Multi-Family & Apartment Buildings Pest Control
Michigan apartment pest control: coordinated unit treatment, bed bug building-wide programs, resident-communication materials.
Commercial Pest Control for Metro Detroit Multi-Family & Apartment Buildings
BTR Pest Control serves Metro Detroit apartment complexes, condo associations, senior living facilities, and student housing with building-wide pest programs designed for multi-family properties. Single-unit treatment rarely works in apartments because pests (especially cockroaches, bed bugs, and mice) travel through shared walls, electrical outlets, and plumbing chases. BTR programs treat the building systemically, with property manager coordination, resident notification templates, and compliance documentation for HUD, MSHDA, and private property management standards.
Common Pests in Metro Detroit Apartments
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs in apartment buildings spread through shared walls, outlets, and common laundry rooms. Treatment of a single unit often pushes bed bugs next door. BTR offers building-wide heat treatment, K-9 detection inspection, and coordinated multi-unit chemical programs.
German Cockroaches
Kitchens in multi-family buildings share plumbing stacks that German cockroaches use as highways between floors. BTR treats the entire stack, not just the affected unit.
House Mice
Mice in apartment buildings enter through exterior gaps, then travel through wall voids to reach every unit. Exterior exclusion combined with interior monitoring is required.
Oriental Cockroaches
Oriental cockroaches in basements, laundry rooms, and utility rooms are common in older Detroit-area apartment buildings. Drain and void treatment required.

Why Apartment Owners Choose BTR

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer building-wide bed bug programs?
Yes. BTR offers three building-wide bed bug programs: heat treatment (fastest, best for severe infestations), chemical program (3-visit protocol over 30 days), and hybrid (heat + chemical for high-rise buildings). Property managers receive a proposal with timeline, unit preparation instructions, and resident materials.
How does BTR coordinate with property managers?
Every multi-family client receives a dedicated account manager. Service scheduling, resident complaints, board reports, and compliance documentation flow through a single contact. Large properties receive monthly board-ready reports.
Can BTR service occupied units with pets or children?
Yes. All BTR products are EPA-approved for occupied dwellings. Bed bug heat treatment requires residents and pets to leave for 6-8 hours; chemical treatment is safe to re-enter once dry (typically 30-60 minutes).
Do you handle senior living and assisted living facilities?
Yes. BTR serves independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing facilities across Metro Detroit. All technicians undergo additional training for working in senior environments, including quiet service protocols and sensitivity to residents with cognitive impairments.
What is the typical monthly cost for an apartment building pest program?
Monthly commercial contracts are priced per building, not per unit. Factors include building size, age, pest pressure, and service frequency. Most BTR multi-family contracts fall between $297 and $2,997 per month. Call (734) 338-1828 for a property-specific quote.
