Comprehensive list of Types of Pests We Remove

When it comes to maintaining a healthy, safe, and comfortable living or working environment in Kenya, pest control is not just a luxury—it’s a necessity. At Bestcare Services Kenya, we understand the unique pest challenges that homeowners and businesses face across our diverse climate zones, from the coastal humidity of Mombasa to the highland regions of Nairobi and beyond. Our comprehensive pest removal services are designed to tackle every type of infestation, ensuring your property remains pest-free year-round.

Understanding the Importance of Professional Pest Control

Pests are more than just a nuisance; they pose serious health risks, cause structural damage, and can severely impact your quality of life or business operations. Disease transmission, contamination of food supplies, and destruction of property are just a few of the problems that come with pest infestations. That’s why professional intervention is crucial. Our trained technicians use safe, effective, and environmentally responsible methods to eliminate pests and prevent their return.

Crawling Insects

Cockroaches

Cockroaches are among the most common and resilient pests in Kenyan homes and businesses. These nocturnal insects thrive in warm, humid environments and are known carriers of bacteria, including Salmonella and E. coli. We handle all species commonly found in Kenya, including German cockroaches, American cockroaches, and Oriental cockroaches. Our treatment methods include gel baiting, residual spraying, and integrated pest management approaches that target both adult roaches and their breeding sites.

Ants

From the tiny sugar ants invading your kitchen to aggressive safari ants that can pose a threat to small children and pets, ants are a persistent problem. We specialize in identifying ant species and their colonies, then implementing targeted treatments. Whether it’s the common black ant, pharaoh ants in hospitals, or carpenter ants damaging wooden structures, our solutions eliminate the entire colony, not just the workers you see.

Bed Bugs

The resurgence of bed bugs has become a significant concern for hotels, residential properties, and even offices. These blood-feeding parasites cause itchy bites, anxiety, and sleep disturbances. Our bed bug treatments include thorough inspections, heat treatments, and residual insecticides applied to all potential hiding spots including mattresses, furniture, and wall crevices.

Termites

Termites cause billions in property damage worldwide annually, and Kenya is no exception. These silent destroyers can compromise the structural integrity of buildings before you even notice their presence. We offer both pre-construction termite prevention and post-construction termite control, using soil treatment, baiting systems, and wood treatment to protect your investment.

Fleas and Ticks

Pet owners know the frustration of flea and tick infestations. These parasites don’t just affect animals—they can bite humans and transmit diseases. Our comprehensive treatment includes addressing both the adult pests and their eggs throughout your home, yard, and on pet resting areas.

Flying Insects

Mosquitoes

In a country where malaria and dengue fever remain health concerns, mosquito control is essential. We provide residual spraying, larviciding in breeding areas, and advice on environmental management to reduce mosquito populations around your property. Our treatments target both indoor and outdoor mosquito habitats.

Flies

From common house flies to fruit flies and blow flies, these pests contaminate food and surfaces while spreading disease. We implement integrated fly management programs that include sanitation recommendations, exclusion techniques, and targeted treatments using baits, traps, and insecticides.

Wasps and Bees

While bees are important pollinators, when they nest in or near buildings, they can pose stinging risks. We safely remove bee swarms and wasp nests, relocating bees when possible and eliminating aggressive wasp colonies that threaten safety.

Rodents

Rats

Rats are incredibly destructive pests that gnaw through electrical wiring, contaminate food stores, and spread diseases like leptospirosis. Kenya’s urban areas face particular challenges with roof rats and Norway rats. Our rodent control program includes detailed inspections to identify entry points, strategic baiting and trapping, and exclusion work to prevent re-infestation.

Mice

Smaller but equally problematic, mice reproduce rapidly and can quickly turn from a minor issue into a major infestation. Our mouse control services use a combination of mechanical traps, bait stations, and sealing of entry points to eliminate existing populations and prevent future invasions.

Stored Product Pests

Weevils

Rice weevils, maize weevils, and other grain pests cause significant losses in both homes and commercial storage facilities. We provide fumigation services and residual treatments for pantries, stores, and warehouses to protect your food supplies.

Flour Moths and Beetles

These pests infest flour, cereals, dried fruits, and other stored products. Our treatment includes identifying infested materials, proper disposal procedures, and treatments to eliminate all life stages of these pests.

Wildlife Pests

Bats

While bats provide valuable pest control by eating insects, their presence in buildings creates health hazards through droppings and noise. We humanely exclude bats from structures and clean contaminated areas.

Birds

Pigeons, sparrows, and other birds that roost on buildings create sanitation issues, noise problems, and structural damage through their acidic droppings. We install bird netting, spikes, and other deterrent systems to keep birds away from your property.

Fabric and Wood-Destroying Pests

Carpet Beetles and Moths

These pests damage carpets, clothing, upholstery, and other fabric items. Our treatments protect your valuable textiles and furnishings from these destructive insects.

Wood Borers

Powder post beetles and other wood-boring insects can damage furniture, flooring, and structural timber. We identify the species involved and apply appropriate treatments to eliminate infestations and protect wood from future attack.

Garden and Outdoor Pests

Snakes

While encountering snakes in urban areas is less common, properties near natural habitats may experience visits from various snake species. We provide safe snake removal services and advise on making your property less attractive to snakes.

Moles and Other Burrowing Animals

Creatures that create tunnels and holes in lawns and gardens can be controlled through trapping and habitat modification.

Our Approach to Pest Control

At Bestcare Services Kenya, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every pest problem is unique, requiring a customized approach. Our process begins with a thorough inspection to identify the pest species, assess the extent of the infestation, and determine contributing factors. We then develop a tailored treatment plan using integrated pest management principles that emphasize long-term prevention alongside immediate elimination.

We prioritize the safety of your family, pets, and employees by using approved products and application methods. Our technicians are continuously trained on the latest pest control technologies and environmental best practices. We also provide detailed documentation of our services and offer ongoing monitoring programs to ensure pests don’t return.

Prevention and Maintenance

Beyond removal, we educate our clients on preventive measures. Simple steps like proper food storage, regular cleaning, sealing cracks and gaps, and managing moisture can significantly reduce pest attraction. Our maintenance programs provide regular inspections and treatments to keep your property protected throughout the year.
