There are rats everywhere, and the management does nothing to get rid of them. You can't even sit by the pool because of the rats, and at night the roaches run wild. I talked to the manager, and she said no one had complained, but other tenants say have complained to her. If you sit out by the beautiful pool, you can see rats running all around, and not just at night. They are out during the day too.

I too have a problem with insects--gnats (also known as fruit flies). The gnats were in my home the first day I moved in. I thought they would soon go away because I was just moving in and I assumed that maintenance exterminates the apartment during the cleaning process of one tenant moving out and the next moving in so I didn't call for a maintenance request. I was wrong. The gnats NEVER went away. About two weeks later, I called the office and put in a request for an exterminator to come by. The exterminator that San Paloma uses is wack. I think it's ABC Pest Control and they come every Tuesday. Again, the gnats NEVER went away. Pest Control came to my apartment THREE times and again the gnats NEVER went away. I just stopped putting in requests for pest control because it obviously didn't work. I have lived in the apartment for seven months now and I still see a gnat (or fruit fly) flying around every now and then. But it's not as bad as it was when I first moved in. I keep a VERY clean house. My friends always tease me and say they think I have OCD because I am that much of a neat freak. Therefore, the apartment complex must have some type of infestation problem with gnats. I have read reviews on here where people have infestations of roaches, rats, and ants. But my apartment is infested with gnats. I'm the lucky resident. I haven't seen one roach, rat, or ant yet but it's very annoying to have gnats flying around your face while watching television, or flying around your food while cooking or eating dinner, or flying around your guests who just complemented you on how nice the inside of your apartment looks. How embarrassing.
