HOA & Condo Associations · Family-Owned · 34 Years
The HOA pest contractor your board actually rehires.
Multi-unit pest, common-area lawn & ornamental, scheduled community-wide treatment, single-point monthly billing — that's the program, and we've been running it for HOAs and condo associations across Palm Beach County for 34 years. Per-pod scheduling, notice-letter coordination, and a single property-manager point of contact who knows your community by gate code. Owner-operated by Dale Martin and James. Two trucks. Same techs every visit.

Why most HOA programs fail
The big chains treat your HOA like 400 separate residential calls.
A residential exterminator who shows up at one home and asks "where's the gate code?" is not an HOA program. HOA work needs coordination, scheduling, and someone the property manager can call once.
Mistake 1
One-off-call billing
Some companies bill the homeowner direct on each call, ignoring the master contract. Property managers hate that — it creates resident complaints and accounts-receivable confusion.
Mistake 2
No notice-letter system
Common-area treatment requires advance resident notification per FDACS rules. Half the chains don't know that. We coordinate the notice letter with your property manager 48–72 hours before service.
Mistake 3
Different tech every visit
Communities of 200+ units take 3–6 months to learn — gate codes, pet schedules, board-meeting cycles, who insists on indoor-only treatment. Sending a new tech every visit means starting from zero.
The DeBugem HOA program
What's on every HOA contract.
Quarterly common-area perimeter treatment — clubhouse, pool deck, gate house, mail kiosks, exterior amenity buildings.
Per-pod resident schedule — we service all units in a pod the same week so the property manager isn't fielding 200 individual access requests.
Notice-letter template provided to your property manager 72 hours before service. Bilingual (English + Spanish) on request.
Single property-manager point of contact — one phone number, one email. We know your gate codes and bylaws.
Single technician across the community — same crew at the front entrance every quarter.
Annual termite inspection on common-area buildings, with 12-month re-treat warranty included if termites return.
Mosquito barrier program optional April–November for amenity zones (pool deck, club house, sport courts).
Annual board-meeting attendance if requested — we walk the community with the board, present a year-end pest report, and answer questions.

Why HOAs and condo associations hire us
Built for property managers and boards.
One contact
Owner-direct on every call
Property managers and board chairs get Dale on the phone, not a call center. Two-tech shop (Dale + James), single market, 34 years in PBC. The owner is accountable on every job.
One invoice
Single-point monthly billing
One line item to the HOA or property management company every month. CPI-capped annual adjustments. No per-resident billing, no surprise add-ons, easy to read into the meeting minutes.
One schedule
Per-pod community-wide cadence
Whole community moves through the cycle together. Notice letter goes out 72 hours ahead. Residents know the day. Property managers don't field 200 separate access requests.
FAQ
What property managers ask.
How does the notice letter coordination work?
72 hours before each common-area service, we email your property management office a notice-letter template (English and Spanish). Your office sends it via your existing resident-communication channel (email, posted notice, app). FDACS requires at least 24 hours' advance notice — our 72-hour buffer leaves room for board approval.
Can I cancel mid-contract if there's a service issue?
Yes — there's a 30-day no-fault cancellation clause for service-quality complaints. If pests return between visits, we come back at no charge. Cancellation for price-shopping mid-contract is not covered.
What about residents who refuse interior treatment?
No problem. We log opt-outs in our system and skip those units. The HOA is billed only for completed services on opt-in units. About 4–6% of residents opt out in any given community.
Do you do pet-friendly applications?
Default. All our chemistry is EPA-registered for use in homes with pets. Re-entry windows (typically 30–60 minutes after liquid; immediate for granular) are posted at the clubhouse and listed on the notice letter. We never use anticoagulant rodent bait inside buildings.
Will you attend our annual board meeting?
Yes, on request. We present a 12-month pest summary, explain treatment changes, and answer resident-board questions. No charge — it's part of the contract.
What about termite work on common-area buildings?
Yes. Annual inspection of clubhouse, gate house, sport buildings, maintenance shed, mail kiosks. Termidor SC barrier where active subterranean termites are found; borate-based wood treatment and spot-injection for drywood. 12-month re-treat warranty included if termites return. Quoted per building.
Free HOA walk-through. Real proposal.
30-minute walk with your property manager. We map common areas, count units, and quote within 5 business days.
