Information about pest control in our blog

A couple of weeks ago a neighbour from Los Dolores (Cartagena) called us quite worried. Both she and her young son woke up every day with bites below the knees. They were small red bumps that wouldn't stop itching. She also told us they had spotted tiny black bugs jumping around the floor. Clear as […]

If you've landed here, it's because you searched on Google for "how much does it cost to fumigate a house for cockroaches" or "pest control price" and you're tired of websites that don't give you a single figure. In the Murcia and Cartagena area, with the heat and humidity we have here, pest issues are […]

Hello! Have you noticed that with this heat starting to appear along the coasts of the Murcia Region, some uninvited guests have shown up? Yes, we're talking about cockroaches. With the humidity and temperatures we have right now in Cartagena and Murcia, these bugs feel like they're in a five-star hotel and their spread is […]

Maintaining a property in good condition goes far beyond aesthetics. In our region, from the neighbourhoods of Cartagena to the coastal areas of the Mar Menor and Murcia, neglected plots and vacant lots have become a headache for both neighbours and owners. If you have a plot and the weeds have started to take over, […]

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 […]
