A small tweak that’s worked for me is pitching it as a short experiment: “Love that you’re composting - could we try freezing scraps and dumping them in one go then topping with a handful of shredded mail so the breeze doesn’t carry the smell into my kitchen? I’ve got a bag of shreds you can use; let’s try it for a week and check in.” Also, avoid words like pests or health and keep it about comfort and the breeze; looping in the HOA or group chat is what usually turns this into drama.
