Information about pest control in our blog

Living in our area, between the scent of sea salt and the Murcian orchard, is a privilege. However, this unique environment also presents small challenges when it comes to unwanted "tenants". This week, my route took me to San Pedro del Pinatar to attend to two cases that sum up the concerns of many residents well: a kitchen […]

Let's be honest. You moved to the Region of Murcia looking for the sun, good food and peace of mind. You left behind the cold and rain of northern Europe to enjoy your retirement or your new life on the coast. Everything is perfect... until you come across the first "jumbo-sized" cockroach in the kitchen or discover […]

Sometimes, the greatest enemy at home is not the one that makes the most noise, but the one that knows how to hide best. This week we were in Era Alta, very close to Alcantarilla, visiting a client who had a nagging feeling: he had seen "only" six or seven cockroaches in the kitchen. For many, that might […]

Having an impeccable garden is the dream of any resident in the area of Orihuela Costa or Pilar de la Horadada. However, the tranquillity of a back patio can be shattered by one of the most common nightmares: an ant invasion that seems immune to any supermarket insecticide. Recently, we attended a case in Campoamor where a homeowner tried, without success, to […]

Spring arrives in Murcia, Cartagena and Alicante, bringing with it a problem that many residents don't see coming: the nesting season. Between March and June, birds such as swifts, sparrows or pigeons seek shelter in the most unexpected places, especially in the ventilation ducts and smoke outlets of our homes. Table of contents1. The chaos of "shunts" in residential buildings2. An invisible […]

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. In areas like Cartagena, La Manga or the Mar Menor, the competition is extremely high and the level of demand from guests, even more so. We often focus on decoration or the welcome kit, but […]

Let's be honest: no one wants to admit they have rats. It's a taboo subject that is usually embarrassing and, above all, very disgusting. But at Control de Plagas Levante we see this every day in Cartagena and we know perfectly well that it is not a question of dirtiness. A small crack, an old downpipe, or […]

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 […]
