Association responsibilities

When it comes to pest control, Queens Cross Housing Association is responsible for: 

1. Making sure all properties, including gardens, are pest free before a tenant moves in. 
2. Carrying out repairs and treating infestations if the problem was caused by disrepair or lack of action on the Association's part. 
3. Intervening if there are serious vermin infestations inside a property, e.g. rats, bed bugs and cockroaches as these can spread disease and a risk to public health.  They can spread quickly into the fabric of the building and can be very difficult and expensive to eradicate.
