One tenant complaint about mice means there are mice in three units. Apartment complexes, multi-family rentals, and property management portfolios need programs that treat at the building level, not the unit level — and that document everything for tenant disputes.
Property management rodent control in Savannah is the multi-unit, building-wide rodent program designed for apartment complexes, rental portfolios, and property managers handling more than one tenant. Unlike single-family residential work, multi-unit programs have to address shared walls and floors (rodents travel between units through plumbing chases and wall voids), shared common areas (trash rooms, basements, attics), tenant turnover, and tenant-landlord documentation. Our programs cover individual units, common-area exclusion, building-wide monitoring, and the paperwork landlords need. Typical setup $400–$1,200; ongoing service $30–$80 per unit per month.
Savannah’s rental market spans extremes. SCAD-driven student housing across the Historic District, Victorian District, and east-of-downtown blocks creates concentrated multi-unit pressure that turns over twice a year. Long-term apartment complexes in Garden City, Pooler, Berwick, and southside Savannah handle year-round tenant rotation. The Landings, Skidaway, and Isle of Hope HOA-governed properties combine long-term ownership with periodic rental turnover. Each pattern produces a different rodent profile.
What makes multi-unit work distinct is that rodents don’t respect unit boundaries. A roof rat population in the attic above building A travels along common rafters to attics above buildings B and C. A Norway rat colony at the dumpster pad serves the whole complex. House mice in unit 207’s kitchen wall traveled there from 107 below or 307 above. Treating individual units without addressing the building-wide pressure means the problem rotates between units instead of resolving. Our multi-unit programs are built for that reality.
We tour the property with the manager — building exteriors, common spaces, trash areas, attics, basements, and any units with active complaints. Map of pressure points produced.
Per-unit budget vs. building-wide scope discussed. Most properties combine a building-wide exterior + common-area program with per-unit response budgets.
Exterior stations, common-area monitors, baseline documentation. Property manager receives station map and reporting protocol.
Monthly or quarterly station service. Active-unit complaints route directly to dispatch and get same-day or next-day inspection.
Service notices in occupied units; written reports for the manager; tenant-facing summaries when units are treated. All paper trails for landlord-tenant accountability.
Multi-unit pricing scales by unit count, building count, and how much per-unit interior work the property typically generates. Heavy tenant-complaint properties cost more per unit per month than stable ones.
| Scope | What's included | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Setup — small property (4–12 units) | Building inspection, exterior install, baseline | $400–$800 |
| Setup — mid property (12–40 units) | Multi-building walk, full perimeter, common-area monitors | $800–$1,800 |
| Monthly service — small property | Common-area + exterior monthly service | $30–$50/unit/month |
| Monthly service — mid/large property | Full monthly scope + per-unit response budget | $40–$80/unit/month |
All scopes include initial inspection and a written quote before work begins.

📞 Call (912) 305-0115Building-wide work (exterior, common areas, attics, basements) runs on a scheduled monthly cycle. Individual tenant complaints route to same-day or next-day per-unit inspection — either covered under the building program if it’s included in your contract, or billed per-unit if treated as additional work. Most property managers structure it as ‘X complaint-visits per month included, additional visits billed.’
No. Per-unit treatment uses traps and exclusion sealing, not fumigants or fogging. We schedule visits with the tenant directly when possible, or with the property manager’s notice when not. Typical unit visit is 30–60 minutes; tenants can be home or away.
Yes — service notices, treatment summaries, and visit-required notifications are available in English and Spanish. Savannah’s rental market includes meaningful Spanish-speaking tenant populations, particularly in food-service workforce housing, and we accommodate.
We document what we find regardless of who’s paying. Tenants who hire us directly receive written reports that hold up in landlord disputes; landlords who hire us receive the same documentation. Georgia rental law generally puts pest control on the landlord for habitability issues, but specific lease terms vary. We provide the documentation; we don’t take sides in the dispute.
Yes — turnover periods are when most exclusion work gets done. Empty units allow access to areas occupied units don’t (behind appliances, into wall voids during renovation, full crawl-space and attic work above the unit). We coordinate with your turnover schedule to do extensive work during vacancy windows.
Yes — SCAD-area student rentals across the Historic District and Victorian District are a regular service area for us. The semester turnover cycle (August/September move-ins, January transitions, May move-outs) is predictable and we structure programs around it. We’ve learned what the turnover surge looks like and we schedule for it.
Treat the building, not just the affected unit. If unit 105 has mice and unit 205 above it doesn’t but the wall void connects them, the mice came from somewhere — and they’ll appear in 205 next unless we address the shared infrastructure. Our multi-unit assessments include the plumbing chase, electrical chase, and shared structural cavity inspection that single-unit work skips.
We currently deliver documentation via email and physical reports rather than a portal. Multi-property accounts receive consolidated monthly summaries. If your portfolio is large enough to need a portal-based system, we can discuss what makes sense; for most multi-unit accounts the email-and-PDF system is fine.
Yes — setup covers the initial inspection, exterior station installation, common-area monitor installation, and baseline documentation. Monthly covers ongoing service. The setup-plus-monthly structure is industry standard and meaningfully cheaper than per-visit billing for active properties. For very small properties (under 8 units) we can sometimes structure a single per-visit rate.
