• Schedule an annual termite inspec- tion. Have a licensed pest con- trol professional check for moisture problems and signs of termite activ- ity. If your property sustained any damage during the winter months or took on water, you could be at an increased risk for termites. Pest control is all about being proac- tive and investing time and resources into prevention. Effective pest control planning avoids infestations and, just as important, minimizes their severity if they do occur. Inspections should be performed on regularly, along with pre- ventative treatments, Also, know what pests will likely rear their ugly heads at particular times of the year. Finally, the benefits of working with a pest control professional experienced in community properties to implement an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program are multifold. A properly implemented IPM will help avoid costly property damage, keep your residents happy, maintain the reputation of your community, and best of all, give the property manage- ment team the appreciation that it so deserves. n Write for Community Trends ® CAI-NJ and the Editorial Committee are always looking for new articles to publish in Community Trends. ® If you are interested in submitting an article for possible inclusion in Community Trends ® , please contact Jaclyn Olszewski at 609-588-0030 or jaclyn@cainj.org.
