Shared kitchens, high tenant turnover and communal spaces make HMOs and student housing some of the hardest properties to keep pest-free, and infestations spread fast between rooms. JG Pest Control provides scheduled commercial pest control contracts for HMOs and student accommodation across the UK, with same-day emergency callouts and cover every day of the year except Christmas Day, from early morning until late.
The pests that target HMOs and student accommodation
Shared living drives most of the risk, with communal kitchens and turnover at the heart of it. The main pests are:
- Mice - the number-one HMO pest, moving freely through shared voids and kitchens.
- Bed bugs - they spread between rooms with tenant turnover and second-hand furniture.
- Cockroaches - they colonise shared kitchens and warm voids.
- Ants - they trail into communal kitchens in summer.
- Flies - a hygiene issue around shared bins and kitchens.
Licensing and HHSRS compliance
HMO licensing and the Housing Health and Safety Rating System place clear duties on landlords to keep properties free of infestation. Our contracts cover the communal areas where problems start and give you the records your licensing authority expects.
