Lauderdale Lakes is an inland city west of Fort Lauderdale, along Oakland Park Boulevard and State Road 7. Its older garden-apartment complexes and rental stock produce many cockroach, ant and rodent calls, and most of that work has to be coordinated across units.
Lauderdale Lakes is an inland city west of Fort Lauderdale, laid out along Oakland Park Boulevard and State Road 7 and US 441. It is a city of rental and multi-unit housing as much as of single-family homes, and the two are closely tied in how pest work gets done.
The older garden-apartment complexes here are low buildings with shared walls, attic spaces and plumbing chases, and they sit next to 1960s to 1980s single-family and condo communities. Rental and multi-unit stock is the main reason cockroach, ant and rodent calls are common in the city. A single unit's treatment rarely settles a building, so the first job is usually to find out which neighbors share the wall, the pipe or the attic.
Fort Lauderdale rarely sees a freeze, so termites, roaches, ants, mosquitoes and roof rats stay active in every month; the mid-May to mid-October rainy season and June to November hurricane season decide which one is calling this week.
Roaches move through shared walls and plumbing chases, so one kitchen that is treated while the one beside it is not can see the problem return within weeks. Ants follow moisture and food residue along the same lines, and in older buildings the gaps around pipes and outlets give them a route between units.
A better first step is a building-level survey. A technician can check which units share a chase or an attic, record where activity is worst, and agree with the owner on a date when neighboring units are treated together. Tenants are told what to clear from cabinets and under sinks before the visit, which makes the treatment last longer.
Rodents in multi-unit buildings usually enter at the roof line, through gaps around pipes and vents, and along the top of the walls. They nest in attics and wall voids, and they can move from one unit to the next through the same openings. Droppings, gnaw marks and noises in the ceiling at night are the signs that tenants most often report.
A landlord's visit should cover the common roof space and the openings that serve several units, not only the apartment that made the call. The technician will explain what the owner is responsible for sealing, what the tenant should not block, and which areas will need a repeat visit.

Tell the building owner or manager in writing as soon as you see activity. Building-wide roach and rodent work usually has to be coordinated by the owner, and a technician can work from that request.
Roaches move through shared walls and plumbing, so a unit treated alone can be reinfested from the next one. A building-level plan that covers neighboring units on the same day tends to hold better than a single-unit visit.
It is not an emergency, but it should be dealt with promptly, because rodents breed and spread through shared openings. Call (855) 974-4733, and a technician will say what to seal and what to treat on the first visit.
