |
Rodents in rentals and commercial buildings
Mice are the fall complaint in Southwest Indiana. Once nights cool off, they find the gap under the utility door, the opening around a gas line, or the unsealed corner of a garage, and a tenant hears them in the wall by October. In a multi-unit building, one open entry point serves every unit above it.
For property accounts we go exclusion first: find and document the entry points, tell you which ones maintenance can seal and which we handle, then set bait stations and monitoring where needed. Trapping without sealing means paying for the same mice every winter. Details are on our rodent control page.
Getting started
Call or use the form and tell us what you manage: how many buildings, roughly how many units, and what is bothering you right now. Richard or Gil will come out for a free walkthrough. You get a written quote per building or property type with the scope spelled out, so you can put it in front of an owner without guessing. If a specific unit is on fire right now, we handle that first and set up the recurring plan after.
Not sure whether recurring service makes sense for a smaller property? Our guide on recurring vs. one-time pest control lays out the honest trade-offs, and our recurring plans page explains what a scheduled visit covers.

Questions property managers ask us
Do you really contact the tenants yourselves?
Yes. Once you give us the go-ahead and the contact information, we call the tenant, set the appointment, and explain what they need to do before we arrive. You get a copy of what was scheduled. If a tenant is hard to reach, we tell you rather than quietly skipping the unit.
How does bed bug service work across several units?
We inspect the reported unit and the units that share walls, floors and ceilings with it, because bed bugs travel through the building, not just the door. Affected units get a full 24-hour heat treatment at 135°F, and K9 Detections, a separate company, verifies with a trained dog afterward. The full protocol is on our apartments and businesses page.
What does the documentation look like?
After each visit you get a plain-language summary: what we found, where, what we did, and anything that needs maintenance or owner attention. For restaurants we keep a service log on site for health inspections. If you need reports in a specific format for an owner or a management company, tell us and we will match it.
Who actually comes out to my property?
Richard, our owner, holds Indiana 7A supervisory and 7B termite licenses and does most initial walkthroughs personally, sometimes with Gil, our operations manager. Recurring visits are handled by technicians certified through the Office of the Indiana State Chemist, working under Richard’s license. We are fully insured.
Which areas do you cover for commercial accounts?
Evansville first, plus Newburgh, Boonville, Mount Vernon, Princeton, Jasper, Washington, Santa Claus and Bloomington. If your portfolio is spread across several of those towns, we can put every property on one schedule. See all service areas.
