I'm trying to find out if a landlord is required to regularly have someone come to the properties they own (residential) to exterminate for bugs or any other type of pests. I'm curious because I've lived here 5 years and the only time they ever did what they called "exterminate" was 3 yrs. ago when they came in and set those ugly little ant/roach motel things in a few corners of some of the rooms. When I asked the property manager, they stated that this complex is clean and they have no need to spray. I don't have a problem with bugs yet, however, I have some neighbors that moved in about 5 months ago and they appear to be lacking in personal care, housekeeping skills, and hygiene. I'm concerned it may become a problem pretty soon if it isn't sprayed on a regular basis. Anyone know if there are regulations for this?

If you get bugs, they have to deal with it, if you don't get bugs, they don't have anything to deal with. Why would you want them to come in and boot you out of your place while it is fogged if you don't have bugs?
