Tenant cannot control persistent odorous house ants despite multiple baiting and caulking attempts, and landlord refuses to allow void injection or accept responsibility.

Workarounds Described

• uses Terro bait but ants swarm and die too quickly
• applies Advion gel and caulks cracks but ants persist
• vacuums piles of ant bodies daily
• landlord provided boric acid and sugar mix which did nothing

Implied Software Gaps

• A tenant-facing pest management app with structured treatment plans and landlord communication tools

PestTrack Tenant

A tenant-focused pest management app that guides residents through effective DIY treatments for common pests, tracks infestations, and generates official reports for landlords. It includes step-by-step protocols with product recommendations, void injection instructions (with landlord-approval templates), and colony monitoring logs to prove persistence and justify professional treatment.
