Multifamily Collective Podcast 2,132 - Why Pests Are a Hidden NOI Killer — And How PropTech Is Finally Fixing It
I guarantee you’ve dealt with pests in multifamily at some point — but you’ve probably never thought about how broken the system really is.In this video, Mike Brewer sit down with Landon Cooley, fourth‑generation pest‑control pro and co‑founder of Pest Share, to unravel why pests aren’t just a headache — they’re a silent drag on occupancy, retention, and ultimately NOI.
We walk through how traditional pest control in multifamily is fragmented, reactive, and often ignored until it becomes a crisis.
Then we shift to the future: a tech‑enabled, centralized PropTech solution that puts control in the hands of residents and property managers — turning pest control from liability to amenity.
If you manage multifamily properties or invest in real estate, this could dramatically change how you think about maintenance, retention, and resident satisfaction.If you care about reducing turnover and protecting NOI, make sure you subscribe — because this is one of those conversations you don’t want to miss.
Pest Share is a tech-driven platform founded in 2019 that modernizes pest control for the rental housing market, allowing property managers to automate service requests through integrations with their systems and offering residents easy, on-demand access to vetted national pest control providers. Co-founded by CEO Landon Cooley and brothers Justin and Tom Clements, who have deep industry experience, Pest Share aims to solve the administrative burden of pest control for managers while creating recurring revenue streams and improving resident satisfaction.
