We’ve been getting a lot of calls from property managers about “mayflies” lately.
In many cases, it’s actually something else. It’s actually non-biting aquatic midges.
The difference matters, because it changes how you approach the problem.
For multifamily properties, this isn’t just a nuisance issue.
It can quickly turn into:
→ Increased resident complaints
→ Pressure on onsite teams
→ Disruption to the overall experience of the community
The key piece we’re seeing missed: Treating the building alone won’t solve it.
If the source is a pond, lake, or retention area, the issue will continue unless that environment is addressed.
This is where a more proactive, property-focused approach makes a difference.
At EPM, we work with property teams to identify the source, evaluate contributing conditions, and build a plan that reduces pressure across the property, not just temporarily, but throughout the season.
If you’re seeing increased activity, it’s worth taking a closer look at what’s driving it.
