How much does pest control cost in Lagos?

Pest control cost depends on your property size, the type of pest, and how severe the infestation is. Termite treatment and post-flood fumigation always need an inspection first since the scope varies so much. Contact us with your property details and pest problem to get an accurate quote.

Why are pests worse during Lagos rainy season?

Heavy rain drives cockroaches, rats, and ants out of outdoor drains and burrows into buildings. Stagnant floodwater breeds mosquitoes within 48 hours. Humidity accelerates cockroach and termite reproduction. Pest activity in Lagos typically surges 200-300% between June and October.

How long does fumigation take?

A standard apartment takes 1-2 hours. You may need to vacate for 4-6 hours after treatment. Complex infestations require a follow-up visit in 2-4 weeks.

Can you treat mosquitoes specifically?

Yes. Our pest control specialists treat mosquito breeding grounds (stagnant water points), apply residual indoor sprays, and recommend larvicidal treatment for areas where standing water cannot be eliminated. Essential after flooding.

Is pest control safe for children and pets?

Our pros use approved, regulated chemicals. Always inform your pro about children and pets so they can advise accordingly. Vacate during treatment and ventilate before re-entering.

Do you offer a specific cockroach exterminator service?

Yes. Cockroach infestations are treated with gel baiting and residual spraying targeted at nesting areas like kitchen cabinets, drain points, and behind appliances, rather than just a general spray, since roaches hide deep and breed fast in Lagos humidity.

Can you remove rats and rodents from my home or compound?

Yes. Our specialists combine baiting, trapping, and entry-point sealing (gaps around pipes, gutters, and roof lines) since rats keep returning if the access points are not closed off after removal.

Do you handle termite treatment?

Yes. Termite treatment requires identifying whether the colony is in the soil (subterranean) or the woodwork, so our specialists always inspect first before recommending soil treatment, bait stations, or wood treatment.

Can you get rid of bed bugs?

Yes. Bed bug treatment covers mattresses, bed frames, skirting boards, and furniture joints, usually with a follow-up visit 2-3 weeks later since bed bug eggs can survive the first treatment.

Do you handle bird control or nesting problems?

Yes. Our specialists install bird spikes, netting, or deterrents on balconies, AC units, and roof eaves to stop nesting and droppings without harming the birds.
