MEMO #1020: Extermination Procedures - 11/21/02

This memo will explain the required procedures for dealing with vermin infestation at vacant properties.

A licensed pest control service (exterminator) is required to properly fumigate a property infested with roaches, water bugs, fleas, bees, wasps, yellow jackets, flies, or mice, rats, or other rodents. The pest control service must be licensed to conduct business in the area where the subject property is located.

The extermination bid must be itemized and should include the following:

  1. Licensed exterminator's fee (must agree with the exterminator's receipt, which is to be submitted with your update and invoice after the extermination as evidence that the work was completed by a licensed service company)
  2. Your fee to give access, supervise the extermination, and document that the work has been completed satisfactorily

When the extermination is completed, you must provide the following:

  1. The exterminator's receipt
  2. Your invoice itemizing the extermination charges and your trip charge
  3. Photo showing the exterminator at the property with his/her equipment and/or truck
  4. Your update confirming that the extermination was completed satisfactorily

If you have any questions regarding extermination procedures, please contact the Safeguard office.
