Information about pest control in our blog

Last Saturday I decided to take advantage of the good weather to go up to Monte Fajardo, right here in Cartagena. The idea was to enjoy a quiet walk with some friends among the pines which, although not very tall in that area, really bring the landscape to life. But as soon as we started the route, […]

Last week was intense, with two very different cases that show that, in pest control, there is no one‑size‑fits‑all solution. If you live in a chalet or have a second home, you will probably relate to what we found. Table of contents1. La Vaguada: When Rats "Learn"2. La Manga: The Mouse in the Pump Room3. […]

You have just finished the renovation of your dreams in Churra. Fresh paint, new floors, and that modern design you wanted so much. But suddenly, one night you turn on the kitchen light and there it is: an American cockroach crossing the living room. How is it possible if the house is "new"? This is the real story […]

If you manage tourist accommodations on the Murcian coast, you know that success does not only depend on having a good location.

They are not always visible, so it is important to learn how to detect a hidden wasp nest before it becomes a real health problem for your family or your business customers. If you live in Cartagena or manage a venue in the Mar Menor area (La Manga, Los Alcázares, San Javier...), you will know […]

If you have reached this point, you have probably had a knot in your stomach for days —or maybe weeks. That feeling of not being able to relax in your own home is more common than it seems when there is a pest problem. We know exactly what you are going through. When our phone […]

Here in the Levante we have many good things: the sun almost all year round, our enviable gastronomy, and the beaches. But let's be honest, our hot and humid climate has a "B side" that no one likes: the constant presence of cockroaches. If you live in Cartagena or anywhere in the Region of Murcia, it […]

The pleasure of sailing is incomparable. The wind, the sea, the freedom… but that feeling can be quickly ruined by an invisible and persistent enemy: the presence of pests. This week, the owner of a sailboat moored in Puerto de Mazarrón contacted us in distress. He had detected a small rodent infestation in his 10‑metre‑long […]

We often receive calls from people worried about night-time bites, which are usually attributed immediately to bed bugs. However, this is not always the case. The origin of the bites that appear while we sleep can be very varied: from mosquitoes, fleas, scabies mites or dust mites to allergies caused by detergents, synthetic materials or pet hair. Even some allergic reactions […]

The presence of cockroaches on board a fishing vessel represents a serious threat to crew health and food safety. These insects can contaminate the catch and severely damage the ship’s reputation. For this reason, it is essential to act quickly and contact professional pest control services to eradicate the problem safely and effectively. Table of contents1. Real case: infestation […]
