Cockroaches and bed bugs

Cockroaches and bed bugs are the most stubborn household pests: they hide in seams, behind skirting boards and in mattresses, reproduce quickly and shrug off DIY spray cans. Fighting them yourself at best chases them into the next room — or to the neighbours. Affiliated controllers treat with precision and schedule a follow-up check as standard, because with these insects one treatment is rarely the whole story.

Expect € 250 to € 600 per treatment, depending on the insect and the number of rooms. With bed bugs your preparation is part of the job: wash bedding hot, make the bedroom accessible and above all do not start hauling mattresses around — that spreads the infestation through the house. The controller explains exactly what to do beforehand.

If you live in an apartment or terraced house, mention it in your request: these insects travel to neighbouring homes via service shafts and shared walls, and a joint approach with the neighbours prevents re-infesting each other.
