What counts as a pest emergency?
- Rats or mice inside a home, kitchen or food store
- A sudden cockroach outbreak in a restaurant, cafe or hotel
- Bed bugs found in a bedroom, hotel room or holiday rental before guests arrive
- A wasp nest near a door, balcony or play area
- Active termites discovered during renovation or handover
- Any pest problem ahead of an inspection, audit or event
How does our emergency pest control work?
- Call or WhatsApp. Tell us the pest, the type of property and the location. We confirm the earliest available visit time.
- Rapid inspection. The technician confirms the pest, the source and the extent of the problem.
- Immediate treatment. We treat the high-risk areas first, using Dubai Municipality-approved products that are safe for occupied homes and workplaces.
- Proofing and prevention. We close entry points where possible and explain what attracted the pests.
- Follow-up. A follow-up visit confirms the problem is solved and sets up prevention if you need it.
What should I do while waiting for the technician?
- Keep children and pets away from the affected area
- Cover or put away food, dishes and utensils
- Do not disturb a wasp nest or block a rodent’s exit route
- Avoid using shop-bought sprays, which scatter insects and make treatment harder
- Note where and when you saw the pests, and take a photo if you can
Which pests do we handle in an emergency?
- Cockroaches and ants
- Rats and mice
- Bed bugs
- Termites
