| Multifamily Nightmares: How to Stop Bed Bugs, Roaches & Mice (For Real) | Ep 67 | 05 Sep 2025 | 00:26:25 | |
Bed bugs, roaches, mice… and cash flow. In this Wealth Genius episode, Alfonso sits down with Christian Gilbert, an exterminator and real estate investor, to unpack the true cost of pest infestations in multifamily buildings and the fastest, most reliable ways to fix them.

We dig into why chemicals often fail (egg survival and resistance), how re-introductions happen even after a “successful” treatment, and why owner control (including enforcing prep, sealing building penetrations, and, when necessary, evictions) is critical to protect NOI.
