Your Neighbor Has Pests โ€” Protect Your Home Now

Your neighbor just told you they have bed bugs. Or roaches. Or rodents. Don't panic โ€” but don't wait. Pests travel through wall voids, plumbing chases, and shared hallways. Here's exactly what to do to protect your home before they arrive.

Who This Is For

Anyone in a multi-unit building (apartment, condo, townhouse) whose neighbor has confirmed pests. Homeowners in detached homes whose adjacent neighbor has an infestation.

The Problem

Bed bugs travel through electrical outlets and wall voids. Roaches follow plumbing lines between units. Rodents use shared attic spaces and crawl spaces. In multi-unit buildings, treating only the infested unit is futile โ€” adjacent units need inspection too.

When to Call a Professional

Within a week of learning about your neighbor's infestation. Professional preventive inspection costs $75-$200 and catches problems at the entry stage โ€” when treatment is cheapest and easiest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my landlord treat my unit if my neighbor has pests?
Most states require landlords to maintain pest-free housing. If your neighbor has confirmed pests, request an inspection of your unit in writing. Check your state's landlord-tenant laws. Many require treatment of adjacent units, not just the infested one.
